Default Viponel s15 timer

Hi all,
Just bought a LPLC6700 enlarger with the viponel s15 timer! Can anyone help me out with an instruction manual or .pdf download this Viponel timer? Thanks in advance Paul.

I don't have a manual, but I used to have the timer. If I recall correctly, one of the three buttons puts the enlarger light on for focusing, whilst another starts the timer running. I think you turn the central dial to the appropriate number of seconds, and then press the start button to make an exposure. There is a range switch which changes the value of the timer markings from seconds to tens of seconds. Having looked at a picture of one, I can't recall what the third button does! I assume you already know that the unit connects between the enlarger and the wall socket. The timer is plugged into the wall, and the enlarger into the timer. Mine used to make a bit of noise when switching, but I suspect it's contacts may have become dirty or corroded. There is a UK company who were/are Meopta distributors who may be able to supply a manual, but I'm sure someone here will have one.

Left to right, the red button is off, the white button is continually on for focusing and the green button is to expose for whatever time is set. The two-way switch below the white button is to set between 0 and 6 " or 0 and 60"

Another point: my timer is a bit close to the enlarger and, to avoid any risk of fogging from the white light dial, I've taped a bit of black plastic film to act as a curtain.
