If you have a battery operated timer like Intermatic ST01C, it may not operate another timer.
The ST01C will not operate circuits farther away than 100 feet, or operate when wires are located underground. Sounds peculiar doesn't it.
I assume these parameters are because of how the battery interacts with electronics inside the timer.
On the other hand, maybe your battery is getting weak.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-st01c.pdfThe manual shows incandescent, fluorescent, motors and DC loads.
But manual doesn't specifically include or exclude other electronic devices that might put electronic feedback on the line.
I'll run a test on the ST01C next couple days, and post result on this thread.
