In the instructions it says you can wire this in "reverse action" which means always on and timer makes load go off. How do you do that??

I believe the instructions included for this single pole switch cover 4 different models. From what I get out of the instructions you would use a single pole double throw model for that. If I'm reading instructions right ( half way down back side of instructions). You might get a better answer from a company engineer at the phone number in the fine print at end of sheet.

No. You need your neutral wire connected to this. If power is going to the light fixture first and then the switch then loops back, this timer will not work. The timer requires both a hot wire and neutral wire to operate correctly. If you have a switch loop run and you are able to pull a neutral from another run in the same box or another location altogether, then you could use that. Just do NOT use your ground as your neutral!

Not sure this will help but I didn't worry about wiring it to automatically come on in reverse but rather to a toggle switch so I can turn it on when ever I need it and it will stay on if you don't line it up exactly right and have to pull forward and back again. Simple install power from the battery to a toggle, then power from toggle to the unit. Easy as pie.

There is only one way to control it - the up & down arrows. A small label next to the light sensor lists the options: 0 turns the output on, A is auto-on, that is whenever the outside light level gets low enough, everything is on. Continuing with the up arrow, it does auto with timed shutoff and each number corresponds to the number of hours before it shuts off. For example, I use a setting of 3, which turns on the lights around 8:50 PM and shuts them off 3 hours later. Pretty crude controls, but I really don't need anything more more.

My unit is working at beginning Amazon ships unit without pin on/off timer you must buy separate. Connected black wireon left white/white wire on rright then set time then set timer on/off should work good luck

Hi Julie: Sounds like you have successfully powered the digital timer, but not the switch. The switch side does not power the circuit. You can run the + wire from the battery to one side of the switch and continue the + wire out of the switch to the item you are controlling. Run the - wire directly from the battery to the item you are controlling. IN other words, the digital switch only controls one of the leads to the load, which you must power. You can also just run a jumper from the + side of the timer to the + side of the switch to power the circuit instead of going all the way back to the battery. Hope this helps.

Yes. There is a switch on the side labeled "ON" and "TIMER". You choose the position "ON" if you want the outlet to remain on.

It is a little confusing since the advertising literature mentions a manual override switch but there is nothing labeled manual override. There are essentially only two settings an auto setting where the lights turn on with motion only at night and turn off according to the TIME dial setting. The Dusk to Dawn Setting which I guess is closest to what you want is activated by turning the light switch that controls the light OFF and ON twice within three seconds. Once you do that the light should come one at DUSK and stay on for 6 hours. After 6 hours it will revert to the timer setting and come on and off when motion activated. It will stay that way unless you once again cycle the power on and off within three seconds. You cannot set this light one time to stay on as a "Floodlight". You have to cycle the power each day if you want the unit to come on for 6 hours at dusk each day.

If you are having it installed by an electrician you should be able to set it yup to run automatically in the event of a power failure or you can set it so that you would only turn a switch and it would come on.

The timer has brass pegs screwed into the edge of the disc to set the "on" and "off" times. Simply unscrew the pegs (slowly and slightly, so the peg doesn't fall off) and move them around the disc to the desired off and on time. If the disc is not set to the correct time, you can simply turn it in the direction in which it spins (I believe that's clockwise -- just don't turn it in reverse). It's relatively simple, unless there's an electrical disconnection, in which case you should call an electrician. I hope that answered your question.

You are correct. There is no ON/OFF switch. This unit pairs nicely with a cheap plug-in timer from a hardware store (under $10). Then you can set the length of time you want it to run, and the timer will switch it off.

you connect the 2 timer in series or parallel? (if series the timer front and back in the circuit may cause the on off problem) You are saying the timer can not switch to auto and the manual function also not working? Had you check your supply at the timer terminal is it connected correctly? The timer activation time "on" and "off" is set correctly? Do you set it to be turn on and off on specify day or everyday (need set and select day/days)

There are two ways to turn it on. 1) manual on full time (stays on till you manually turn it off) and 2) let the light sensor turn it on and the timer will turn it off x hours later.

Basically this switch has 2 ons and offs. One on is moisture. And the second is a switch. So you can just turn it on with a button. The two offs are Time and a switch. So if you hit a button to turn it on, it would shut off when the timer ran out or when you hit the off button.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you can, though I've never actually done that. I always do off-on-off-on or rotating on between circuits. The instructions are a little hard to follow, so it's sort of trial and error, but the timer goes down to about a tenth of a second if your fingers are quick enough. Nice little controller.

I have used it by wiring in a water heater timer it works great shuts off completely when I don't want it heating and timer powers it up 1/2 hour before I want the area warmed up then the thermostat on the unit keeps it consistent from there until I have the timer set to de-energize that circuit.

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.
