OMFG. Please help. This is the timer control for my landscape lights. Have you ever seen this kind of thing before? Can you explain to me how it works -- (link) - mara Jan 10, 14:55 [Image] 18
- worst case scenario, go to Lowes with the picture and see what they have to replace it -- nm - peglegpete Jan 10, 15:20
- Yes. The TIME arrow you point to the current time. The colored pegs are moved to the on and off times (probably black=on red=off but you can test) - oblique Jan 10, 15:10 10
  - Right. This is the same kind of timer you use for lamps when you're away from home. - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 10, 15:16
  - The two things that had me confused were: red = on or off? and which direction does everything move. I feel stupid, but when things work for some time - mara Jan 10, 15:14 8
    - The pegs are triggers. On some systems the color matters (you can spin past it and it won't do anything) and on some it's just a toggle (on to off or - oblique Jan 10, 15:19

- We had one of these in my house. I just sent an email to my dad, I bet he knows. -- nm - Max Jan 10, 14:59 2
  - If I'm right, you rotate the numbers dial to match the current time to the arrow, then move the needles to when you want it On and Off. -- nm - Max Jan 10, 15:01 1
    - I thought that's what I'd been doing (and it had been working, I thought). Now I'm wondering if there's a short or other malfunction, or if - mara Jan 10, 15:08
- I have never seen it. is there a name & model number you can look up online for the manual? -- nm - peglegpete Jan 10, 14:57 2
