Q. I need a timer which I can turn on manually but which will turn off automatically at a preset time. Is it possible to set an off time without setting an on time, and then use the override function to turn it on manually?
A. Hi Duncan. Thank you for your question. This is achievable by utilising the countdown function as shown in option 10 in the data sheet.
Q. Hi, Im looking to use this timer for a floor lamp containing a 25watt Compact Fluorescent Light. Will this timer be suitable for this? Many Thanks Mike
A. Hi Mike. Thank you for your question. This should be suitable for the application you have mentioned.
Q. I run a small store where we have chillers for beer and soft drinks. Is this timer suitable to use with this type of machines. Have tried two different types of timers already and they only lasted a week before they packed in.
A. Hi Sinky. Thank you for your question. I can see no reason why not provided you are not trying to draw more than 13A at start up in total – this may be affected by the number of machines connected to each one.
Q. Hi, I need a timer that will go on and off 16 times a day, seven days a week with a maximum on time of 1 minute, would this timer be the one?
A. Hi Mr Drew. Thank you for your question. This is the best option we can offer - these have a minimum of 1 minute setting so would be the best option.
Q. I have a heating system connected to a RCB. I have tried a manual time switch but that knocks out the RCB. Will this one work with a RCB or do you do RCBs with timers
A. Hi Peter, thanks for your question. If you are getting premature tripping then it may indicate a suspect RCB, although some RCBs are more sensitive than others. Without having the means to test this we would be unable to know for sure. It might be worth getting an electrician to fit a timer that is RCB friendly.
I particularly like the fact that the switch activates +/- a few minutes, so the light doesn't come on at the same time every day. I would like a feature whereby the timer switches on and off at random within a set time period. Twenty years ago I bought a timer which has this facility and fits into a ceiling light and I have been looking for a socket version ever since, without success. You can find timers that switch on and off completely at random, but not only within the hours of darkness, which is what we want.
I do not regret I have spent a little bit more and got this amazing electronic timer. Works very well, easy to program and completely unnoticeable. I have let it for 7 days unplugged and surprisingly none of the settings disappeared. Very recommended over manual and noisy ticking timers.
I purchased this timer plug over the others that Rapid supply due to the relatively slimline nature and being able to set different on-off times for different days of the week. The instructions with this timer were not the easiest to follow, but once I got the hang of it, it works really well. I have set it to do different things during weekedays than weekends, and use the random function to make i look less like an automated device and more like someone is at home. Though the main reason for purchasing the timer plug was so I didn't have to get home to a dark house! As ever, the service from Rapid Electronics was excellent.
