Can I use this manually without the timer? Just turn it on and off at will from a switch on my deck that controls the outlet it is plugged into?

Yes you can. Remove the small on and off switches from the clock. Leave the timer in the "on" position and use the light switch to cycle the transformer.

Yes you can. Remove all the trippers from the dial. Turn your outlet ON and use the manual off/on switch (upper left corner) of the device to be sure the device is turned on. Then you can control it from the switch on your desk that controls the outlet it is plugged into.

Yes. Advance the timer wheel till the lights are on and then remove the little on/off time adjustment clips. The timer motor will continue to run but won't operate the on/off switch.

Without power the timer doesn't work. You would have to reset it like a clock.

I don't think it's what you are looking for. It needs the input voltage to run the timer. If you hold the switch long enough to get past the user set time delay, as soon as you release the momentary switch the output relay will go back to the normally closed position. If you used a normally closed momentary switch you could connect to the normally closed side of the output relay, and provide power for a set amount of time, but there wouldn't be power before you pressed the button.

Our power went out for an hour last week. The timer did not have to be reset after the power came back on. Also, I found it easier to program the timer if I plug it into an extension cord to program it, and you can disconnect it to plug it in directly to the power receptacle on the wall without losing the programming (if it is fully charged).

No you can't for this model. The timer is for one hour. You push a button to turn it on. You can manually turn it off by pushing the button, but if you do not it will run for 1 hour. Hope this helps.

You can turn it off by pushing the button until it says off, and again until it says auto so it still functions on the timer. Same for on.

There is a switch on the top of the unit labeled "ON" and "TIMER". You choose the position "ON" if you want the outlet to remain on.

Yup that's what I have mine on. I bought a cheap timer (2 pack Stanley) from Amazon and it works perfectly. I use the timer function all the time and then turn timer off when I want to operate it manually

I plugged the unit into an outdoor grounded/ground fault outlet and ran an extension cord to our outdoor lights --- I don't see why you could not plug it into an extension cord as long as it is a grounded cord. But this would expose the unit to the timer to the elements

not 100% sure but the unit does not work without anything plugged into it. The timer functions when something is plugged into it. With nothing plugged in, there's nothing to turn on and off. Might want to contact the manufacturer. BTW, mine is working great. Using it to turn a pond pump off/on throughout the day to save on electricity. I know that doesn't answer your question but thought I'd throw it in anyway :)))

No. It is manually turned on for a specific amount of time. It doesn't have a timer mechanism to set a time for it to start.

No, this does not have a timer. I have to switch it on/off manually. However, I like it since I do not have to pull the plug out after use.

Yes. There is an override switch on the controller that lets you activate or deactivate the controlled outlet at any time. The controller will continue to go through its regular programmed/timed operations, activating and deactivating the outlet as scheduled.

No timer that you can set yourself. There is an auto shut off after it runs through its cycle.

to the best of my knowledge there was no timer option. I would say I am about 75% sure on this. I would check, but I do not have the unit near by.

There is not a timer on the unit. It can be used with either a digital or dial timer at the outlet.
