Will this unit allow me to have the unit turn on and off for more than one period per day? ie, on for 4h, off for 4h, etc,

I have mine set to run one hour at 5pm and cool at 6PM. Screen one is the clock, Mode 1 is set at 5pm as well as mode 2. Mode 3 is stop time at 6pm and mode 4 is cool down mode at 6pm, but the unit keeps running. What am I doing wrong?

Yes. According to page 24 of the instruction manual: "You have the ability to program up to three separate events per load or circuit. An event is defined as a complete On and Off Cycle."

Hi, I had try to set it for range turn on and off.It min "on/off" time is 1 minute.I can select specific day in the week even every day it can be selected.Hope it help to answer your question

The timer can be set for 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24, weekly so it should fit your requirement. To be sure, download the user manual from the manufacturer to confirm. Takes a complete cycle to activate, thus mine is set for daily and will only run the first time the next day. However, there is a manual override that can be set outside of the automated, so it works well. Had bought an older model that failed and Melnor replaced it with an advanced model and I bought two more because it worked so well. Great product and manufacturer from my perspective.

Wow this is quite an ancient post. So far I've looked over the large sheet of directions and set up a few programmable times. Unfortunately nothing has indicated to me that each of the outlets can be timed individually. As far as custom times, you can set 1 turn on time and 1 turn off time on four different programmable settings. For example, program 1 could be set to turn on at 6 AM and to off at 7 PM while program 2 (if selected) could be set to turn on at 6 AM and turn off at 5 PM.

Oh yes - definitely !! You choose the date and the specific time. In fact, you can even program it to turn on (and off) for up to eight different times during various days (and times) of the week.

Not sure about the multi times daily. I am only power on once a day and you set it by setting a start time HH:MM and off time HH:MM. I am not in the same state as the timer now so I can't look at the setup sheet.I am using it to turn a heater on for 2 hrs a day even though it is not intended for thermostat devices. That was not know until I opened the unit and read the setup sheet. So cold in my use it won't cycle so should last awhile.Will look this weekend and try to post a 2nd response.

No, not really. You can only set it to go off a certain number of hours and minutes from the time that you set it. If it was the same number of hours everyday from when you were setting it to when you wanted it to go off you can just re-start easily to count down again once it has gone off.

Once you program the time interval (1 or 2,3,4) times a day,it is set like that for as long as its plugged in. I read that If you unplug it, then you have to reprogram it. I haven't unplugged mine since I got it

Im thinking only if you set it to go on at a certain time and off again.. exp.. on at 8:30 and then off at 9:00 .. It wouldn't come back on until 8:30

Yes, you can set it for up to 4 times a day if I remember correctly. We set my mom's for twice a day and it works great.

Yes. There is an option to set it to go off every 8, 12 or 24 hrs OR every 2nd, 3rd or 7th day. You can have it run from 1min up to 120min at a time.

I don't know that I would leave anything running 24/7 but don't see why you couldn't. What I did was get a timer so it would go on and off regularly without any effort on my part. That way it can run at the most important times for four hours three times a day.

of course,you can program this outlet to turn on or off for anytime and do it daily or specific day.

Yes. There are 7 on-off cycles that you can program to turn on and off any single day or MTWTF or SS or MTWTFSS. So you can have 7 separate on-off periods. But make sure your heater is not more than 15 amps.

I have never used it for that reason but the instruction book says you can set the device to operate at various times of the day and random time periods to avoid predictability. So I would say the answer is "yes."

Buy a timer and set it to turn on unit whenever you wish. This works great for me.
