Lost instuctions need to know how to program timer to come on ay 3 pm off at 6pm also should switch be on outlet on or timer on

1) Copy following link to identify timer and download possible manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#50006



2) How to set analog timers by experimenting with features:
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-set-timers.html



3) 50001 timer is not random vacation timer like the 50003.
50000 series timers by Woods have 1 year limited warranty, and they are a new design released this year. However the analog timer design has been around for many years.


4) If timer is acting randomly, then
a) timer is defective,
b) the override switch is not fully positioned at 'timer on,'
c) segments are not lifted fully in position,


5) ... other more remote causes: outlet might not test 80% rated voltage?, outlet might have reversed polarity?


5) Try timer on different outlet with different light.


6) As the timer dial rotates, the segments push small lever, and the lever moves switch that turns lights on-off. I suppose if this lever was broken or switch was broken, then timer would act more randomly.

1) There is no repair for defective timer.
According to manual, under Initial Timer Operation: yellow outlet is ON at 4:00 pm.
Make sure Mode button is not set to OFF.

2) Scheduling timer: Think about the zilla timer this way:
Day is 12 hours and night is 12 hours.
Your total schedule is only 9 hours, but it overlaps day and night.

If timer 'night' starts at 6pm and ends at 6am, then your programming overlaps day and night.
If timer 'night' starts at 12midnight and ends at 12noon, then your programming still overlaps day and night.

3) To solve zilla time problem, set current time differently.
4) Or buy GE or Utilitec 24-hour programmable power strip

You are having problem programming zilla digital power strip timer.
http://waterheatertimer.org/GE-timers-and-manuals.html#zilla

Either timer is defective, or programming has conflicts that cause timer to ignore programming, or blue-yellow outlets are not understood, or combination of these problems.

Zilla yellow outlets are for daytime hours.
Blue outlets for nighttime.
The instruction manual does NOT specify what hours are for daytime. 6 am to 6 pm? Or 12 am to 12pm?
The zilla analog timer divides day and night at 12 and 12.

If digital timer is also 12 and 12, then you cannot set ON at 5:59am and OFF at 5:59pm without fudging the current time setting. For example offset current time by exactly 6 hours.

Zilla timers are unique for home-type timers.
They are two-channel timers, which means that timer has 2 independent programs.
In the case of Zilla, 1 program controls yellow outlets for daytime hours (6am to 6pm). Once daytime hours are over, the yellow outlets are OFF.
The other program controls blue outlets for nighttime hours (6pm to 6am). Once nighttime hours are over, the blue outlets are OFF.

So if you have a light for example, and light is plugged into yellow outlet, then you can program light to turn on-off during the daytime hours only. You cannot also set a nighttime program for the same light unless you plug light into blue outlet.

Zilla timers are for aquariums, where day and night plays important role in life cycle and activity of different types of aquatic beings.

Add a comment and say exactly which Zilla timer you have, and say what specifically you have done so far, and where you are stuck, and what loads you want to control.

I have not heard of Woods 16ULD.
Woods timers sometimes have more than 1 model number for same timer, depending on who packaged and sold timer.

You posted under Woods plug-in timer with segments around edge of dial.
If this is not your timer, add a comment.

Also see lost of Woods timers where you might recognized photo of your model:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html

To program Woods timers with segments:
Rotate dial until current time lines up with arrowhead located on inner dial
Segments around outer edge of dial lift up.
Use fingernail, or small screwdriver to lift up segments when you want timer to turn OFF.
Leave segments down for times you want timer ON.
Slide switch located on top of timer is manual override.
Move switch to ON position when you want lights ON full time.
Move switch other direction for timer program to operate.
Timer dial rotates with passing time.
Program repeats each 24 hours.
Table lamp must be turned ON for timer to function.
If timer doesn't work, check receptacle for power, check that lamp is turned ON, and check that bulb is good.

Utilitec makes 2 different plug-in timers.
Utilitec 0155671 is about size of baseball and has 5 buttons and two outlets. Programming is shown on link below.

You didn't mention the specific model of your timer, but here's a link to a manual that I hope will work for you:

2- Set the time of the day (on the hour, example. 2. Pm) using the top TIME button. For pm there will be a dot to the lower right of the 6.
3- Once the time is set push the MODE button, this will replace the 6pm with a flashing P.
4- Push the TIME button again to set the time you want the timer to come on. (Remember for 6pm there will be a dot to the lower right of the 6.
5- Push the MODE button once the desired time is set, an E will appear.
6- Push the TIME button again to select the time you want the timer to go off (example 10.pm).
7- Push the MODE Button again. The time of day 2. (Pm) will be displayed. If the timer loses power just repeat the above steps.

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.)
