Don't buy this piece of shit timer

THIS THING SUCKS DONKEY BALLS!!!! IT WONT LET YOU USE THE AUTO FUNCTION!!! OFF/ON WORKS, RANDOM WORKS, BUT SET IT TO AUTO AND IT JUST RUNS AND RUNS...NOT SO HOT ON A FLOOD AND DRAIN TABLE

I have one, works fine despite the manual being almost unreadable from horrible chinese translations. sorry forgot to mention i am using the auto cycle try, returning yours for a diff one.

the english instructions are online.....i guess i got a dudd! sucks

Are you putting more then 1kw through it? cause i heard that causes problems with em.

no, just a single 396 gph submersible pump for one of my flowering tables....wierd huh?

yeah i would demand a switch or return that bitch for all my money cause mine works.

i'd have it replaced. i use three of them, have had them forever, and they work wonderfully.

right on...ya i shouldn't bash em like that, i knew it was a dud but damn it pissed me off! i just transplanted all my aeroclones into their new home and plugged up the pump....then it went south. i'm not usually so quick to down a product but i'm out of weed and mad at the world....sorry for being a bit of a dick. i'm sure it's a fine product

ya the price was right

Nah man it's cool the point of posting is to find out if your experience mirrors that of the general pop, and now that you know if you return it you have a chance at least you aren't up the creek without a paddle. if you know what I am saying, cause they really are good timers, the ability to schedule events is like the best. Anyway I ramble, GL when you return it hopefully you don;t hit a dud again.

I have 1 of those in my system. I thought the same thing after I turned it on auto the first time. Nothing happened it just burned steady, however after leaving it for 24 hours on auto, it reset itself and has never missed an ignition or power off since...2 1/2 yrs running. Good luck

Shit if it's working don't mess with it, I admit it took me a while of fooling with mine as well to get it to work but I don't remember it actually not ever working right. Oh well Good to hear GROW ON

I have that same exact timer on my 1,000 watt HPS light, it has been working great for about a year and a half.

Are you sure you do not have it set up wrong? With that one, I am thinking you have to go ON, then Auto, then OFF, the Auto and it works. but if you go On the Auto it just runs.

Not sure, it has been a long time. I know that once I had it where it was not working correctly, and I had to fiddle with it. Seems like all my digital timers work like this.

In other words there are two Auto settings. You need to scroll through until you hit the second one.

Also, make sure it is set for 7 days a week, because you can set it to only run on certain days.

PS the Auto is not showing because it is hidden behind the flash.

ok tardzilla, the prob was solved a while back i was just wondering about the battery....have you had to change yours ?

and stop estalking me....creepy

Did not see your last post. Glad you got it working. As for the battery,, Hmmmm. I have never changed my battery at all. I think the battery is for power outages, so it will not lose its program and time.
