2. SVP-916 Quick Reference Guide (The "Cheat Sheet")
If you have the device in hand and just need to program it, the instructions are almost certainly the same as standard Sinotimer digital switches. Here is the standard operating procedure:
A. Initial Setup
- Plug the timer into the wall socket (or connect the wires if it is the panel mount version).
- Reset: If the screen is blank or acting erratically, use a small pin to press the Reset button (usually a small hole on the front) to clear previous settings.
- Clock Setting:
- Press the Clock button.
- While holding the Clock button, press the Week, Hour, and Min buttons to set the current day and time.
- Release the Clock button to save.
B. Programming the Timer
The SVP-916 typically allows for up to 16 on/off settings (Group 1 through Group 16).
- Enter Program Mode: Press the Program (or P) button. The display will show
1 ON.
- Set "ON" Time:
- Press Week to select the day combination (e.g., MO-FR, MO-SU).
- Press Hour and Min to set the time you want the device to turn ON.
- Set "OFF" Time:
- Press the Program button again. The display will switch to
1 OFF.
- Repeat the process to set the day and time you want the device to turn OFF.
- Add More Programs: Press Program again to move to
2 ON and repeat the steps.
- Exit: Press the Clock button to return to the current time display.
C. Operating Modes (Auto vs. Manual)
This is the most common point of confusion. The timer has a Manual button that toggles modes:
- AUTO: The timer follows your programmed schedule. (You must toggle to this mode for the timer to work automatically).
- ON: The device stays on permanently, ignoring the program.
- OFF: The device stays off permanently, ignoring the program.
Note: You usually have to toggle through ON -> AUTO -> OFF or OFF -> AUTO -> ON. For the timer to run your schedule, the screen must display AUTO. Sinotimer Svp-916 Manual Pdf
9. Maintenance & Battery Replacement
- Replace backup battery every 2–3 years (CR2032).
- Clean exterior with dry cloth — never use solvents.
- Periodically check load contacts for welding or pitting.
3. Programming a basic ON/OFF schedule (Example: 6 AM – 10 PM)
The manual uses a table format for “Program Groups” (1-16). To set a daily light schedule:
- Press Timer → “1ON” flashes
- Set hour/min/week (e.g., Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su)
- Press Timer again → “1OFF” flashes
- Set your OFF time
- Press Clock to exit
- Then select “Auto” mode, not “Manual”.
The PDF includes a handy flowchart for this—much clearer than memorizing icons.
Quick-install wiring summary (typical)
- Turn off mains power before wiring.
- Connect live (L) and neutral (N) to the device supply terminals per the manual.
- Connect load to the relay output terminal (common and NO for switched live).
- Use appropriate wire gauge and a protective circuit breaker sized for the load.
- Earth/ground the panel but the timer relay usually does not require an earth connection.
