after programming on/off, plugged in, turned on (green light on), but it is continuous, not on timer. How do i get it to work? i have it on auto.

Push on/off button to off. Then, if you programmed it correctly it will come on at your next scheduled program

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.

Sounds like you are using it in the Manual mode. It should be able to toggle the cursor to the "Auto" mode (shows in LCD) in which case the timer function takes over. The On/Off is to manually control it on demand. I don't own this so I don't know if the Man/Auto is controlled by Mode button? But I have other timers and it sounds like this is what you need to do.

It does sound like you may have skipped a step. Follow the instructions carefully one step at a time and it will work. Remember that it takes two separate events to make a complete cycle, one event to turn it on and another to turn it off. It sounds like you completed the turn on event but not the turn off event.

I sat at my desk in the house and programed it. I have trouble seeing it where it is outside in the pump house. I can then just change the duration times as I need (still a bit hard to see). if it helps the time that first displays is always midnight

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

Try unplugging the controller from the outlet. Let it reset for 30 seconds or so and plug it back in. I use this unit regularly on projects and that has worked for me in the past.

it is an absolute pain, and i emphasize PAIN to program, i gave up , i just plug it in at 12 pm and let it go from there, i am not kidding, good luck.

Update. so I called the factory and spoke to the Tech guy who explained to turn on the light to illuminate the keypad at night press any button. I did that on my unit and the light did come on. Unfortunately there is no 24 hour light that stays on option. You have to press any button to turn on light...at least that is what the tech guy says.....hope this helps..Chuck

I wired mine backwards first try. Worked fine until the timer triggered it off, then there was no power for the clock to continue. I just swapped the load wires, and it worked fine.

If it is programmed correctly the light should be red when the programm is on and shut when off, check if you did programm it right, sometimes the shedules have conflicts and it does that. If the programmation is correct, Cycle it off and then to Auto.

I haven't experienced that issue. I was thinking though, do you have a timer set? I am sorry. Please let us know how you get this resolved.

The flashing blue light indicates auto function is on. Turn switch off and on again and light comes on. Repeat and auto function is back on.

Its not programable, it comes with preset settings and yes it will stay on the same setting it was on before it is turned off or died

Hold the side button and the timer button at the same time! The battery might be dead b/ c the battery only lasted about 2 weeks on the one I bought!

I asked the same question when I called support. Set your time on and off. Manually turn them on. The on off time will then take over. The time you set will do that function. It will not evaluate the on off function continually throughout time. If set to turn on at 6 will turn on at 6. If you manually turn off then I won't turn on again until 6. Again set it and then be patient.

Try turning it off for 20 min and then turn it on making sure you have the switch in the center position ( there is off, motion sensing, and full time on postions) If this does not work it probably means the motion sensor has failed in the always on function

Me too. Still haven't got it set up correctly. Power to the digital array is working but the switch and timer do not. Sorry

The first of these timers I acquired was from Home Depot and it was a piece of junk, i.e., it would not keep a program, turn off when programmed , etc. It was returned to the store for a refund. The 2nd I acquired from True Value and I've had zero problems.

I haven't looked at the programming directions in a while, but you should be able to. You set it to your needs. I have mine set to come on at 6PM and shut off at 11PM. It even adjusted for daylight savings.
