Yes, This is a simple 24 hour clock timer. I wouldn't bother for short power interruptions but for long outages you should check time every once and awhile. You also need to adjust for daylight savings time twice a year.

Yes. There is a switch on the side labeled "ON" and "TIMER". You choose the position "ON" if you want the outlet to remain on.

If you lose power will not come on when power is restored. Never used the timer feature.

No, the power switch is a dial, so it would be on the same setting when the power comes back on.

Yes every time it is powered off, you'll have to reset it all - from the clock, to the feedings.times/amounts.

It depends is the outlet on a timer or are you going to manually cut the power to the lock.

Yes, in fact one of the way you can start a timer sequence is by powering it on.

Yes. Word of warning...if the power goes out, you will need to reset the timer. Also, this product lasted about one year and died on me. Did not replace with another. Went to Lowes and bought one that is digital and has battery backup ($25) seems to work great, but time will tell

Yes. That is the whole purpose of having a timer. You can set it for the number of hours desired then forget it.

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.

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.

I am not sure. We do reset it each time that we use it, I needed a 24 hour timer and that is about all that we use it for and each time we use it we set it for the exact time that we need.

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 !

I have this hooked up to a server and when the power goes out, this unit doesn't. There is no time lost (so far).

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

Yes, so long as the power stays on it retains its clock and timer settings. The batteries are only to preserve settings in case of a power outage.
