Is there an difference between the 2 timers? I inadvertently purchased the 12V DC one &amp; was wondering if I could use it for a 120V AC application.

I had the device and instructions carefully looked at by a Certified Electrician and was told it would work. However it will destroy itself when plugged into 120V AC. Don't believe the paperwork that the device comes with.

AC 120v. I have purchased a total of three of these now. 2 for me and one for my mom's house. I really like them and have gone outside of the house at night to get a feel of how it looks and I believe it does a great job.I put mine on a dedicated timer.

The timer is mechanical and doesn't use power but if you are turning off a 220v circuit, you need a double pole timer. This is a single pole timer and would only turn off one leg of the 220v volt circuit.

Would suggest you use both depending on your load requirement. The APS1000 will run batteries down quickly if connected to a small A/C or ref unit. Have 12 50 amp/hr batteries and after one day of running my 6000btu A/C 4.5 amps it took 3 days for the solar panels to recharge them fully. During hurricane Sandy my 2000watt gas inverter/gen ran my refer, small TV, phone and lighting without any problems. The ratio is 10 to 1 to produce 120volt ac from a 12 volt battery bank...

I use this relay on a 12VAC circuit. Works great. I think there is a small diode in series with the coil , so the coil would be DC. Check the one you have it might be the same.

Just use an adapter, 110 to 220. The timer may be set up for 60 cycle and may be off. I imagine that most timers these days are digital. It should work.

I've had no problems using mine of my 20A circuits. Keep in mind that it's only a small window that the 125A DC is available. I think maybe 10 seconds, then the units has a time out for 3 minutes. It's been a great charger so far. I've owed mine for over a year.

No, 12vdc is always required on to power the circuit. There are 2 pins that you wire to a simple push button ( must be momentary, not a switch. Like a doorbell button) once you push the button, the time will start. This closes the relay contacts. You use the relay as a switch to control what you like - this can be whatever you like (limited by the relay rating of up to 10 amps 250vac or 10 amps 30vdcYou must supply this voltage independently, unless it's 12vdc, then you can use the same supply voltage to the timer. The timer runs its cycle until the next time you press the button

There is no difference, this is a bilge blower. It operates on 12 volts DC, and it's very noisy.

This unit which is excellent as far as light produced per watt comes in two versions, 120 Volt AC and 12 Volt DC. I have no experience with the 120V ac but I like the brightness of the 12 Volt DC unit. They are NOT interchangeable.

this particular one is a 10-30vdc. So 12Vdc does work. or 20Vdc input. 24vdc, does not matter. Just means that the circuit card inside will take anything from 10vdc, up to 30vdc. They do make a 110VAC version, this is NOT it.

Technically, the resistance is probably the biggest difference. Do not think they are in any way interchangeable though. Aside from being ten times the potential, the 12v is direct current (DC) and the 110/120v is alternating current (AC). Plug any 12v device into a wall outlet in your home and see what happens (wear insulated gloves, goggles, and keep a fire extinguisher handy). Comparing DC electricity to water in a pipe, voltage is like PSI.

If you gp to a home depot and look at a Leviton package and get the company phone number and call them, they will advise you. That is what I did. The timers come in different voltages. They will tell you what model to get.

both of the ones I have are 2 prong plugs (but I am using them connected to 3prong timers - I would suggest getting 3 prong timers as you may find yourself using them for other things also...)

No, this is just a delay (timer) relay. You need 12v DC program-able digital timer. See amazon link for example part that can do what you want it to do for you.uxcell DC 12V Digital LCD Power Programmable Timer Time Switch Relay 10A

The one I have has only a 12 volt DC input and 12 volt DC output when they refer it being ac this is not the case they do build one with AC in and AC out its only water resistant only when the dome is installed upright or you could use good silicone around the seal watch your voltage rating when buying the AC one and if you use it with soar panels for 12volt lighting run it thru a solar regulator that has a load out on the regulator or it will burn up the 12DC light swiich

Roger, For the last several years I have been replacing timers that go bad with the universal replacement. They are great. The foot print is very accommodating, I haven't had any problem finding a spot to stuff them. All of the feeders I run are 6 volt. I don't think you will have any trouble and will be very pleased.
