How does the receiver unit react to power outages/glitches? Does the light (load) turn on, off, or retain the last state? Have to reprogram it?

I have never experienced a power outage with my units. My guess, considering the technology, is that it will retain the last state. I installed them at our winter home in Arizona and I am currently in Canada or I would shut down the circuit and do a test. You definitely do not need to re-program as the matched sets come from the factory pre-set and are certainly not powered in the box. As with any electronics, an unusual situation/distrubance caused by lightning interacting with power line, frequency shift, etc can cause strange occurances. My experience with these devices has been very positive. I have never experienced a power outage with my units. My guess, considering the technology, is that it will retain the last state.

I've lost power many times and the unit maintains it's prior state. It is important to make sure the antenna goes inside the wall and remains fully extended . I had a small range problem and it turned out that when I pushed antenna wire into wall it bunched up making range suffer. I get a good 150ft no problem now

We have a few outages in our area. I have had no problems. There is no programming to do. My switch it is installed in a basement location. If the light is on when power is interrupted, I don't know if it comes back on when power is restored. If not it is a simple matter of flipping the switch.

I have never had to reprogram it since I bought it. During the power outages or glitches it stays in whatever state it was in. It is much more stable than the X-10 devices I had which were prone to burn out or flickering during a power transient.

We've had a couple power outages since installing the unit, and it retained the last state in each instance. So, no programming needed.

It alerts me when opened or closed no matter what. Not sure if power is lost.

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

Power failure is not problem, unit will work when power restored without re-programimg

I have three receivers connected and all working fine. Try switching around connection to different outputs to see if the Lnb is the problem or the receiver

I had the same question, after installing the unit i turned off all power for 5 minutes then back on. Nothing changed, it did not lose its program when i did this. I hope this helps you. With all thing electric if there is no power nothing will work. My remote did not change nor did the push button. I did not install a key pad so i cant answer that part of the question.

I have the exact same issue. All of the lights will go off eventually. If I leave it unplugged for a day and then hook it up again it will work for about 5-10 minutes then go out again as you describe. I checked with Netgear and they said I should return it for another one so that is what I will do.

The instruction say if both lights are out-replace the unit. I have noted twice so far one or two lights were out-so I checked the switch- yes it was off. Apparently on high loads of surge it will throw the switch off. Re set. This unit does instill a sense of security and is about the best in the market, I have found. Good luck. Old Timer

Funny you should ask! I went down to my basement the other day and the light was OUT! The unit is supposed to be under warranty for 5 years. It's been two years since I had it installed. I have already spoken with the folks at Intermatic and will be sending the unit to them for their tech guy to take a look at it to see what went wrong. No matter how this goes, I won't regret having the unit -- if it took a hit that would have taken out my well pump or septic pump, it's still worth the cost of replacing it. But there's still some hope that Intermatic will find that it was a defect in the unit and perhaps it will be repaired or I will be compensated somehow? Hey, if they repair it, I'll keep it just in case there's a problem going forward two more years from now! So - you're right - there is no reset switch and the units are NOT serviceable by the consumer - However, the company is really good and if you send them the unit, they will investigate what happened! Jury's still out on whether I'm just out the cost - we shall see!

Hi,If you "jiggle" the receiver (collar) then the light should come on. They are supposed to be designed to deactivate when the collar is not moving, in order to save battery power. As soon as you shake it a bit the light should come on. Check both sides to know which side the light is on. As always make sure you have well charged batteries in both the remote and the receiver. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a flaw in the remote's circuit board. The leftmost power button (red) should always turn the receiver on or off, even if you are using the universal remote function to control other components. I would contact Pioneer to get the remote exchanged. Hope this is helpful.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

Mine has been almost flawless. My guess is you are on the threshold of the 'sense' of on or off. We put ours on a receiver and it worked great for a week. Then we turned on HDMI pass through so we could watch a device with tv picture and sound, no surround sound. This 'pass through' had just enough power that it triggered the on/off and all our extra devices stayed powered up. You might plug in something with lower power consumption (or higher) and see if it stays on or off with no sound. The click is probably the relay powering up the other outlets.

it works like a circuit breaker. when overloaded it switches off. After that, then switch it back on.

Yes, mine is still working fine. Power went off tonight due to an accident. Turned it on and sat it on the counter. I'm impressed with the amount of light it gives.

I don't have this issue. However before you think something is wrong with your receiver be sure you go into the Receiver's Home Menu&gt;System Setup&gt;Other Setup&gt;Auto Power Down. Check and be sure that Zone 2 doesn't have it powering down after 30 min. If this feature is off or is set to power down after an hour or more then you might have an issue. Good Luck.

As far as I can tell the receiver stays on until manually shut off. The indicator light stays on until I hold down the power button, the unit beeps and then shuts off.
