Can I use this to cycle power, eg: 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off?

Yes, it is an A, B timer, which means you set the A and the B time and it will turn on/off for A seconds and off/on for B seconds. You can cycle between A and B or just one shot mode. There are Gate and Reset pins to enable timing and resetting the timing. The A output (active during A time) has a NO (Normally Open) and a NC connection. The B output only has a NO connection.

Yes, you can. If you have trouble configuring it, let me know. Thanks, Scott

You can choose to have it on continuously (until shut the power off) OR you can choose to have it run for 10 (?) seconds and then off for 10 (?) seconds (until you shut the power off). I wish you could set it to run for 20 minutes, off for 40, back on, etc. or to run for a period of time and then just shut off, but it doesn't work like that.

You can't set it to turn on at a certain time, unfortunately. You can set it to run for a specified amount of time and then it will shut itself off.

You can control this by using a PID, an SSR with a PWM circuit, or a SSR-V, which is an SSR to which you can just connect a potentiometer to control its on/off state. The element itself is either on or off, but using one of those options you are basically cutting power in and out to the element at set intervals (which may be on the order of milliseconds or up to seconds at a time, depending on which you use). I use an SSR-V and a potentiometer only, and it works great. I can basically turn it full on or full off, or anywhere in between. If I were doing it again, I'd use a PID, and I probably will upgrade soon.

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

There is a small sliding button on the face of the timer. The choices are "on" and "timer" Move the button to "timer" and the timer will be activated. The "on" position will give continuous power instead of off an on timer power.

Yes to both. In the menu you can set Power On Record to On or Off. There is also a Record Overwrite menu item that you can set to 1 minute, 5 minutes or NO.

I used mine as a delayed start for a fan on an offroad vehicle. I believe this also works in a way that you can time how long you want power on then it will shut off. It will adjust from 1 second to hours..... No manual so you will have to do some figuring out yourself.

You can modify it to do seconds too. See this post: http://ohmyclegg.blogspot.com/2013/07/chicago-electric-digital-timer-hack.html

Yeah you can set the gap that you want to power to switch on and off between in celcius. As low as 0.5 celcius gap.

I do not believe a timer would work with this item.When it comes back on after losing power it stays in the off position.

It won't by itself. I think you can set like 23 different on/off settings. The shortest time interval is a minute though. I attached a separate timer that turns on for 11 seconds to feed fish in a tank every two days. This timer actuates the other timer that then runs a motor for a specific amount of time. It was a HeroNeo® 12v Home Automation Delay Timer Control Switch Module Digital Display LED.

No, you have to manually hit the switch. Even if you hook it to a timer, I don't think it would work. Once the cycle is finished, it stays in the on position, and the manual states if you need to run it twice, turn off for 10 seconds to reset it.

yes this timer can be used for that type of operation although it would require the use of another relay this is probably not best suited application

Yes. It can be programmed to do that. It has several programs, so you can set multiple on/off times. The instructions were clear to me.

Sure you can wire it to between battery and load. To monitor the amp hours your using.

Hello. This is a consumer grade thermostat so it does not allow for cycles per hour. You can set the the turn on or off point to be 1-3 degrees.
