What timer power outlet is good for auto on and off for the Solenoid? One that works 24/7 on and off

I am just using one from Home Depot, it works great for my needs. You can program 4 outlets on it which is great if you want to control your C02 and lights separately.

I use a heavy duty woods digital timer, multiple on/off capable and battery backup so setrings are stored.

Buy a timer and set it to turn on unit whenever you wish. This works great for me.

Hi, I might be able to help. "B1" & "B2" go to the individuals batteries of course. "A" is the charging wire from your alternator and DE is the exciter wire that turns on your unit. Use a 16 or 14 ga wire (and connectors) to your fuse box and find a circuit that come "on" or is hot when your ignition is on. Piggy-back on to this circuit. You can also get a special piggy-back adaptor from your local auto parts store. This will turn on your isolator when (and only when) the key circuit is on or the vehicle is running and off when your ignition is off. Great unit and has worked well for me for almost 2 years. Let me know if I can help any further. Chris

No I doesn't. I would have to purchase a programmable timer with a function to program on and off times for the application you are talking about. The AGPtek 30 is designed to monitor the battery charge via solar panel of a battery without overcharging the battery. It is an excellent buy, and can handle lots of power 30amps x 24 volts = 720 Watts/Sec or 720 Joules/sec discharge. It's not as smart as the CM3024Z.

Hi,I just checked it as because I never switched it off by hand until now. The gauge comes with auto-power-off after ~5min it switches off automatically.

I used a red and a black #18ga wire. If you want a constant read on the meter even when the vehicle is off, you will need to find a constant hot source. I ran it directly to the batt. The wire can be bought at any auto parts store.

One has an auto shut off and one doesn't. It's best to save your money and go for the one without the auto timer. You could always buy an electric auto shutoff for way cheaper!!

5 run on the timer, there is one that acts as a normal outlet and is always on.

Since I use a timer to control the period of "charging", I do not have that knowledge. The timer, of course, has to remain ON all the time to keep the time. I doubt that the power goes off in the smartstrip "always on" group or the name would not be "always on".

I bought a fuse lighter plug an connected it to the wire.it's better that way so you can cut it on an off when ever you want.

This unit is junk ! I bought the hydrofarm single timer and it is so easy to use and if you need more than one outlet, just get a power strip and plug everything into that you need shut off, then plug outlet strip into timer.

I ordered this unit, it was a piece of junk, sorry that you got one also. Perhaps donate it to Goodwill. I hate to say this but I found a very good timer at ACURITE.COM, it has magnetic base and works well.

Device is a piece of sh't . Buy the single and plug a power strip in to it. That way you can have more than 2 outlets, switch the power off at the strip instead of unplugging the timet. This way the timer is always plugged in so it keeps the right time! Single is also so much easier to program. This one is like mission in possible to even figure out the directions! But yeah all you do is program, plug in your (toys) to the timer, and then timer in to the wall.

I went to Intermatic and this is their response. The timer has a battery for backup in case of a power outage. It only draws a trace amount of power off the hot wires and completes the circuit through the lighting, so it does not require a neutral connection. This timer will work on Inc/Flor/CFL/ LED. The battery will last up to 2 yrs.

Any basic timer should work well // purchased here on amazon or local hardware store the digital May have more options than the mechanical

The capacitor onboard is for the timer, not for a circuit when the timeout either opens or closes the relay. At 24 Watts and driving 2+ amps the relay could easily handle the load but it must be a separate circuit with its own power in serial with the relay. This is a timer/relay board originally for home automation running on a 12v 23A battery with whatever circuit -running on its own power if you want to do more than light an LED - connected to the relay. A much simpler approach would be to use discrete components with a power transistor drlving your 24 Watt LED.

It works with 2AA batteries which last me for 2 - 3 months. I do not know about a solenoid.
