Grasslin FM/6 Digi 42 Timer

[par 36]

Has anyone had success with using Grasslin Digi 42 timer in an area where weather will get below sub zero? Or is there a reliable non-digital plug in timer on the market?

Also what is an integrated light control module?

The spec on the Digi 42 is 0 to 140 degrees F (-18 to 60 degrees C). I have not had a problem with low temperature (climate zone 7) but very high temperatures blank the LCD screen. I have found that an ice cube placed against the screen will return the screen to normal.

My problem with mechanical clocks is detailed in the post "control systems: dusk to timed off" in this forum.

An integrated control module refers to a built-in Digi 42 i.e. within the transformer case. The Digi 42 is a direct replacement for a Grasslin mechanical clock.

You might want to search "Digi 42" on the site.

Thank you Sitelights for your informative response to my post?s. Does the Grasslin T6 digital plug in timer have the same features that the Digi 42 and has anyone experience any problems with plug in?s, versus hard wire type?

I have used several of the T-6 Timers as replacments and upgrades for plug in transformer models without any problems. I have ordered them by the Hadco T-6 timer model number, I haved wondered who makes the timer? The T-6 has to be switched for Daylight savings time and requires batteries for operation, the Grasslin 42 doesn't. I feel that the T-6 is overpriced, the Intermatic unit has the same features for half the cost. The Intermatic unit must be mounted to the side of the GFI circuit and the transformer pluged into it. I feel that the Grasslin 42 is not even in the same field, it's far superior unit but you will have to pay for that.
