Is the power indicater light suppose to come on when unit is plugged in or only when temperature goes below 38?

The power light comes one when the unit turns on at approximately 38 degrees.

The power indicator light comes on below 38 degrees F. Because this unit controls the power to the battery heater for a generator, I annually check its viability by putting the unit into the freezer for about 30 minutes, then removing it from the freezer, plugging it into an electrical outlet, and watching the power indicator light come on as it warms up.

I have never seen a light but it has worked faithfully for several years. Check it at the first freeze to be sure it turns on but i have never seen it fail and it has been outdoors in the weather all the time.

Robert, According to tech support, the indicator light will only come on when power is being supplied to the cable by the thermostat at 38 degrees or less. So in simple terms only when it goes below 38. Hope this helped. Have a great day! Chris B

Hmmm, not sure. First season using it at seasonal home and when I plugged it in, it came on, but it was below 38.

haven't touched it for a couple of years - other foks doing that now for HOA - but my best guess is light comes on when plugged in - I always check to see if on first really cold evening just to be sure - we use these with work lights on exposed plumbing under sinks in unheated pool restrooms -- beat the plumbing bills for frozen pipes.

This works by temperature. When the temp gets to your min/max, the outlet cuts the power. You need to know your working temp. The specs. will determine if it can work at a low enough temp.

Each time the unit is powered off, when powered back on (which you need to do manually), it starts off at 75 degrees. You then need to adjust it to your preferred setting.

Both. On/off and heat dial from 1-30. Doesn't indicate the degrees, though.

ours is at least a few yrs old. there is a 'power on' light but it only indicates if the unit is 'on' or 'off' there is no different light for warm, med, hi, that just has a dial knob, Capish??

The power light (nearest the cord) is on if power is connected and on. The status light (between the receptacles) is only on when the receptacles are powered on via the remote.

Yeah, a light comes on, indicating that the unit isn't working as intended.

I found that when using the plug in thermostat that it does not come on, or turn off at the temperatures stated in the instructions. I comes on at a lower temperature than 38 degrees. When it is on, the light in the thermostat lights up. I think the instructions that come with the unit could be a little clearer. There is no way to adjust the temperature range. I use the thermostat in my RV trailer during the winter to turn on a heat lamp to keep a critical area above freezing. Hope this helps

Mine does have a indicator light . it shuts off when it reaches temp and on again to reach temp

The light is always on for me also, never noticed it to get much above slightly warm. However mine is mounted in a fairly open area so may just cool itself easier.

Yep. It indicates that the unit is powered up. When the temp drops, the heat and fan start up.

I would ensure that the light on the on off switch is on, and if not I would check that the power cord is plugged in to the unit properly and an ac outlet, and that there is in fact power at the ac outlet. Johnnie

If you set it to 73, it should turn off when the ambient temperature is 75. The temperature you see on the display when you're not adjusting it is supposed to be the room temperature. I do know from personal experience that this heater has a lot of problems and is not one that I would buy again.

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

It is not powered so I guess it is operated by heat or cold weather? Good luck!

Make sure you do not have it inserted in the neutral prong of the receptacle or it will not show voltage. You should always test it on something you know is hot first to make sure It is working before you rely on it

I'm also having the same issue with 2 888LM's keeping the lights on constantly. They didn't seem to do it when first installed but nowall the time. I'm wondering if they get more sensitive during colder temperatures.I've turned the motion detection off for now unfortunately.
