Frequently Asked Questions Sato Keiryoki Mfg TM-29 Non-Contact Countdown Timer (0:01 - 99:59):
1/ What is the TM-29?
The TM-29 is a hygienic, non-contact countdown timer manufactured by Sato Keiryoki. It allows users to start and stop timing simply by holding their hand above an infrared sensor, eliminating the need to touch the device directly.
2/ Why is it called “non-contact”?
It uses an infrared proximity sensor that detects a hand within 3cm above the front panel. The timer starts or silences its alarm when you hover your hand - no physical buttons are required.
3/ What countdown range can I set?
You can program any duration from 1 second up to 99 minutes 59 seconds, adjustable in 1 second increments.
4/ How do I set the countdown time?
- Press and release the Min (minute) or Sec (second) button to select the field.
- Tap repeatedly to increment by one unit; hold to advance rapidly.
- Wait five seconds without input and the display locks in your setting.
5/ How do I start, pause, or stop the timer?
- To start: hover your hand over the sensor for about one second.
- To pause/ silence the alarm: hover again when the buzzer sounds.
6/ What alarm sound options are available?
Three selectable beep patterns:
- Single beep (1X)
- Double beep (2X)
- Quadruple beep (4X)
7/ How do I choose the alarm pattern?
- Flip the unit over and press the “Sound” button on the back.
- Each press cycles through the three patterns.
- Wait 30 seconds or press a time-set button to confirm.
8/ How does the timer notify me when time is up?
When the countdown reaches zero, the unit:
- Emits the selected beep pattern at approximately 70dB
- Flashes an LED on the front panel
- Makes the LCD digits blink
9/ How can I mount the TM-29?
The rear panel includes:
- A built-in magnet for steel surfaces
- A keyhole slot for hanging on hooks or screws
- A detachable adhesive metal plate for non-ferrous walls
10/ What batteries does it use?
Three standard AAA alkaline batteries.
11/ How long will batteries last?
Under moderate use (~50 cycles/day), batteries typically last up to one year.
12/ How do I replace the batteries?
- Unscrew the two screws on the battery cover.
- Remove the old cells and insert three fresh AAA batteries, observing polarity.
- Re-fasten the cover screws securely.
13/ How do I clean the front panel and sensor?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or mild detergent. Wipe gently, then dry thoroughly. Do not spray liquids directly onto the device.
14/ Are there any safety precautions?
- Do not immerse the timer in water.
- Avoid prolonged skin exposure to the alarm’s flashing LED.
- Keep out of direct sunlight and high-temperature environments.
15/ The timer does not start when I hover my hand.
- Ensure batteries are fresh and installed correctly.
- Clean the sensor area of any dirt or moisture.
- Confirm your hand is within 3cm and centered over the sensor.
16/ The alarm is too weak or silent.
- Replace batteries if the display dims or beeps are faint.
