Could this heater be used with an outlet on a timer? Would the heater start running when it had power or would it then have to be turned on?

We do not recommend plugging your heater into anything that is not approved by the Holmes® Brand such as timers. The reason for this is due to the amount of electricity used by heaters, which may be greater than what the timer is designed for.

It needs to be plugged in to an outlet to run but there is no on/off button. Once it has power, it is on

If I understand your question there are a couple of ways to do this. Since the timer is going to power the relay there will be no issue with amperage draw. The relay doesn't draw appreciable current, it's just a relay. One way to proceed is to install the timer "upstream" of the lighted switch. In this approach you wire the timer into your 12 volt system (remember a fuse or breaker and check the ampacity of the wire) your timer becomes the source of power to the lighted switch and in turn the relay. Of course the heavy load that your relay controls remains wired as it always has been. Should you wish to shut down the heater for a long time you can simply turn off the lighted switch and ignore the timer. A second approach would be to remove the lighted switch entirely and simply use the timer as the power source for your relay. Again just for the switching, not for the load. These timers can be programed but they also have a manual function so you can over ride the programming and turn your heater on manually should you choose.

Yes the heater can be turned off or on during the run cycle without unplugging it. Heater is activated by pushing the center button. A light around the button indicates when it is on or off.

Sure, just be sure that you're not daisy-chaining the timer from another power strip or something similar. Also be sure the space heater has some kind of tipover switch so if something happens when it's unattended you don't burn down your home.

No, it will turn on with motion and then go off after a preset time of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, minutes. Not for big loades like heaters, fans.

It requires a constant 12v but only draws current to run the timer, which is minimal. I don't guess I understand the question. I don't know how it could be hooked up without a constant power supply. The timer is hooked in-line between te battery and the item needing to be turned on and off. I use it to control a solar heater. It comes on and turns off at a predetermined time.

Yes you could use a timer (best to check it can handle 1500 watts or 700 High or low setting) .. you could with this model. will not reset when turned off

As long as you have a way to reset it. It is a time delay on relay so when it gets power it does not turn on the load until the time selected delay is meet. You would need 2 timers and a relay with N.O. and N.C. contacts to make the circuit work.

Without power the timer doesn't work. You would have to reset it like a clock.

I've only tried the timer with a Lamp; but I don't think it should be a problem using a device that uses an AC adapter as long as it doesn't draw too much power/amps. The timer is a 2-prong device, so you'll need to connect 2 prong devices to it.

no it can't but you can plug the power cord in to it all of the breakers need to be flipped in the off position you then you can run some of it like outlets refrigerator or one a/c by it self.the a/c will run for 45 min. on 4 250 AH batters that it then it off.

this heater uses 110 volt outlet. It's no different then plugging in any other appliance. So I wouldn't think you would have to have an electrician look at it unless you have old wiring or something that you're worried about. For peace of mind I was just plug it into a breaker bar just to be safe.

No this water heater needs to be plugged into an outlet to work, so if the power is out then its useless. If you are looking for one that might work in a power outage try the bosch line. I had an older model bosch that didn't require electricity to operate.

Hi Carol: I would say that you would have to turn the heater back on but I'm not sure because I have not been in a power outage since I have owned it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The heater will come back on with the settings that you have set when the power goes off and comes back on. I think this is a great heater but I couldn't keep mine because it was damaged/defective.

Yes you can plug to a electric timer. It will be shut down automatically . But it won't be automatically back to normal mode after unplugging then plugging back. You have to use controller to power it on. Hope it helps.
