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 want to control a gas fire place in a rental condo. I like the max 4 hr setting but I dont like the on/off overide That defeats the timer control
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can this timer be use for a bathroom heater
Answer:	I’m always able to make returns when I purchase anything on amazon. If you’re return date has closed try calling them and explain the situation, they’re always helpful.
Question:	How does the manual over ride work if I want the timer to not be used? Can it be set as the default
Answer:	There is a top to this soda can organizer and you can easily stack two rows of cans and the top fits nicely. However, I find the top to loose fitting to place another on top. I do use the top to place light or small items, like yogurts, some leftovers that have been placed in ziplocs. Nothing heavy.
Question:	What is the vampire load of this unit when in standby mode? Supposedly it has to "charge up" - does it do that all the time? What's the trickle load
Answer:	I haven't tried putting it in the dishwasher. I wouldn't buy this organizer again, in fact I'm thinking looking for a replacement. The cover WILL NOT stay on it! I may try to install some hardware to keep it on but, it is absolutely no good if you expect a cover on it.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many watts can this unit handle? (Can it handle a 1500W heater, for example
Answer:	You CAN use this for a space heater if you're careful. If you do it wrong, you could start a fire as someone else stated. Regarding safety, if you're looking at the amazon ad for the 26892 model, the electrical limits are listed as 125V 50/60 Hz, 15A 1875W General Purpose/Resistive, 10A 1250W Tungsten, 1/2HP. The main thing is to make sure you don't exceed the amps and watts limits for the total load. Note, when you see tungsten, think conventional incandescent or halogen lights. Note that the limits for those are lower. All parts of the chain of devices from the outlet through the timer and any extensions must be able to support the maximum load you'll draw. So, if the outlet, and the timer, and the extension (if any) can safely provide enough power to the space heater, then it can work. The heater would probably have to be the only thing on the breaker that serves the outlet, and the only thing on the timer, and must draw less than the 1875W stated above.
Question:	Mine isn't working. i set current time, then custom on/off...led blue lights come on next to buttons. nothing works that i plug into it...is it me
Answer:	You will have to wait until next day for it to turn on. It does not apply the setting until the time passes it. It is a stupid implementation.
Question:	Can two buttons be selected so it is on from 5-12pm and 5-8am
Answer:	The way you worded your question, the answer is yes. You can use multiple features at once. There are three preset time intervals you can use, morning, evening, and all night. There is a 4th custom on and off time you can set. So, if you activate morning, evening, and custom, you could have 3 separate intervals where the load runs every day. Activating morning, evening, and all night will give a slightly different time period than just all night. If you activate countdown, you could have a 4th interval which would run once. So, if the preset time intervals work for you, you can have 2 preset intervals and one custom interval all running every day. But you cannot have multiple automatic custom intervals.
Question:	can you preset an amount of time, say "4 Hours" then when you want it to countdown, just push the countdown button and it shuts off after 4 hours
Answer:	The short answer is yes. 1. You set your time.2. choose your programmed time (they have 3 preset times)3. You can press the countdown then choose any time from 1 minute to 24 hours, hit the countdown, and it will go off automatically after the amount of time you chose for the countdown.4. you also can choose the manual override to turn it on or off manually at anytime.The only thing I do not like about this unit is you can not choose your own times for it to go on and off. You have to use one of their 3 preset times. You can use the countdown feature for any amount of time you want, (1 minute- 24 hours), but you would have to re-set the amount of time you want it to count down, each time you use it. I hope that helps. if you have any other question, please don't hesitate to ask.Mary
