I'm looking for a timer that I can turn on for 3 minutes every 3 hours? will this timer work?

I did look at the instructions and under item #5 it states that you can program this timer for 28 events, so that would work. What you are trying to do would constitute 8 events.

to be honest with you I don't know. I bought two of these timers and I found the directions so confusing that they are both laying here, never used. I wouldn't buy this timer for any reason.

No I couldn't depend on two of them to operate landscape lighting from dusk to dawn! Sorry that was my experience.

I do not know how many on offs you can program in one day. I no longer have that timer. I found it very difficult to program.

Yes this will work, BUT you would need a 12v DC power supply to run the timer.

Timer goes for an hour you just have to reset it. Should not bother it at all to run it three hours. It will only get so hot

Sorry i set my timer to run during the night and i have never checked to see it it is functing correctley. Instructions were shipped with the device and it was simple to set ( I think.) I will try to check it this up an comming week end. Then I will get back to you later on this site if you don't already have the solution.

I set mine on "timer" and then switched it to "on". It worked for a while but about half of my timers wouldn't hold the actual time so they wouldn't come on at the right time.

No. Do not buy. The features are minimal.timer is manual for15 minutes.. I made a purchasing mistake

It should work for a timer or alarm either way. Just be sure to respond to it cause it does NOT turn off by itself until either you shut it off or the battery dies! Good Luck!

Yes, indeed it will work for about 6-8 hours. We can change the frequency from 1 minute to 3 minutes which should resolve your issue.

this device can't do what you're asking. you might want to look at a mechanical timer that gives you several options of turning on and off your appliances

My timer sets to trigger for one minute(=60 sec) twice a day. It worked fine so far for more than three months

Probably not. This Timer has six ON/OFF settings per day and some other DAY/WEEK stuff. One Minute ON/OFF (six times) a day is about as close as you get. Your need sounds like a Hydroponic Fluid Pump or something. Get a Timer Circuit (with Output Relay) from an Electronics Supply house.

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

Yes, There are 3 settings: on, off, and timer. On will keep it on until you turn it off. Timer leaves it on for 5 hours and will turn it on for another 5 hours the next day.

I would not recommend this timer to replace any device. It is very unreliable.

This one has the soft push button, so it would probably not work with a timer.

No, this is a 24 hour timer. You would probably need a digital timer to handle your need.

The timer should work, just check the amp rating to make sure it can handle the amps of the fridge. It has 4 different settings with individual on and off times.
