Abstract:
An improved electrical timer used to turn on and off an electrical supply to an electrical receptacle, and where the timer comprises:microprocessor controlled pre-set timing scales allowing for â€œtimedâ€  energization of the electrical receptacle contained within the timer housing, and pre-set timing options, which function absent of time-of-day, day-of-week, or other chronological, calendar-based, or inter-dependent restrictions or requirements of operation, and a switching mechanism allowing for the continuous energization of the electrical receptacle contained within the timer housing, and a manual reset mechanism which allows for the immediate de-energization of the electrical receptacle contained within the timer housing, and a visual representation of the pre-set timer settings, via digital display of the ongoing status of the timing function (time remaining), and ground-fault circuit protection, and visual indicators which provide the status of the timer.
