ya dude...


hit prog, your on your first on cycle, set it day hour minute, hit off.... your on your first off time, set it the same, you hit program again, I believe, and it will switch to your second cycle, keep doing that until you are done... then just wait and it will go back to the time.

then you then want it either on "auto on" auto-off" depending on what time it is.... mode button

Hope this makes sense. Pm me if you need more help I should be able to explain better. Got a drawer full of those things. Im way baked and dont have one in front of me but that should help.

For a pump right or something right...multiple on/off cycles??

edit: the same thing happened to me several years ago dude, thought I was an idiot and someone had to help me through a pm. I remeber those directions sucked or something, so your not alone in that bro

IM not using that one, But I have a similar one. IF it can set for each day you have to be sure to click through and set it for everyday of the week. Thats my first thought for that type, I did the same thing and only had it set for like one day at first.

you want it on auto bro.

Reset the whole thing. Then set the time.

Now Hit program and set your on time. Hit it again and the little light on the far left of the screen will switch to an x'ed out light, now set your off time. Remember to get it on all days for both settings. After its set just wait and dont push anything for ten seconds or so, it will switch back to the time.

The set it to auto.

Depending on what time it is it should either come on, or be off and function properly after that. Pm me if your still having problems.




.... how many amps is that thing rated for? I have never used them for lights.

LOL, dude just get a water heater timer. They are REAL easy to set...







Plus the safety of a high wattage timer, I'm running my 400 at 240 and the rest at 120

all I have to do for mine is set the time of day or whatever time is at the moment, and set when I want it to go on and off, and thats about it.
