I purchased this coralife digital timer the other day. Has anyone tried this model? Its the only one I found that allows me (Hopefully) to auto on the lights 5 days then off on the weekends. Its all good except the directions. They are weird.
It has two Yellow outlets (Day) two blue outlets (Night) which alternate. When yellow is on the blue is off. They can't be on at the same time. I only need to use one set.
I set slot one (There are up to seven) to turn ON-9AM OFF-8pm. The next day they went on then off in 1 hour. (Like it jumped to setting 2- Weekend)
It says OFF really means that BLUE are on. ON means Yellow is on. Take a look at the
docs.
PRessing the Mode cycles through 4 settings
Yellow on all the time (NO TIMER)
BLUE on all the time (No TImer)
AUTO (WHich I think is the timer)
RND - NOt sure how the random works or why I would need it.
Coralife Aqualight Digital Power Center Aquarium Timer - (eBay item 320149919623 end time Aug-30-07 09:00:50 PDT)
Activating Time Cycle:
Press the MODE button to display:
A. Off: Yellow outlets are off
Blue outlets are on
B. On: Blue outlets are on
Yellow outlets are off
C. Auto: Programmed Time cycle(s) timer settings activated
D. RDM: Activate +/- 15 min. before and after time cycle 1 and time cycle 2.
Its at work so I don't have much time to mess with it. I just want the yellow to turn on at X-time and Off at X time. I don't care about the blue.
I only used two slots.
1. ON - 9AM (MTWTHF)
OFF - 8PM
2. ON 9AM (S,SUN)
OFF 10PM
I think when I left (10PM) it may have jumped to slot 2 (Weekend) as it only went on for 1 hour today.
Thanks to anyone that can simplify this timer for me!
