BN-LINK BNC-U1S 8 Outlet Surge Protector with 7-Day Digital Timer

[@aaronstevens4286]

Have it set to auto but still on past programed time. I've tried resetting and turning on and off but still on. This is not a good timer. Whats the point of 8 programmable settings if it's for all 4 outlets.

[@donnar1244]

FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE!!!! There must be a fail safe within these plugs on the switched side. If you do not have anything plugged into it when it's time to come on automatically per the program you set, the outlets will not work...regardless if they are plugged in when it's time for the next turn on cycle, they will not turn on. Basically, all your plugs need to be in the outlets proir to the very first programmed on time for it ever work. It would be nice if the manual and videos said that

[@rachaeltimmerman9442]

This comment saved me. I was getting so irritated

[@christianer7802]

I can't get Auto mode to turn on. I hold down the Manual button as instructed at 2:10. What am I doing wrong?

[@juddbelue1283]

Finally figured this out. Just reset before programming. Random selection will totally make u pull your hair out. Easy peasy after that. Set date for all days of the week and I just use program 1. Works great…finally!

[@blackheartedyt]

I reset it before programming set all 8 to be the exact same and it refuses to turn them on how did you get that trash to function

[@victoriagearrin5930]

@@blackheartedytThis is still my issue. Did you ever figure it out or just gave up?

[@donnar1244]

I reached out to the company as I have the same issue...the switched side light is not illuminated like the always on side...mine is defective for sure

[@techhdan]

This is amazing there's only one thing you didn't mention. The programmable 1 - 8 bind to which inputs ? is 1 the first one on the left? or the first one on the right? If the right side is always on then why is there 8 programmable settings? or are the 8 programmable settings global to all the left side? Can each outlet in the programmable side be programmed individually? For example I need one outlet to turn on one hour before the next one turns on.

[@Bnlink_Inc]

Hello Dan, the 4 outlets on the timer side are controlled simultaneously not individually. All 4 outlets will turn ON/OFF at the same time, up to 8 different times.

[@kindolive9528]

@@Bnlink_Inc The fact that all the outlets are controlled simultaneously and not individually should me more clearly marked on the packaging. I feel misled having bought this product to control multiple reptile enclosures and plant lights and was really disappointed.

My problem is how do I use each program I set. Every time I try to use program 2. I check it and it’s back to 1?

[@Colorado-Coyote]

Can you set the timer of each individual plug? I want to set my lights to go on for 12 hours and my mister to go on for 5 minuets

[@Nichole-hd7fm]

Yes you can

[@icegodcyero640]

I have mine on auto and set everything up correctly. I’m using this for a fogger and a UVB light for my lizard. The UVB light is set to turn on at 10am and off at 10PM, the fogger is set to turn on at 8am and off at 2pm. It was past 2 pm when I plugged it in but it still had the fogger running when I plugged it in?? When I toggle auto off it turns off both the light and the fogger. Not really sure what I’m doing wrong. If anyone has an answer please let me know!

[@josel804]

I’m having the same issue it’s dumb

[@aclement1000]

Same issue

[@peanutomar]

Foggers should not be on set On 8am until 2pm I purchased (Inkbird) humidifier amd temperature control outlet that automatically turns off and on when required humidity is reached and will alarm you if set temperature is exceeding for your reptile need.

[@aaronstevens4286]

The program sets to all timed plugs. You can't set each one differently from my understanding

[@trevorc.1367]

The 4 timed outlets turn on and off together. I’m not sure, but I believe if things are over lapping in the same day, it will probably cancel one of them out. The 8 programs would be for different times on different days. But still working with the 4 outlets. It will not control individual outlets on their own schedules. Aaaaand I just realized this comment is over 2 years old. lol. I’m sure you’ve figured this out by now… hopefully 🤞🏽 😂

[@kelz6591]

I set mines to automatically turn on at 7am and turn off at 7pm.... its 1:02 am and it has not turned off yet. Auto mode is on

[@miloszkwiatkowski7449]

I'm having the same issue. auto on is on but the timed feature that should turn the lights off is not Turing them off

[@Autumn938]

Do you have the plugs plugged into the “switched” or “always on” side? They should be in the “switched” side for them to turn off as programmed.

@Dani Stark dude I figured it out. Set your timer. Hold manual for a couple seconds and auto on or auto off will come on. If your timer should be off leave it on auto off not on. And when you want your lights it'll be auto on. I thought auto off would be like manual off. Idk it's fuckin dumb

Hello, this timer only has the ability to program 8 ON/OFF programs. If you would like the timer to run every 15min we would recommend purchasing a short period repeat cycle timer. www.amazon.com/BN-LINK-Period-Repeat-Intermittent-Interval/dp/B0184CG9K0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

My plug is set correctly but all the plugs are on at the same time

[@brianshefts902]

Make sure that the display shows Auto Off. It does not mean that the auto is actually off, but that you are in auto mode, but the outlet is off. You have to be out of the range when you do this. For example if you program on at 9am off at 11am. The auto display should say off before 9 or after 11. When it hits 9, it will show auto on and at 11 auto off.
