Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Intermatic TN111C Standard Lamp & Appliance Timer

Customer Review: Lamp Timer
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great lamp timer which I have used for porch lights for years. It is easy to program and set via the inside current time dial while the outer dial is for the program pegs that turn on or off the internal switch. Nice unit for a nice price.

Customer Review: Lamp & applience timer.
Summary: 5 Stars

Completely satisfied! Timer is exactly as described, and works great. Delivery was good.

Customer Review: Excellent, if you skip reading the manual
Summary: 4 Stars

The timer is working great after messing up 1/2 hr with the supplied manual. I am not technically challenged, but the manual makes is pretty hard to start with, since I do not know what does teh green/red pins stand for. Anyway, there is a littl esticker on the back of the timer itself which has "quick start" guide and that helps finally. The timer works just fine, I do not have to worry about start and stop my christmas lights.

Customer Review: CAN set exact time!
Summary: 5 Stars

With a little effort and patience, it's easy to set these to an exact time (within about a minute).

(1) Insert a red pin to shut off the timer at a round hour, about an hour or two ahead of the current time. (If you're doing this at 2:30, for example, set it to shut off around 4:00.)
(2) Advance the wheel past the current time, so the timer thinks it's something like 3:30 or 3:45.
(3) Wait for the timer to shut off, and then immediately unplug it.
(4) Plug the timer back in at exactly the time you set it for (4:00 in this example).

At this point it should retain the correct time until the next time you move the timer, have a power outage, or need to reset the clock for daylight saving time. In my experience the various pin slots on the timer are accurate to within about a minute, and the timer itself might lose or gain as much as a minute per month. But that's still much better precision than you can get without this technique.
