Timer prompts user through the set-up and programming.
The manual does not show exact steps.
Example programming on page 17 of manual does not show how to set timer
for 'fixed' 24-hour operation, with specific on-off set times http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Intermatic-et70115c.pdf
Intermatic does not show DT11 Intermatic shows the DT121 is no longer available
If the display shows and you can set programs, then the battery is good. Does the manual override work? This indicates whether the timer on-off switch operates. If manual override does not work, then I discovered that timers are no longer any good
Programming: Set present time Then set ON time for program 1 Set OFF time for program 1 Then set ON time for program 2 Set OFF time for program 2 Most timers will not function if there is a conflict in programming > for example Program 1 says ON at 6 and OFF at 7 and Program 2 says opposite or has overlapping times When events are set, press SET once > this will put timer in RUN mode
If manual override works, and you set programming correctly, but timer does not carry out instructions, I guess the timer is no good.
I Just downloaded the pdf for the same model. The link to Intermatic is http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/files/intermatic/products/instructions/timers/dt500ch.ashx
If that doesn't work then google Intermatic DT500CH pdf and select the return from Intermatic. It's a good timer but not intuitive. I had to look up the manual just to change from daylight savings time.
That is the visual indication for a "LO" battery. You need to replace the battery very soon or the timer will cease working properly.
Typically with this model of Intermatic timer, you only have about 30-40 seconds to change out the battery before the programming is erased and you'll have to re-enter your desired on/off cycles and such.
The battery is located under the manual push faceplate, just flip it down and you can either use a small flat bladed screwdriver or your fingernail to open up the battery compartment to change out the battery.
