Setting Up An Analogue Timer
Here I am going to tell you how to set analog timer switch. You can also find different kinds of timer switch like there is 6 hours one, 12 hours one and 24 hours one which I will be demonstrating today.
- In a flash compact 24hr analogue timer, with the device you would see the face of the timer, along with an ON-OFF switch which is usually given on the right hand side of the timer.
- On the face of the timer, there would be a pointer which is used to set the clock.
- There will be numbers from 1, 2, 3 --- 24 just like there would be on 24 hours clock.

- Now in order to engage the timer, there is a lever given on side of the timer.
- When the eye like icon will indicate the engagement of timer.
