Does the clock run through a power failure? Ie: is it still correct after a power failure?

Yes it does continue to run correctly. This timer is the easiest to use most versatile of the many I've tried over the past 25 years

not sure. I think at HAS A BUILT IN SURGE SUPPRESOR. HAD IT FOR 6 MOS. LOVE IT AND EASY TO USE.

Yes clock still works thru power failure. The batteries should be fairly new for clock to run for an extended period of time.

The clock continued to work as expected keeping the proper time both after a power failure and after unplugging it for a short time.

Yes, the clock and all other settings (i.e., zone watering times) are retained during a power failure. No battery is needed, everything is stored in non-volatile memory:Quoting from the RainBird SST user manual:◾No need to reprogram after a power outage. All timer settings are stored indefinitely in memory. No backup battery needed!

The clock is powered by 120V and also has battery backup in case of a power outage. I actually use it inside of a coke machine to turn the exterior lights on and off so I'm not paying for the lights to be on all day. It should work fine for your outlet as it handles 120V in and out. Just Ohm out the wire that goes to your outlet and hook it to the power out wire on the timer. I haven't had an issue with it yet, but I had a friend that got a couple of duds before he finally got a good one. Worth the money though!

Yes it does "remember" most settings. After a power failure, all settings remain except the date and time.

This happend to mine also. I seen this advice on another site. Unplug it, wait a little, plug back in. Go to the setting menu. Go to clock. Make sure to turn off the auto clock setting. Then set it manually. This seemed to work for me. If this doesn't work you probally got a lemon.

There are two ways this could happen. One is if the power goes out. Then you will need to reset the timer to the correct time. The second is if the timer stops are loose or fall off. The best way to prevent this is to make sure the stops are tightened. I check mine every few weeks as I can, to make sure they haven't loosened over time. So far, no issues.

It should work right out of the box. You need return that as defective. Sometimes i don't set the clock n mine still works fine. Sorry to hear that.

As nearly as I could tell, there isn't one that works reliably-- apparently due to a defect in the clock. LaCrosse tech support replaced mine with a different model (complete with new sensor/sending unit) and the new one works just fine. If yours is still in warranty, call for a replacement. If not, it's time for a new clock.

You would have to activate the timer first for the timer to be on. (The little clock face on the lower left corner.) When the timer is activated the red power light would flash. Sounds like something is wrong with your unit though.

Hi, Miachael,I have had the power go out before and did not have to change the time or date; the only time that I have changed it is for Daylight Savings.

I think the default setting is reverted to, as indicated in the owners manual. Haven't been around during a failure and re-power to tell for sure.

I also have never got the timer/clock to work even after uninstalling, reinstalling, switching wires, reading instructions over and over, praying and being overall pissed. Have been manually using it as a switch for the off/on operation until I rip it out for the last time and toss it. Clock does not seem to keep time.

Below is what the tech specs say about loss of power. There is no replaceable battery that I see. I suspect it the local time is saved via a capacitor type back up and the other settings are stored permananetly any time you set them. I have only reset mine once and that was because I wanted the light to come on later because of holiday deco's on the porch. Power outage: The screen is blank. Only the time must be set if the outage lasts more than 4 hours; all other settings and programs are permanently saved.

I haven't had any battery issues, my clock is working fine. Sorry I'm not much help.

I think so, my power has not failed in sooooooooooooooo long I can't remember. I do remember it rang during the power failure but the Caller ID doesn't show up during the power failure and you can check any messages left on your phone. But you have program the phone before and after the power failure i.e date and year.

Yes, This is a simple 24 hour clock timer. I wouldn't bother for short power interruptions but for long outages you should check time every once and awhile. You also need to adjust for daylight savings time twice a year.

This clock would need to be reset in most circumstances. Like other analog clocks. Even so this device works very well.

I agree. I see no evidence of this feature in the instructions. But there may be a capacitor in it that holds the settings even though it may be necessary to reset the current time when the power comes back on. Perhaps that is what they mean?
