My ML200RT Malibu Transformer is

If the timer does not rotate, then the clock motor gears have been stripped, or the motor has gotten weak.
With most expensive timers, you can buy and replace the clock motor.
But not with the Malibu power pack.

I tried spraying WD-40 on my timer dial.
And broke the power pack apart looking for ways to disassemble it.
Power packs are one-piece units.
New power packs have electronic clock, so test your circuit with circuit analyzer before assuming new electronic gizmo will work better.

"Harry" wrote in two months ago with a brilliant work-around.
His timer stopped working.
He bought a cheap plug-in timer and then connected power pack to that timer.

Harry also said that his power pack has 5 year warranty.
He was 'negotiating' with malibulights.com over the warranty.
I hope he writes back and says how it went.
Here's the contact page.

Here are some tips for next power pack that might save money:
The reason I add these tips now, before your power pack needs replacement is some fella wrote-in.
He bought 500 Watt power pack to replace 300 Watt > thinking bigger was better.
Power pack burned out. Here's why:
1) Match wattage of bulbs with wattage of power pack
-15 each X 20 watt bulbs = 300 watts, so install 300Watt power pack
2) Installing a 500W power pack on 300W of bulbs will burn out bulbs and power pack.
3) Replace bulbs as soon as they burn out or other bulbs will burn out and power pack will burn out.
4) When working on bulbs, unplug power pack or it may burn out.

How do I wire a T104 intermatic timer on a 277v light circuit with a switch already installed?

No one appears to have tried this before as it is more often used as a Pool Timer, But what you need is the Switch and the Timer wires in parallel. So live to the timer and also to the switch, and negative to the timer and the switch. In that way either the light switch or the timer can switch the lights on and off. https://www.google.com/search?q=wire+a+T104+intermatic+timer+on+a+277v+light+circuit+with+a+switch+already+installed ..

Have an Intermatic EH10 with no display

It sounds like there may be an issue with the display or the power supply of your Intermatic EH10 timer. First, check to see if the power supply is providing the correct voltage and amperage to the timer. If the power supply is working correctly, then it is likely that the issue is with the timer and you may need to have it serviced or replaced.

Radio cobra 200 gtl n9 transmite ni se mueve la aguja donde le mueve pa transmite

Suena como si pudiera haber un problema con el transmisor de su radio Cobra 200 GTL N9. Es posible que la fuente de alimentaci?n de la radio no est? proporcionando suficiente energ?a al transmisor, o que el transmisor no est? conectado correctamente. Debe verificar la fuente de alimentaci?n para asegurarse de que est? conectada y proporcione el voltaje y la amperaje correctos a la radio. Tambi?n debe verificar todas las conexiones entre el transmisor y la radio, incluidos el cable de antena y el cable del micr?fono. Si las conexiones est?n seguras y la fuente de alimentaci?n funciona correctamente, entonces el problema puede estar con la radio misma y es posible que necesite ser atendida por un profesional.

Intermatic little gray box

It sounds like the timer may have been affected by the power outage and is not functioning properly. If the timer is a mechanical timer, you can try resetting the time on the timer and check if the trippers (ON/OFF pointers) are set to the correct time and are not loose. If the trippers are loose, then they could slip and cause issues with the pump turning on/off at the correct times. You can also try lubricating the manual on/off switch with a lubricant such as WD-40. If the timer is a digital timer, you can try replacing the battery to see if that resolves the issue.

Why won't my woods timer set right

It is possible that your Woods timer is malfunctioning due to a power surge or power outage. You can check the time settings by pressing the "SET" button on the timer and then using the "+" and "-" buttons to set the time. If the timer is still not setting correctly, then it is likely the timer is damaged and needs to be replaced.

I have an Arlec PC699GB timer. It is not following the weekly programme which I have set it to do.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the timer itself. Some things you can try include double-checking that the timer is set up correctly and ensuring that the power supply to the timer is stable. You can also try cleaning the contacts on the timer, as dirt or corrosion on the contacts can prevent the timer from functioning properly. If these steps do not help, it is possible that the timer is malfunctioning and may need to be replaced. If you have tried these steps and the timer is still not working as expected, you may want to consider contacting the manufacturer or a professional for further assistance.

Operating instructions for ekco timer

Hi, It seems like your device is being sold on websites like amazon and ebay. Your best move might be to request the instructions from one of those sellers and ask them to send it to you as an individual product. Otherwise, you might have to reach out the librarian at a local college or technical college to ask if they could provide you the instructions that you're seeking. Thank you.
