Q1. What is the purpose of the "about150hrs back-up timer? Q2. In case of a Power Cut, does it retains my Programming? or do I have to re-programm?

Its has a built in battery. Nothing to worry, all data will be in safe for longer time period. I can't say exactly how long. But I can tell you a clue. It took 21 days to come this unit by post to Sri Lanka and at the time of receiving power is ON. which means this will last over 21 days without any problem. But There is one thing I could't check.. Most important thing. Most of the timers have that issue. If the power goes off when it is ON state and power resumes after OFF time. It will resume the power back because its relay is already on and couldn't go to OFF status when there is no power. In that case it will work when we don't want. So it is a problem for most of the times. So far never seen a one which will override that issue. Unfortunately I couldn't test this unit for that fault. Thanks !

sorry i dont have that thermostat but it should keep you programing as long as the batteries are good 30 years in the hvac business says thats what its for

I just timed mine and it takes a full minute before it times out. I've never felt that the time to power down was too short.

This is a simple mechanical timer...if the power goes out for 2 hours..it will be 2 hours behind when the power comes back on and will need to be adjusted (or reset) to the correct time.

I don't use mine anymore because it constantly trips the dedicated breaker. However, I just plugged it in (as it sits in the corner) and you press clock which defaults to 24 hour, press clock again and it will be in the 12 hour mode. From there, enter the current time and you should be good to go. Regards

I'm not certain about that. I think the power strip monitors the current draw from the control outlet, and if it drops below a certain amount, it triggers the shut-down. I can only suggest that you give it a try and see if it works the way you want it to. Otherwise, you can always use a different device as the control.

I have not put a timer on mine , but after your question, I tried programming in different cplot,and modes,then cut the power with a wall switch, and it has come back on in the same mode.

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.

hi Vicki, I have not been able to get it to do this. I don't even remember reading that this was possible in the instruction manual but granted I don't have the instruction manual anymore. But after looking at the timer itself -there are a total of 8 timer settings. So you could in essence run it for 1 minute starting at lets say midnight, then it would turn off, then start it again for a minute 15 minutes later, and so on for a total of 8 cycles. But that's really the extent of the extendable programming.

If you want it off at specific times you can attach it to a cheap timer you can get in any harddware store for a few bucks. The reason you can do that with this unit is that i has an automatic power interruption/restoration restart feature. External timers are equivalent to power failure, and most brands stay off after interrupted power comes back - not this one. The timer built in selects short intervals for round clock on-off, which is not what you want.

Agree with response from Randy but add that if you have a good firewall setup you shouldn't need to powerdown the router or the drive. This also helps for timed backups during non-peak hours.

I have no idea!!! I keep pulling it out, turning it on, using it at meetings for anywhere from 1/2 hour to 2 hours, turning it off, then doing it again. I also use it for emails in the morning. Hadn't thought about where the power comes from... Now I'm worrying. �

Oh my word. Thank you for the question. YES. I tried it as you said... I was wondering why my timers would all start over. I'v purchased a lot of them, so I won't forget things.. Yes... I put in 3 seconds, it went off; so I pushed stop. Then, I just pushed start again, and it counted down the 3 seconds. I did it about 4 times... 'cool' and thanks again for the question.

honestly I don't know since I have not experience an blackout in my area after installing this timer switch. However, I strongly believe that the battery backup shall keep the time for one simple reason, the time is part of the setting. I hope this helps.

My linkstation does not have a sleep function. I hate sleep modes. Always give problems. My model has on + off. Also an auto start function that is very unreliable. Maybe that's what you mean by a sleep function. Use On + Off and save yourself grief and wasted time. "code for NovaBackup?" What are you trying to do? Easy to backup the data on your linkstation. Backup the data folder as you have it mapped on your computer, F,G,H,I etc. Programming on the firmware is not available for backup. Contact Buffalo Tech Help by phone. Excellent help.

Hello -- I'm not exactly sure what you mean by does it work after unplugging then plugging back in. If the unit is powered off (and I think it would have the same behavior if attached to a programmable timer) then you need to actually turn it on manually for it to run again after that. Its thermostat works so well that maybe you wouldn't need to attach it to the timed power. Just set the temp you want, it will run as much as it needs to in order to get to that temp, then it will "inactivate" but it starts up again if the temp in the room begins to drop. So if it were me I'd avoid the timed outlet/power strip.Kathy Hello -- I'm not exactly sure what you mean by does it work after unplugging then plugging back in.

It depends on the draw. If it's a computer at rest or hibernating, you might get 30 min. Less power draw, more time. You can set it to shut down the computer at a percentage of remaining battery power. I have mine set to 20% remaining. You have to download software from Tripp Lite to enable this feature, but it protects from hard shutdown. If it's a spike or a short power loss, the computer won't even notice and won't shut down. Great system. I have my satellite box (no reboot) and my phone answering machine plugged in.DO NOT!!! plug in a laser printer!!!

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.
