When you are looking at the screen with the number of the event you wish to delete blinking, press “program” one time and then turn the dial until you see “- - - -“ and then program once again to save and move to the next event.
thanks for the updated video. I use your older one whenever I need to reprogram the DT620. I love this timer. I like to have my lights come on a little after sunset and off a bit before sunrise so I just adjust those dusk/dawn times in the set up area.
9:58 THANK YOU!!!! the instructions were written by/for aliens and the official video for this product is even less helpful! NOW I understand what this is talking about!! I don't, however, understand why I programmed in the current date and time, and the times I want the switch to be on, and THEN also tell the switch if right now is a time within the programmed schedule. The switch has all of the information to determine this simple check by itself.
So if I have it set up properly as to go on at dusk and the go off at midnight, and it is only say 4 pm (2 hours earlier than dusk) but the system is on (with green light on top of timer) does that mean someone must have manually pressed on and I can just turn it off and it will come back on at dusk?
As long as the readout says “auto” above the time of day the timer will cycle through the programmed on and off times. You can manually press the on/off button any time without effecting the program settings. If you press the “program” button and scroll through all 28 spots and you only see one on time and one off time then the next most likely scenario would be that somebody manually pressed the “on” button.
Thank you, i have 40+ of these on property and the landscape light company did not want me to learn this because of the service calls they got before i get hired. 😂😂
I had one that worked perfectly for nine months, then the receptacles suddenly stopped working. I got a new one from Intermatic the other day under warranty, and the receptacles don't work. Any ideas?
Thanks for the vid. This is much better than the instructions with it as it simplifies things and makes sense the way you walk thru the whole thing. Very informative and sure you have helped LOTS of folks!!!!😎
Old video yes, but still spot-on. Great step-by-step. Included instructions are impossible, but this video greatly simplifies. Thanks agin for your excellent effort.
Thank you for this! Just bought a house with one of these timers and lost all settings when the power went out. The previous owners left no instructions & had not replaced the battery....
You can do up to 7 on and off events. It depends on how you program the days. You can select any day separately or the whole week as a whole. I can't remember if you can only select all week days and weekends separately. I'm having issues with the daylight savings feature. I have mine set to dusk to 2am. The time updates on the unit but the dusk time doesn't (was hoping to fix that with a this video). Unlike he mentioned in the video it never gets my dusk time correct. It gives you a lean way of 2 hours to adjust up or down. It comes just before the 2 hour mark.
Intermatic makes a similar timer called a DT200LT that is essentially made for landscape lighting applications and has a simpler setup interface. It costs about twice as much so I haven’t switched over yet myself but you might want to look into it. I will try to make a video for it in the near future.
Very informative video. I own a Landscape Lighting company in Illinois and have provided this link to at least 5 customers in the past year. Prior to that I would have to have a timer in my hand and take at least 20 minutes of my time to talk customers over the phone on resetting it. Not only has this video saved me time but also offers clients a way to save a $75 Service call
I've programmed a few hundred of these over the years and although I have had a few problems and faulty timers out of the box a couple times, I've had a very small failure rate. The problem you are having is not common and perhaps you have a faulty timer. If there backup batteries are fully charged you should be able to see the digital readout pretty well to program it without having the timer plugged in. If the readout is faded your batteries are getting low. Make sure the battery compartment is pushed in fully.
You not only saved us $50 on a service call, but taught us how to do this for the future. Our timer went haywire and for 2 months it was on during dawn and off during dusk. You are awesome!!
