TO make it work one function per week, do I program 1 on at the lift, and not program 1 off? Two timers, one tells unt to lift, other to close..??

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are using the controller to operate a chicken house door, the motor must be powered on to lift/lower and then powered off to reset for the next function (lift/lower). So, with the door closed, program the date and time you want the door to open. Then set an off time 3 to 5 minutes later to reset the motor for the close function. Then program the date and time you want the door to close by setting an on time and 3 to 5 minutes later set an off time.

yes, you can definitely program this to turn on at a specific time and turn off at another time on the same day. e.g. turn light on at 6PM and turn off at 5AM. I use this to turn on/off the lights outside my place and they work great. I am very happy with this product.

The short answer is that you can program on-off events for all the days of the week in one shot. By pressing the mode button, you can get it into a state that all days of the week are displayed at the bottom. Then you can set the timer to do the same thing every day. I found it difficult to decipher the instructions; for me they were written by tech writers and developers, without input from users. Also, the display on the unit is tiny, so it is hard to read the many things it can show. The good news is you can always restart the procedure if you think something is not right.

I had no problem programing my unit. I found it similar to setting a digital watch. One button steps you through the modes while another button selects the value in that mode. The instructions were a little vague but understandable. I really don't know what to tell you without more details.

This timer is designed to do specifically what you are asking in your question.You can set it up to do it from 6-9 once, daily, or a few days a week.

It depends on how much you set it up to feed and the size of your food. I was gone for 9 days, worked fine for me. It is complicatied to program, but once you figure it out it will make sense, but it did take me a while......

I haven't tried to program for every other week since mine is for my home but I do not believe you can. When you program it you can pick days of the week and times and duration but that is for each week.

Yes, programming can be done in as small as 1 minute intervals. Each on/off is an event, and up to 8 events can be set per day.

Yes you can set for a week or more. Just program it for a particular time and if you need to water at another time use the manual override, it will not change the program you have preset.

Manual says there is no 'Mo, We, Fr, Su'. However, there are 8 total events that can be programmed.

It's been a few weeks since I read the manual. My best recollection is that it has 31(?) "transition" times per 24 hour period that you can program into it. A transition is from off to on, or from on to off. To do this for 24 hours would require 48 transition times. So, I guess the answer is no. You could use 2 of them with the contacts connected in series. Program 1 unit for 12 hours of transitions, and the other unit for the other 12 hours. ***REVISION*** OK, I just looked at the manual, and it has 17 on/off transitions, NOT 31. So you would need 3 of these connected in series if you want 24-hour operation of on/off every 15 minutes.

Not sure I understand your question but you can set it to run for a one time 2 hour period or program for multiple times during a week.

My husband is the one who takes care of it, he said , it sounds like it didn't take the on /off time set. He also said, he has to get the book out every time he reprograms, because it is a pain.... Hope this helps, if not feel free to reply.

Yes you can, there are 20 separate programs that the timer will run. Each program can turn ON/OFF any day of the week.

Yes.. That is what makes it a "7 Day" timer. You can program everyday individually..,

No. Basically you have 7 different days you can program an on time and an off time. At the end of day 7, it goes back to day 1. So basically as the sunrise and set change, if you want your timer to change with it, you'll manually need to re-program the device. I usually need to reprogram mine 4 times a year (two of them are when we switch to and from Daylight Saving time) so the lights come on and off close to sunset and sunrise.

Read the instructions CAREFULLY. If you have the current time set properly, you can start at "To Program the Timer". I believe if you take the time to work through that carefully one step at a time. you'll be in business. This timer has a LOT of capabilities for settings, and it is easy to miss a critical step if you're only trying for one on/off cycle per day, at the same time every day. That was, however, all I wanted to do, and by wading through carefully everything is working fine for me.
