I have an ART-DNe timer that will not shut off. What am I doing wrong?

Invest in a new one. That seems to be an issue with this timer. It's a great timer though and worth the investment.

Before you buy a new one (they're not cheap), contact the distributor/manufacturer about any warranty that might cover your situation. There known issues Sounds like you just got this model. recently.

I set mine on "timer" and then switched it to "on". It worked for a while but about half of my timers wouldn't hold the actual time so they wouldn't come on at the right time.

The motor that drives the timers clock needs power all the time. If the power is interrupted for a period of time the clock will stop and timer will be off the same amount of time the power was off. Check to see if the power that feeds the timer is on a switch that maybe turns on a light someplace in the house you maybe turning off and on the power that feeds the timers clock. Good Luck

I have never tried to shut it off, it just keeps resetting itself at midnight.

try pulling the black pin out of the timer and re-insert it to see if this will help.

This is tough to answer because they just released a firmware update that has a timer. You should try contacting Brinno to see if this will work with the new timer feature.

It just shuts off after the time chosen. Directions say it needs a period of cool down time, too

Make sure you have the proper input selected, usb/eSata, otherwise if it detects no input it will shut down automatically within 10 seconds

When you use the timer it turns off automatically. You probably used the "on" position not the timer.

I have had that same problem myself. I found out that it goes off for about an hour.

While it measures it won't shut off but if there's no activity it will shut of after 60 seconds

There is a timer on the unit. Make sure it has been turned off. If it isn't it will shut off before it reaches 50.... I know you said it runs longer and still doesn't drop down to 50. Make sure you read instructions and check all settings. I had this problem in the beginning... I had to read the booklet again.... Hope this helps Mine works great

Agree with Patski - no way to shut it off. There's also NO NEED to shut it off, so it's not your fault. The display is just a small LCD and like many other LCD displays around your house or on on your wrist, it uses very little power and so is designed to stay on all the time. And I'll bet you've seen just about every similar LCD device you've ever owned lasts one year, two years, often longer on one small battery. Therefore, you first thought (bad battery) is 99% sure to be the right diagnosis. That leaves two choices: either buy a new battery or send the timer back to Amazon or to Polder under their one-year warranty. However, Polder charges shipping for warranty returns, which makes it a bad option, since a new battery is less expensive than the cost of shipping. Getting a new battery is also a quicker solution (you won't have to wait six weeks). If you replace the battery and the device still does not work perfectly or again runs down quickly, there is something else seriously wrong with the construction. Patski also mentioned having bought a replacement timer from Amazon and that one did not work at all. I mentioned in my earlier review of the Polder that you can't trust Polder products purchased online because if they do not work it's not practical or economical to have to return them. (I bought three and all three were defective.) So I suggested for this kind of timer to go to a local store and buy another brand instead, something you can test right there in the store. Now I'd add, for not just Polder products, but for any brand of cheap timer from Amazon or any other online source, it's better to buy them locally UNLESS the online store has a rock solid return policy or a warranty that covers shipping. Even then it may not be worth the trouble of having to pack it and ship it. Finally, since these kinds of cheap timers are readily available everywhere, there's no need to go online at all! That's my three cents!

Press the botton used to select the amount of time for it to stay on. If you can't reach the outlet you might be better off with a regular light timer set to turn on and off by itself.

I've never set the timer, and it will run until it is out of water and automatically shut off.

It has to be reset every time you use it. It counts down to zero from wherever you set it. If you set it for 20 minutes it shuts off after twenty minutes. It's a great little timer for the price! I have had mine for 3 years and they're still working perfectly. I take them inside for the winter.

Hi Larseroo . The capacity of the timer to shut off after 4.5 hours of charging time has been integrated to the device itself and the rule cannot be edited.
