You could take a look at Request["__EVENTTARGET"] in the page load event to see what control caused the postback. If it's the timer control, jump out of the function.

Assuming your timer is called "refreshtimer":

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (Request["__EVENTTARGET"] == "refreshtimer")
   {
       return;
   }
   // etc
