Basicly,i just want to program a Noma timer to open and close at the same time every day.I don't need all the other stuff.Model 052-8873-0 (Noma Timer)

They make dozens of timers and programming is different on each. If it is outside decoration timer, or a sump heater timer, look for tiny embossed instructions on the back of it.

Google

Noma (model number) instructions.

..

Contact Canadian Tire to request assistance. (Noma is sold by Canadian Tire.)

I couldn't locate that model number. You can use the Comment menu to add information to your question.

Could it be any of the pictures at the link below:

UPM ET525C Manual

Instructions are 14 pages. It is impractical to re-write 14 pages of instructions.
If you have a problem, add a comment and say exactly which programming you want to set, and I will respond.

-Timer can be programmed for ON and OFF times, for Dawn-Dusk, for Countdown, for Daylight countdown, for daylight saving, and for Random. Each different programming option has 8-12 steps shown in manual.

I would like to figure out out to program my NOMA photo electric switch Model Number N 1502

Use the top button to adjust the current time & then push the bottom button once to save. Next is the time you want the lights to turn on & push bottom button once to save. The last setting is the time you want the lights to turn off. Don't forget to use the . (period) indicator for the pm setting. (I had the same problem and had to search the net to find someone else who had posted the instructions.)
