How can I tell if I have the "second generation" version of the 50009 timer that CCI says has been reengineered to address the resetting issue?

Upon reading some of the reviews one guy stated:" The updated units "second gen" have a purple dot on the back, whereas the older ones have no dot. That's how you can see if yours are of the old design."I assume he means a puple dot on the back of the actual unit.This makes me feel very uneasy as mine does not have the purple dot... gah, heres to hoping.

Not sure how you can tell. All I can report is that the one I bought works perfectly. I am using it to switch about a 12 amp item, an electric towel warmer, and it has never lost its program. There were some other reviews saying something about power sources in different parts of the US may have surges etc. that causes the problem, font know. I live in Birmingham AL, Alabama power division of Southern Company is the utility, no problems.

Yes, James, the timer settings do remain in memory, however, if you are in need of a timer that lasts beyond a year I'd give it a pass.

I do not have the model numbers memorized. The biggest thing that I have trouble with on this newer model timer is that there is no top knock out so if you are mounting on a round pole you can not mount them both on the same surface and this requires a lot of adjusting. This model as did the older ones I am replacing were 24 hour single day timers. This new model only has connection holes on the side and the bottom. If that is not a problem and you need a 24 hour timer it will work fine.

The digital timer will still work properly. That actually happened recently and I had the same concern, but no problem.

Time to buy a new timer. Cheaper to replace than repair. Stick with old style timer, not newer digital timer

Yes. Soon as you hit start/stop it will reset. (I have not let it run to stop).. Still have to hit Start again. Hitting clear allows setting a new time.

I had the exact same problem, Called their customer service dept. The agent was RUDE and not helpful. I sent the timer to the company to the attention of the president in late October with a letter explaining the problem. Have heard nothing. NO letter, no replacement,. Nothing. I bought two...one I returned, and one I installed and that one will not keep the program. JUNKY products. give up and buy something else. Company does not stand by their products.

I never found a reset. I gave this product two tries, both times they did not work, so I had to give it a bad rating.

Our dryer had the same model number listed as what is on the timer.Found the paperwork inside the control panel.

My first timer didn't do anything strange and is working very well. The second one I bought did something weird, similar to what you're describing but I can't remember exactly what it was. This second one has not worked correctly since the day I got it. It's on the same table as my wireless phone and whenever I put the phone back in the holder the timer loses it's programming. Too much trouble to return and get a new one so I live with it.

The newer versions of this timer have an internal rechargeable battery that can't be replaced but they never updated the user sheet. If you are having problems with the timer resetting by itself, failure to turn off, failure for the screen to show a time, or similar, you need to return the timer. Out of six of these I have bought only two have worked at all - don't buy this timer. Load doesn't matter since even a single strand LED light string still won't work.

I wired mine backwards first try. Worked fine until the timer triggered it off, then there was no power for the clock to continue. I just swapped the load wires, and it worked fine.

Hi! Only replace your timer with the same model/serial number that you actually have. I'm not a pro, I don't know which other could work as the one you own,but you must keep the same model! and yeah... you could vary the serial, it will work, but with some deficiencies! Better safe than sorry, match model/serial for accurate replacement. Good luck!

Without more info it is hard to know what you are referring to. You should remove the battery and then reinstall to see if the unit resets... I have been using mine since Oct 2013 with no issues.

Actually, many of the reviews appear to be for the Belkin Energy Monitor F7C005, not the switch or the timer shown on this page. It wasn't like this a year ago.
