I have a SST-600i timer. It does not have a battery backup, so how do I maintain my settings when the power goes off?

Just checked and see you got your answer from someone else. Good to know it won't go out in a power failure.

Looks like you have gotten the answer from others. I really never worried about it. Fortunately out here in NM we don't have a lot of power failures. (knock on wood)

I think it keeps maintain your settings even power goes of for a long time ( I don't know how long !)

It's been quite awhile since I installed my timer and I don't remember now what number it was----but I know that it did take a back up battery. Are you sure your's does not? I've never seen one that didn't? But I suppose that it's possible that the newer models might use a system that won't dump your settings when the power goes off. I haven't researched your model number so I can't say one way or the other for certain.

Unfortunately you don't unless you have it hooked up to a UPS (uninterruptible power supply). Which in my opinion is over kill.

It stores the settings in non-volatile memory, which is not lost if the power goes out. So it doesn't need a battery backup.

Apologies, I miss understood the question. I thought you wanted the system to continue to operate during a power outage.

It does *not* have a battery backup. Some settings survive a power outage, but some do not. For example, the setting to *not* go into power saving mode is not preserved; the "standby" mode - you have to reset the "standby" power level whenever the power comes back on - to disable that feature is you set the "standby" power level to 0 (zero) watts. The option to turn off the PIR motion detection feature does keep its setting when the power is restored. I don't know what happens to other settings that I do not change from their default values.

you could set up a timer on the power supply that is three volts to shut of then back on in 17 min timer this is a sealed computer box. So messing with that not advisable.

Yes. When you set the timer switch duration, it will reset every time the power to the switch turns off, in anticipation of the next "on" cycle.

Timer remembers the settings. There is an internal back-up power supply. Not sure how long it lasts, but I have not had to reprogram the timers. I have been very pleased with these timers. So far, the best I've ever purchased.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

Yes. Word of warning...if the power goes out, you will need to reset the timer. Also, this product lasted about one year and died on me. Did not replace with another. Went to Lowes and bought one that is digital and has battery backup ($25) seems to work great, but time will tell

Yes you would have to reset the timer if you flip the on/off switch. This is for things like a fan,washer,dryer,and so on. I use these power con servers on my washer and massage chair. Hope this helps you.

I do not believe a timer would work with this item.When it comes back on after losing power it stays in the off position.

Yes to your first question. As for the battery back up timer I haven't seen one of those.

The unit's control panel has no battery back-up system to "remember" what state of operation it was in prior to a loss of power. The heater defaults to the OFF when power is lost, then restored.

No, if you disconnect power you must manually turn it on. Cannot use it with an external timer.
2090155
Yes,All settings can be saved automatically. Setting contents would not lost when power supply drop.

Yes, there is built in backup. I don't know how long it will last, but definitely long enough for the typical power outage. Mine has been unplugged for over a day now and the display is still working (unlike the timer itself, which is permanently off, and ready for recyling).

No, when your electricity goes out, you need to reset your timer. Easy finger adjustment.

Batteries are a back up in case your power goes out to the circuit. It keeps the time and the settings you have programmed. As long as the electric is on, the batteries do nothing. It's when the power is off to the circuit is when the batteries take over to keep your settings on the timer. However the batteries will not turn the lights on or off. It only keeps your settings when the power goes off.

No, the settings are stored in non-volatile memory, so power outages or unplugging doesnt affect settings. I set one controller aside literally for years. When plugged back in the last settings were there.
