Does auto restart mean that it will restart without intervention from us when power goes out and then comes back on? I own GE models that do that it if power is interuppted. Couldn't find the answer to this in a Keystone manual I downloaded. I got the...

Honesty I don't think so. Since my original review the energy saver is useless. I keep the remote next to my chair and I am constantly adjusting the thermostat up and down. The one thing is that it really blows cold air.

On my unit if the power plug gets pulled when it is on it comes back on. So if the unit is own a power strip and the power strip gets turned off the unit will power back up. I keep my unit on my desk but keep it powered off unless I need to use it.

Carolyn, the low oil shutdown feature is designed to ensure that the generator won't start in the event of a low oil condition. As mentioned by the previous commenter, the engine hour meter operates as he describes. If your question relates to is it a problem if the generator is placed on an unlevel floor or has been recently moved the auto low oil level feature could cause an auto shutdown. You must check the oil level before each use and keep the oil changed in accordance with the operating instructions schedule. A low oil level condition could lead to catastrophic engine damage. I hope this answer helps. Carolyn, the low oil shutdown feature is designed to ensure that the generator won't start in the event of a low oil condition.

It does not have an auto power on/off. I am not sure how much power it uses while idle. I don't have a way to measure it but I can say it have not noticed any difference in my electrical bill.

It goes into a standby mode, and the green light begins to go on and off, Indicating it needs to be refilled. In my opinion this is "auto shut off". But it may be consuming trace amounts of electricity. Minimal if any. It is a great feature.

Forgive me for having not answered in a more timely manner. Mine does not have an auto shut down. You just gotta remember to turn it off when you're done with it. Other than that, It's a great little unit for the price. I put mine on my KSG 12. Hope this helps...

It is true that this timer needs to be "reset" after a power outage. The reason is because it is hardwired to your electricity. But resetting is fairly simple and even if you can't get to it when you'd like, once the power comes on it will begin to cycle again from where it left off.

According to the manual, when the power comes back on, the clock will read "OFF" (as if one just plugged it in) and does not restart.

We have power interruptions here all the time. Mine comes on with the power, its the humidistat that would keep it from turning on immideately. Maybe that's where the confusion is.

Hi Eddie. Unfortunately, You will need to turn it back on yourself after a power outage. Have a great day!Vermin

Mine re-starts with the same adjusted shut-down settings. If I tweaked a setting while in a earlier saved program, the tweak also returns after power-cycling. There's a clear to "pre-set's" function that returns mine to the earlier saved fixed program settings. I went with another unit and can't recall the menu/page. Their customer service was helpful.

Your question is faulty. You first have to understand breakers and fuses. If power provided is cut off and comes back on it makes no difference. This only trips when there is a problem with what you are plugging in behind it. It's a portable highly sensitive circuit breaker built into a an outlet. If you trip this from what you have plugged into this it will need to be manually reset. It defeats the safety purpose of this if it was to automatically reset itself. You could restart a fire or sparking event instead of shutting one down. You would not want this to automatically reset itself. You could also re-shock yourself automatically if it automatically reset itself. There is a reason I am the 2A3 King. Your question is faulty. You first have to understand breakers and fuses.

This happened a couple of times to us. Pushed the reset button and it always starts back up. I thought it had something to do with our outlet...but maybe not. But the reset button always starts it right back up.

It's been quite awhile since I installed my timer and I don't remember now what number it was----but I know that it did take a back up battery. Are you sure your's does not? I've never seen one that didn't? But I suppose that it's possible that the newer models might use a system that won't dump your settings when the power goes off. I haven't researched your model number so I can't say one way or the other for certain.

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

We have not had to endure any sort of power outage since we installed the unit. However, I did unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plugged it back in and the unit restarted with the same settings it had displayed prior to unplugging it.
