I want a timer to open and close the doors 4 times in 24 hrs. You advertise 6 cycles, Does that mean open is one and closing would be another one? If

It will allow 12v power to pass through for up to 30 seconds 6 times a day..... So if the doors can open and close in 30 seconds then it will do that 6 times.

I am not sure if you can program 6 times per hour and my equipment isn't available to me at this time. I will try to remember to review the manual and get back to you, I would keep looking as I think this unit wouldn't give that many setting. I have three of these times and they are great.Steve

It only has 6 or 8 different timers. For example: You want it on at 2 the next setting it asks is the off time so for 10 mins you put in 2:10 so then it'll be on for 10 mins automatically. But you can only set up the times you want on for 6 or 8 times I can't remember for sure but no you cant make it run for 2 mins every 20 mins it doesn't have enough time spaces to be set like that. Hopefully that all made sense and can help you make a decision on a timer. I love mine and I'm using it with a hydroponic pump also

Let's see; one minute on, then one minute off is about 60-events over one hour, times 24 equals 1440 events. If I figured that correctly, then this switch cannot be programmed for that. You can program 8-different events over 1-week, or 1-day, or several days but no more than a week. Even at 1-day, you can only program 8-events.

It's been a few weeks since I read the manual. My best recollection is that it has 31(?) "transition" times per 24 hour period that you can program into it. A transition is from off to on, or from on to off. To do this for 24 hours would require 48 transition times. So, I guess the answer is no. You could use 2 of them with the contacts connected in series. Program 1 unit for 12 hours of transitions, and the other unit for the other 12 hours. ***REVISION*** OK, I just looked at the manual, and it has 17 on/off transitions, NOT 31. So you would need 3 of these connected in series if you want 24-hour operation of on/off every 15 minutes.

No. It will not do 24 on-off cycles per day. The limit is 8. Also it has a minimum on time of 1 minute.

You guys are really missing something simple. The garage door opener knows where it is because it has an encoder inside the unit that counts how many times it rotates past an electronic eye. It know the direction it is moving as well. So when you close it, it starts at 0 rotations and when you open it, it knows it takes 700 (pick a number) rotations to reach full open. Rinse and repeat. You guys crack me up with having to install it while the door is closed. These can be adjusted slightly (probably a foot either way) with the side knobs but not infinitely. How did you think the garage door opener knew when to stop when it was open, or when to stop before slamming into the ground? You guys are really missing something simple.

No. This timer repeats it's cycle every 24 hours. Each hour is devided into 4 - 15 minute segments, and each segment may be programmed to be on or off.

There's a set of 3 buttons on the right, those are for each of the 3 timers. The single button you see on the left in the picture sets the clock. It's as simple as you'd hope it would be. By the way, I use this pretty much every day -- this morning I used two of the timers to time some baking chicken while another timed the hash browns. Seldom to I find myself using all 3 timers at once, but it's sure handy when I do. And I find myself using 2 of the timers at once on a frequent basis.

I understand, than the timer will start from down for a number of hours you will choose. The number off hours is choose by the number of time you press the ''timer'' button.

No, you can not program this to open and close that frequently. It has more like 7 different ON/Off events.

I set as many timers as I need and then I activate them one at a time or in seriatim or all at the same time. I am not certain this answers your question.

Yes, you can keep the door open in two ways. You can set a preset time to close the door from three minutes up to a maximum of 60 minutes. The second method is to press the hold button, which will keep the door open indefinitely, but will close the door when the interior garage gets dark (i.e. at sunset) I hope this helps.

I think it only has eight events. On and off, 8 times in 24 hours. If I understand your question the answer would be no because you have to put a "time into it... "3:oopm. You need something that "cycles"

No, this is not a programmable or repeating timer. It only counts down to shutoff based on the duration you choose each time you turn it on. For on and off settings repeated daily, look for the simple round model with a perimeter of pegs representing half-hours.

Yes. I change about once a year, but be careful to check out if the Timer works. My last purchase of 8 units resulted in one not working. I didn't send it back because it just wasn't worth the trouble...and this is not the first time that I had the same problem. Talking everything into consideration...I really like these timers. FAR BETTER than several others I have purchased.

The timer is a rotary timer. It ticks down to 0 and then opens. You will have to re-set the timer (ie spin the dial to the appropriate time delay) each time.
