Digital socket timer with ~16 On/Off cycles a day

Shrimply

Hi guys,

This is a long shot but I'm looking to replace an analogue plug-through timer with a digital one, for lots of reasons including reliability, less noise and less chance of sticking.

The device in question is currently set to come on for 15 minutes every 90 minutes. Does anyone know of any digital replacements that would allow the same. Most of the ones I've looked at, either do not give clear details of what is possible, or have too few programmable intervals (8 seems to be common).

Some of them do have a random option and this would work as long as the device was turned on regularly for short intervals. An average of 5 minutes every 30 minutes for example would be as useful as 15 minutes every 90.

Cheers

I have this one at home: http://www.timeguard.com/products/time/consumer-time-controllers/7-day-compact-electronic-timeswitch

I only use it as a countdown timer, but it looks like it would fit the bill for you.

That does look ideal, thank you very much. Nice to see the user manual too.

Don't know if I've been daft not being able to find on on my own but there are so many different ones out there. And there are a few that are listed as having X number of programs, but it turns out they do some sort of weird calculation with all the different day options.

Thanks again.

Am I the only person intrigued at the application you are using this for?
