User questions & answers

Question:	How many Watts does the unit itself consume
Answer:	According to the technical details on the product description page , this timer consumes a fairly high 1725 watts. However, when I checked a number of comparable digital timers, I found similarly high levels of wattage ranging from 1000w to 1850w. I find this very surprising since these timers have an LCD display and no motor like their mechanical counterparts. By way of comparison, my mechanical timers consume 1750w.
Question:	can this be used to turn off my router every three days ? sometimes it needs to be reset when I am out of town. It would need to be off for 1 minute
Answer:	Yes, you can set the time to turn off for 1 minute then turn on. For example, you can set it turn off on 4:00am wed, then turn on 4:01am wed.
Question:	It looks like You can plug 2 different items into the timer, can you also set 2 different times for both plugs
Answer:	No, this timer runs both outlets via the same program. We do have a timer that has two outlets with separate controls, which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Century-Heavy-Digital-Programmable-Outlet/dp/B071KXV73N/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Question:	For a standard 2-receptacle outlet, does this timer obscure the unused receptacle
Answer:	if you use the top receptacle the bottom one will be free. if you plug the timer into the bottom receptacle the top receptacle will be covered.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the current and wattage rating of this timer's outlet
Answer:	125 VAC, 60 Hz 15A Resistive 1250W tungsten 1/2 hp motor direct from the back of the packaging
Question:	Doe this limit a three way bulb lamp to only the lowest 30 watt vs setting lamp to 70 watt or 100 watt
Answer:	The timer just switches power to the lamp, so the three way bulb will run at whatever wattage the switch on the lamp is set to.
Question:	How many timers can you set
Answer:	As many as you want. Every half hour has a tab. You put the tab up for "on" and down for "off", if you wanted to, you could have the lights go on and off every half hour all day long. I set the Christmas lights to go on in the morning while I am getting ready, then go off, then come on again at supper time, and off at midnight. I have tried just about every type of timer out there, and this one is the simplest by far, and my favorite. I probably have 15 of them turning lights on and off throughout the house. My 10 year old can set it no problem.
Question:	We are unable to push the gray buttons down! What are we doing wrong
Answer:	make sure all gray buttons are pulled all the way up

User questions & answers

Question:	I can not plug my lamp plug into the timer does not go all the way in Stops half way into the timer outlet
Answer:	The Fosmon timer 24 hour timer has two male prongs that attaches the timer to your wall outlet. If your lamp will plug into that wall outlet it should plug the timer outlet. If there is a problem with the timer outlet, you could use the second timer to check the outlet of the first timer to see if that outlet might be damaged. When doing this be sure the timer is “NOT PLUGED” into to the wall outlet.
Question:	Does this timer accept appliances with a ground plug? I cannot find a single photo of where it plugs in
Answer:	Both the female (to the appliance) and male (to the wall) plugs are two-prong polarized connectors. There is not a third, ground prong on either connection.
Question:	Is there a 12 hour (twice daily) cycle? I need plant lights on and off morning and evening
Answer:	you can have 12 hr or 24 hour so if you put the clock on a 12 hr cycle you should be able to have 2 on off cycles in a 24 hr period. Just not able to have more than one on off in a 12 hr period.
Question:	can you use with a crockpot
Answer:	Yes. Crockpots are a resistive load. This item is rated 15A resistive. All the crockpots I've seen are much less wattage; much less than even 500W.
