Mist King for Dummies?

[bluesox68]

Obviously the book in title doesn't exist and its embarrassing but my wife and I are having a hard time programming our new mist king. Its awesome and I've been able to turn it on every 2 hours so my new cham stays hydrated but the instructions don't make sense to me. I haven't found a youtube video that's talks just about the timer either. it's the new st-24 timer. Does anyone know where to find an easier explanation to program it. Worst case I will find customer support tomorrow. Thanks

First you set the current time then when your setting up the mist schedule you set the different start times and duration you want it to run each cycle. It's a little confusing because most timers you set a start and end time.

youtube the timer and hopefully someone put a video up that you can follow. That's how I programmed my aquazamp timer. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks. I've checked youtube and couldn't find any. What's confusing is the P1,P2 ect, I have the time set and days of the week but you're right, no on off or start stop from what I can see.

Under each program number P1, P2....the first set of numbers is your start time, second set is duration. Example, if you want it set for 1 minute 45 seconds enter. 00:01 45

Here are a few pictures....

Set for 11am, 45 seconds

Set for 1pm, 1 minute 45 seconds

Set for 3pm, 4minutes 30 seconds

@Peachypink Thank you for those pictures. I have a new MistKing timer and didn't bother to set it up because it just didn't seem straight forward. I emailed Marty and he wasn't a whole lot of help. Maybe if I had even started to set it up I would have figured it out, but the instructions didn't make a whole lot of sense so I used one of my extra timers that I do know how to set up, leaving the MistKing timer in a pile on my desk. Thanks.

I had Jim right out the instructions for me in a way that normal, non rocket scientists people can follow. See if they help you!
