Does this timer lose programming when dosconnected from power source?

It does NOT lose programming if all you're doing is swapping batteries. As long as you don't take two or three days to change it out, you should be ok.
1690916
No it will keep on time long enough to change out a weak battery for a charged battery. In addition this control unit is user friendly.
1690917
Same as keeping time, it allows ample to for battery changes. Without having to lose programing.
1690918
No but looses the time unless you very quick at reconnecting it. I always check my programing after changing a battery and it has not changed but until yesterday I have always had to reset time. I changed the battery yesterday and the time remained on so I guess I was quicker than normal.
1690919
Yes it will. But you have time to change the battery out and still not have to reset timer.

No, but in the event of a power outage, it stores the programming for later. (No need to re-program.)

The timer runs on the power provided at the receptacle it's plugged into. The timer will stop any time the power goes off, since it has no internal mechanism to keep it running. When the power comes back on, the timer will start up again, but its setting will be off by the amount of time the power was off. To maintain the appliance ON/OFF times you want, you will need to reset the timer dial to the correct time every time there has been a significant power interrupt.

Not sure. For me I have my home theater receiver connected to it and it turns off other devices. Check and see if there is a minimum load that has to be on the control socket. It is sensing the change in current

If your timer does not have a battery back-up, then you would need to program the correct time again. The feeder will still feed once the power comes back on, it will just feed at a different time but the same amount as you set.

The motor that drives the timers clock needs power all the time. If the power is interrupted for a period of time the clock will stop and timer will be off the same amount of time the power was off. Check to see if the power that feeds the timer is on a switch that maybe turns on a light someplace in the house you maybe turning off and on the power that feeds the timers clock. Good Luck

Hi Steve. No, there is no programming available on this unit. I was going to suggest an appliance timer but I think that after the power to the unit was disconnected it would not come on by default when the timer restored power. Hope this helps

No, when your electricity goes out, you need to reset your timer. Easy finger adjustment.

It just plugs into a standard outlet. You cannot program it for anything other than the times shown. It is a simple button push to move from onesetting to the next. It is not a repeating timer either. It completely shuts off when it times out.

It's been sometime since I connected my timer. However, the instructions are pretty clear how to connect the wiring. Instructions are also available on the Intermatic website. as far as programming, that too is easy with the help of the instructions. Once the timer is programmed it can run for years without needing to be reset barring a dead battery.

along with your power wire to the timer, the one on the very left. Attach a jumper wire there & run it over to the next to last pin on the right. hook the rest up like the instructions say. It doesn't tell you to do it this way but it will fix your problem !

not 100% sure but the unit does not work without anything plugged into it. The timer functions when something is plugged into it. With nothing plugged in, there's nothing to turn on and off. Might want to contact the manufacturer. BTW, mine is working great. Using it to turn a pond pump off/on throughout the day to save on electricity. I know that doesn't answer your question but thought I'd throw it in anyway :)))

YES and suggest a GFI circuit. Remember to reset the "clock portion" if you have power outages.

No. You need to manually change and/or set with changes at months' end, time change or loss of power.

i haven't had a power outage yet, however after programming and setting the clock, everything is retained despite unplugging the unit

If you want it off at specific times you can attach it to a cheap timer you can get in any harddware store for a few bucks. The reason you can do that with this unit is that i has an automatic power interruption/restoration restart feature. External timers are equivalent to power failure, and most brands stay off after interrupted power comes back - not this one. The timer built in selects short intervals for round clock on-off, which is not what you want.
