Timer Question

[HGO]

Hey guys and girls I have a question regarding timers
If the power goes off for whatever reason do digital timers still keep track of the current time or do they
stop like the old fashioned manual set ones do??

Mine keeps time ,only 12 or 24 hrs though,think they inbuilt battery?

Thanks for that
might have to buy me a digital one then sick of the power going off here and I have to readjust the timer
every time

Can anyone reccomend a good brand that doesn't do ya head in trying to set it

Can't recall any brand names, but i've bought a couple of digital ones from hydro stores. They're usually around $40-50 each, and are better than anything that you'll find in Bunnings etc..

Edit: If you can get a HPM like Porks mentioned, they're the go. Never had much luck sourcing them though. Stay away from Arlec rubbish, especially the analog cog ones, melts the gears under load.

Also, don't overload them. Most good ones can handle up to 2400w through them.

The arlek digi ones are great easy to program and have the back up battery think porky recommend it.

I’ve got four of them now lol

 

[Porky]

I got the one I put up at Bunnings.

The hpm slimline ones are garbage

Nightmare to program

Haha. That's what I use. I've about 10 of them between my aquariums and garden. The slim feature is great but they are a head fuck to program. They are a reliable unit though.
