Does anyone know how to program a Newtek Power Strip?!?!

[ReefnAv]

O.k. I give up... I have been trying to program my timer to simply run two (daytime/yellow) plugs to run my lights from 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM and two (nightime/blue) plugs to run my heaters from 11:00 PM to 10:00 AM. Wouldn't seem that difficult huh?

Well I have the Newtek Model #SKM703 and I can't figure out hoe to accomplish this.

I'm sure somebody out there has this model since it is readily available at every LFS and big stores. Can anyone give me come guidance?!?! Sorry... I've lost my patience,

Thanks a million!

I have the same ones and do not have a problem programing them. First off you when you have the daylights off (yellow outlets) the nighlights are on (blue outlets) you can not have a period where neither are on between day/night cycles. (When the yellow is off the blue is on and vise versa) When your setting it up and want the lights on/off at the same times 7/days a week. Only program the first 1/on 1off in the program mode Ignore the rest and leave them blank. They there if you want the lights to cycle on/off up to 7 times a day. Also when you are programing it please note that the on is actaully the nighttime (blue) and the off period is the daytime (yellow). Hope this helps you a bit.

Thanks for the help...I kind of figures that part out but am unable to reset the different program times so that I am just running on 1. I also assume that the timer shoulkd be in auto mode, correct?

Thanks again.

Yes it should be in n auto mode for the set times to operate. As far a clearing the other 2-7 times try unplugging the unit and taking the battery out of it for a few minutes that should restet everything back to the defult settings.

Cool...don't know why I didn't think of that.

Thanks,
