How does this timer do in winter? Does it freeze up?

We use it on our pool in the summer but leave it outside on a protected deck during the winter. It still works fine.

We used it for our Christmas decorations outside and had no problems at all. It was a very cold and snowy winter as well.

I purchased two of these and use them to control outside lighting. The did well down to about 20 degrees, it doesn't get much colder here.

no.It works fine as long as you follow the instructions regarding mounting orientation.

I am confident the unit will be inoperative when temperatures drop below freezing. Try fencing, netting, or a system that generates lights and noise.

The unit is definitely affected by cold weather. Since the switch stopped working on our first unit we've always been sure to bring the units inside when the weather gets to freezing.

I baught 3 a year and half ago and I had problem with all 3 , tryed to return them and the company would not except them back . thy didn't last a year for me . I'm an electrician so thy were installed the right way . As far as freezening no my units would not track and thy would go on for no reason all the time . Good luck with yours .

It has lasted one winter (although I have had to replace the batteries), and still works fine. The base unit plays a short tune of square wave tones once when a car goes by, then starts blinking a red led to indicate that something happened. That led stays blinking until you clear it. It seems good for the price, and I'd choose it again.

YES..it has a thermostat, it can be set so low that it will only come on at freezing if desired.

Down into the freezing area, you'll be fine. Even short periods of sub freezing if it's covered. It will run most of the time but stay 104. Below zero? I doubt it.

I have not had the timer on over winter but I believe that you can run it for 360 minutes and then run another cycle a minute or two later to get ten hours. That's what I due to keep it going all night, (12 hr.) with my deer spayers.

Yes. You can use this timer. Check you're defrost tubes,make sure they are not burned out. First.

I love this snow blower for what it is -- cordless for light snowfall. I had no issues at all with it. Obviously, warranty concerns are valid as it won't be used for many months, but you can unpack it, set it up, charge the battery and insure that it runs. If it doesn't run you can return/exchange or deal with warranty repair.

It freezes similarly to the way a computer freezes. But it can freeze either when it's off or on. The trick of holding down the little raised menu button on the front, simultaneously with the on/off button on the top for about 20 seconds has always worked for me. I guess that does a hard reset. I found the tip online, I'm not a techy.

I used mine for about a month (2nd home) before I shut it off for the colder temperatures.I have to say - IT WORKED GREAT.

It pretty well runs solid until it gets up to temp, then it turns on and off usually within plus or minus of 2 degrees. A lot of this depends on how cold and insulated your area is, but for me it is usually about every 5 to 6 minutes it will run about 1 to 3 minutes, then continue to repeat in that pattern.

I have been using the light since Mid-April. I have not had any issues with it. The temperature range has been normally 50 - 80 degrees. As far as it working in freezing temperatures, there have been several days of cold weather, but not any extended freezing cold temperatures. I live in Southern New England and I guess I will find out in a few short months.

No issues at all with it freezing up. used it for about 20 minutes straight and no problem at all.

So far mine works great, I'm a little corned about it being exposed to the winter elements and freezing up on me just when I need to open it most since I have it on my Storm Shelter. I did however have another one like it that locked up and I couldn't get the Combination opened. I called teh company and they sent me a replacement at no cost. I like it, and after this winter I'll know if I want more of them. Hope this helps.
