Essential Info

This Indoor Electronic Programmable Plug-In Timer with Front LCD is an excellent choice for regulating your interior lights and other electronics into an automated on/off cycle by setting up to 20 programs from one to seven days a week. Programs can be set as an on/off timed function, countdown function and three modes of random functions. It also functions as a clock with an optional daylight savings feature. With batteries installed, you can move the timer from place to place without losing the programming memory. Use it for a few indoor lights to keep you from coming home to a dark house or to give your home that lived in appearance by using the random function to help deter criminals while you are away. A manual on/off button is a convenient option if you wish to override your current timer status. An LED light even indicates when the timer is on. By limiting the amount of time your lights are on you can significantly reduce the amount of energy being used and eliminate the cost for that energy. It is a great low cost way to automate your lighting up to 1800W (or 15A) and control the amount of power they are using.

    Simple Programming
    Sometimes trying to program electronic devices is difficult and counterintuitive but you will have this indoor timer programmed in no time. The included instructions lead you through the initial programming in an easy to follow, step-by-step process. With this timer you can program your lights on a 7-day cycle, Monday to Friday, Monday to Saturday, during the Weekend or everyday.

    Random On/Off
    Give yourself added safety and security knowing that your home will have that lived in appearance while you are gone. With the random function on "short" your lights will turn on and off between one to two hours, on "long" for two to four hours, or you can program your own random times in a specific one to two hour range.

    Great product. Functions as described.
    DANIEL M -- syracuse, NY   11/24/2010
    The programming instructions are great, if you don't need any.
    GARY -- mooresville, IN   10/14/2010
    I purchased two of these. They both work very well. One of them required reset from onset. A ball point pen will not penetrate deep enough to reset the unit. Had to use a paperclip. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the instructions being a bit vague. The battery backup is a very nice feature. Very happy with my purchase.
    DAVID -- greensboro, NC   2/27/2010
    Not too hard or too easy to setup. Seems to do it's job of turning on and off appliances at the set time. It's bigger than I thought.
    DENNIS -- garden city, MI   2/20/2010
    Timer works very good..Thanks
    RAY -- granbury, TX   2/10/2010
    This is a very reliable and easy to use multifunction timer. I researched many different timer models. This one beats all the others in the price range. I looks good too. It could use a back light on the display; my only criticism.
    TIM -- wenatchee, WA   1/5/2010
    This is a great product. I got it primarily for the countdown feature, which works excellent. There are many programming options, and the unit is fairly user-friendly. I use the timer in a dark closet for charging a hand vacuum, and the countdown feature insures it doesn't get overcharged. I would have rated it 5 stars if the screen was backlit. That is the only downfall of this timer.
    ROBERT -- lexington, MA   10/13/2009
    Works perfectly. Not sure what others were complaining about saying it is difficult to program. It couldnt be simpler.
    ROBERT CONNERLE -- palmetto, FL   10/9/2009
    works like a charm
    JEAN H. -- cullman, AL   8/23/2009
    The item was much too large. It covered the whole plate which left no room to plug in anything else. The instructions were not too clear either.
    RALPH -- lehighton, PA   7/31/2009
    This one set right away, and is working fine. Thank you for sending a replacement. It works fine. Programming was good, ease of use (for the coffee pot) was easy. Overall value was good. I needed a high wattage timer for a coffee pot at my church to heat the water ahead of time. It performs well.
    MANFRED -- las vegas, NV   7/20/2009
    I'm pretty much pleased with the UPM programable timer. Easy to program once you practice using it a couple of times. I feel it's much easier to program than the Intermatic DT620 digital timer which I also have. Had it for quite awhile now with no problems. Good timer.
    JOSE -- austin, TX   7/16/2009
    Work as advertised. Programming of the unit is very simple.
    OLSON TECHNOLOG -- mi wuk village, CA   6/26/2009
    Very versatile product. The manual could be a little easier to interpret.
    LESLIE E. -- santa clara, CA   6/24/2009
    I purchased 4 of these because of the narrow profile and the LCD is visible from the front. 20 program slots provide a lot of flexibility. I use them to control lights for a reef aquarium. The digital clock appears to keep decent time, but it's still too early to tell how they perform. They don't appear to automatically time out of programming mode and I had one "hang up" and stop working until I manually set it to its normal operating state.
    ERIC -- austin, TX   6/17/2009
    As specified, works great. Using to reduce energy draw of instant hot water system/pump.
    ANNEMARIE -- media, PA   6/14/2009
    great production, does exactly what I needed. easy setup & use. Has many on/off options throughout the week.
    MARK -- willoughby, OH   6/1/2009
    UPM ET170 Programmable Countdown Timer: The product description needs to be more specific. I purchased it for the countdown timer feature. It is better than what I was using (15 amps vs. 5 amps, and with battery backup), but it's not what I thought it was, or was looking for - It only has one countdown timer (and 20 programmables). My interest in using countdowns is that they're easier to use than putting in the start and end times each time, which are always different, for different things I do: distilled water maker (the reason I got it, it uses 5 amps) 5 hours, crockpot 8 hours, handmade soap (another crockpot) 3 hours. It would be nice if I could just click to the pre-programmed countdown time (5, 8, or 3 hours), click start, and then leave it. For example, it would be better if the ET170 had 10 countdowns and 10 programmables - that would suit my needs. Also, to get to the one countdown timer, you have to press two buttons simultaneously, or press the program button 42 times to get to it. It would be nice if that were simplified for as few clicks as necessary.
    LUCY -- aiken, SC   5/30/2009
    too difficult to program. returned
    DARREN T. -- crescent city, CA   5/30/2009
    I got this item specifically for count down timer; the ability to run a dehumidifier for an length of time I can choose from when every I choose to start it. It also has a count up timer. I has worked great. I will buy another one if I ever need another one. It's easy to use and program. I have not used it for any of its other features yet.
