They're ALL Down when you get the timer.. It would be helpful for them to state that in the instruction. Instead they tell you to push the pins down to set. Bur they're already all down!

    I agree. They should add that to the instruction manual. We would have to go to Intermatic website to comment to get it changed I guess.

I think all pins are in the up position from the factory. It looks like you push the attached pins down (or into the body of the timer) for the duration that you want your light to stay on. Then leave the pins up (or away from the body) for the duration that you want your light to stay off. If the pins won't go in (or down), rotate the dial, it is possible that the pins are hitting the switch inside.

Try that & write back.

Hi! I've had the same exact problem, and of course when I called the help hotline I said and they figured it out myself. The pens are considered down when they are level with the nightlight and face plate. So you have to pull them up in order to get them to work. It was easier for me to get the pins up on the bottom edge, or the flat part, so I would rotate the dial and pull the pins up as I rotated . Just be careful, I accidentally took off the entire face plate but plugged it back in. My advice would be to press down you're with your thumb on the nightlight section as you pull the pins up

I have three of these types of timers and cannot get the pins t moe up or down. I have rotated the time dial and they still don't work. It sems unlikely that all three of them are defective. Any thoughts?

GE basic timer model 15131 manual missing

It's a little backward from what I was thinking. The "Stops" haveto be UP for the timer to be OFF. When you want the timer toturn an object ON you push the "Stops" DOWN.Thanks to geno_3245 for posting the initial information.

I have installed a new adjustable thermostat unit (E1-BCANRT1W). Temp is set at 91 deg and I am using the timer. Two time periods are set and the switch is set to timer (not ON). The unit comes on at...

Double check your slide switch.
For timer: set switch to TIMER
For thermostat: set switch to ON
If slide switch does not operate, then Autocirc may be defective

http://waterheatertimer.org/Water-heater-recirculation-system.html

1) Household AC wiring will not affect the timer.
You can check your outlet using cheap circuit analyzer from home center.
The clock rotates one direction and the pins push small lever down which turns motor on-off.
When the OFF pins pass, the small lever snaps back and the motor turns ON.

I cannot immediately find operation manual for the E-1 model.
Typical ACT303 auto circ manual says following:

2) If timer controlled operation is desired, set timer and move slide switch to TIMER:
Manual says: tabs/pins are outward for ON times.
Another sentence says UPWARD, so I don't know which way the pins are set for sure.
So if you want timer ON for 2 hours, you would set 4 consecutive pins outward or upward.
ON for 6 hours, set 12 consecutive pins outward or upward.
If the timer turns ON in reverse of instructions, then set the pins that way.
Autocirc does not make the timer, they buy timer modules from clock-makers like Grasslin, Intermatic, etc.

3) To operate Autocir thermostatically without the timer, slide switch to ON position.
The clock dial will continue rotating

I cannot set my GE timer--15119----I have no instructions and have tried many times---I can't believe how difficult this timer is to set----

Here's what I found.
Pull up all of the little pins around the dial.
Push down all pins for the time that you want the light to stay on.
Leave pins up for all time that you want the light to stay off.
Rotate the dial to the current time of day.
Plug timer into wall.
Plug light into timer.
Ensure light is ON.

The instructions indicate to push the outer segments down with pen, etc to set timer. I can't get the segment to go down.

Generally the segments are already pushed down when you buy timer.

Instruction usually say, pull up all the segments, and after pulling up all the segments, then push down the segments for the hours you want the timer turned OFF or ON depending on timer

GE 24 hour programmable basic timer - how do i push the keys down. is there a diagram? I tried and tried. The product is the Basic Time.. no pin. #15119

So, this timer came with no instructions. What do you want for $3.99. Made cheap in China and instructions cost more than the timer.

The timer has a dial with tabs all around the 24 hour clock. They are in the down position which is on. You must pull all the tabs up in the times you want the timer off. This is different from all the other timers I have that used that have two removable tabs that are placed at the start and end times.

Put the switch on the side of the timer in the timer position.

Yay!!! I found out the solution, and I tried it, and it DOES work!
I got these instructions from Intermatic Technical Services. I e-mailed them with my problem and they finally got back to me.
Follow them exactly and you will have no problems!
1) Pull up all trippers.

2) Push down the tripper at the time you want the light to turn on

3) Push down the tripper at the time you want the light to turn off

4) Push down all trippers for the duration of your on time

5) Set the current time of day with the time of day arrow

6) Plug in your lamp and make sure the lamp's switch is in the on position

7) Set the slide switch at the top to the timer position

If this does not help, please contact technical service by phone at 815-675-7000, option 1 then option 2.
