"The-Timer" Issue - 05/15/19 02:31 PM
Right off the top I'd like to say these timers have performed very well for me over the past 20 years even though a bad batch came out in 2016
Just recently found another faulty timer unit and would like to let everyone know what to look for in case you haven't heard.
What to look for:
1.) Serial numbers that start with TW61, TW62, or TW63
2.) Any serial numbers where the numbers are larger than the first two letters
3.) A timer that loses time (mine is losing roughly 25 seconds every 24 hours)
4.) A timer that has blanked out numbers when entering any program mode (P1 - P-6)
5.) A timer that will stick and send a constant throw signal until disconnected, timer reset, or battery is drained (if you walk up to your feeder with 500 pounds of corn in a pile you'll know)
The guys at West Texas Feeder Supply are excellent and have no problem looking into any suspect timer and replacing if needed. I have noticed that the few I've replaced have been replaced with a unit that has illuminated buttons which comes in really handy.
Give them a call if you have any questions 432-385-1303
