Can you help me out? Does this unit turn on and off by itself in a regular repeating pattern once 12vdc has been supplied?

Nope, it opens or closes a circuit for a adjustable amount of time when power is applied to the vcc terminal. You need a pulse module.

mine did NOT come with schematic or documentation of any kind. I would NOT expect it to operate a low current relay, the output will only trigger a logic level signal in the very low milliamp range. 0-5vdc

Regardless of whether there is an on/off switch I would suggest unplugging the unit when not being used for an extended period. This is a 120VAC unit and should be plugged into a receptacle rather than being hard wired.

The seller's answer should be taken as definitive. Anecdotally, my installation is not on a dedicated circuit, but the other members of the circuit are either outlets or efficient lighting. I've had my unit in service for over 6 months with no issues to speak of. Enjoy!

No, this is just a delay (timer) relay. You need 12v DC program-able digital timer. See amazon link for example part that can do what you want it to do for you.uxcell DC 12V Digital LCD Power Programmable Timer Time Switch Relay 10A

Bad connection??I haven't had this happen. Been using the gauges about 2 years now.If voltage is right around the cutoff of 4.5V I suppose it could blink on/off as the voltage hovers around that point. Gauge puts a tiny load on system so volts would drop, then without the load V would increase again over 4.5V so it would light up again, and the cycle would repeat.

I have no idea. But I do no that when energized its just a one way switch. When no power is sent to it it defaults to its de energized position.

Yes, it goes on, then turns off after a specified period. As far as turning it off completely, I do that from the wall switch that controlled the light that was previously there, I'm not sure there is a way to do it from the light.

That one stumped me too. Nothing in the instructions, although they do mention 12 VDC for that wire somewhere in a diagram. The instructions were horrible, and the thing never powered on. I returned it and got a refund. My suggestion is you do the same.

Yes. I have several amps connected to the Belkin, and they delayed in a staggered fashion so as not to turn on all at once.

Yes - the output voltage is 12 VAC (not 12 VDC as a previous answer stated). But one of the other commenters was correct about the min load. When you just hook up the transformer and test the output without a load, it will read zero, or close to it. I thought the product was broken at first, but one I connected the load, all was well. It's been functioning great since (about 5 months ago).

Yes mine too does the same too, but when you switch off the power supply it totally goes off.

I plugged it into an outlet that is controlled by a switch. It came back on automatically when I switched it on and off. I'm guessing that means that it will also turn on automatically after a power failure.

Mine does the same. It is just to indicate a full charge and will turn off eventually. The power used to use that LED is so minimal it has little to no effect on the power stations battery.

Yes, mine has been running for a year or two now with several power outages; restarts automatically.

It will only work "once" if the "once" is severe. Before I had one installed, I lost a control unit on a power vent and a motion sensor due to "dirty" power. It has been 9 years since I first installed it and it still glows green indicating it is working. The control unit and other direct wired electronics have also functioned fine. Our power (in rural area) goes out quite often (almost weekly) so it has paid for itself many time over I'm guessing. I also have a home generator and it seems to dampen the surges that occurs when we need to switch to the generator as well. It will only work "once" if the "once" is severe.

Mine is on all the time. I think it just means the circuitry is working correctly to let you know it's available if needed.
