I need to have a timer that can turn on for 15 minutes every hour. Does this do this?

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.

This is not am interval timer. It is an event timer with a weekly schedule. If you needed intervals between 8 AM and 8 PM daily it might work for you.

Yes it does. I use mine on my boat to turn on a bait tank aerator pump every day every 3 hours for 15 minutes at a time. It keeps my live bait in good condition. Its been installed for 3 weeks and it has worked flawlessly.

It has a self timer built in for one to three hours. It is not designed to come on every 30 minutes. Sorry.

Yes. Actually because it also has hours, when you set the timer you have to enter hrs., min., seconds, then start. ie: 00:00:30 to set for 30 seconds. Hope this helps.

No it should not matter if the 6 hr setting functions exactly the same way as the 5 & 15 min timers do. Most likely it does.

I would say sort of. There are a series of pins that circle the entire dial. Those pressed "in" turn it on, and off in places they are not pressed in. So, theoretically you could have it come on for 15 minutes every hour around the clock but I am not sure how precise the pins are, and how precise you need them to be. My guess would be that you could get it pretty darn close if "close" is good enough.

The dial on the timer goes from 0.......15.......30 etc. so yes you could set it for less than 15 mins. I have not tried this though. This little timer is well worth the money.

I doubt it. I would look into another timer. I bought 5 in order to get 1 that worked.

goto your settings, and check to see if you have automatic timer....turn off

Hello. This item was not for me, it was a gift. Apologies, but I do not know of any timer suitable for this product. Thanks.

Not sure if this timer will work for what you need. It is a 24 clock timer that you can set to come on and off in 5 minute intervals

It is designed to turn on and off by time of day, and does not have a countdown timer function. I suppose one could set it to turn off 30 minutes from the current time and it would do the job.

this definitely does that. It gives you adjustment down to 15 minutes. Others will do what you want, but this just gives you more flexibility down to every 15 minutes as opposed to half hour or hour intervals. I use this on my aguaponics setup and it runs for fifteen minutes on and forty five minutes off. You control the adjustment in fifteen minute intervals. This is the most amount of adjustment that i have seen from a timer that isn't digitally controlled.

I'm sorry. I don't know if it does. I don't have these automatic timers anymore, sold them with the home I left them with. Sorry I can't answer your question. I set timers for a certain time but not like your times. They worked well for me. Sorry I can't answer your question. :o/

This timer will not do it . Check with the electrical department at home depot or menards. They have a timer that can do what you want.

no you just plug it in and use it. However, you cannot use more than 15 minutes

If you press the timer control until you get 5 yellow lights, it will run for 30, then off for 15 minutes at a time. You can google the instruction manual and get all the time settings.

You can set it for how many hours you want it on, but will still go on and off with the sensor. Great little timer.
