Fairchild 555 Timer Configuration

Try it on another outlet, like in a dark bedroom without GFCI.
Buy another outdoor dawn-dusk timer.
Timers can be damaged by simple power outage, when power resumes there is a surge.
Timers stop working because the photo eye goes bad, or tiny 555 chip goes bad, etc.

More information is needed.
For example, a) what voltage timer is needed, b) what Load are you controlling and c) how does timer mount?

Easiest solution is 60 minute repeat cycle timer.
Timer knobs are adjusted, or the timer dial rotates once per hour and 20 minute timing cycle repeats each hour. The cycle repeats 24-7-365.
If you want the cycle to operate certain hours of the day, another 24 hour timer can be installed in-line.

You posted next to a photo showing hydrofarm analog timer with segments located on dial face.
Open following link for general look at setting analog timers.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-set-timers.html

Analog timers have a minimum set time of 15 minutes because the trippers-or-pins-or-segments are made certain width.
If you want 1 minute ON and 5 minutes OFF, you need digital timer.
Most digital timers have minimum set time of 1 minute.
But digital timers have limited number of set points per day unless you get into heavy-duty Intermatic timer like the ET70115 timer with 100 or so set points.

If you want 1 minute on and then 5 minutes off, and want to repeat that same cycle over and over throughout the day and night, you would need 240 set points.
Or check out 120V adjustable cycle timers.

If you want the cycle timer to operate certain hours only, then put ordinary 24-hour timer between the cycle timer and the load.

A search of prince channel site for 735 timer sent me to the 740 timer >> their other models wer 755 and 840

Here's the prince castle page:
http://www.princecastle.com/products/timers_740series_single-display.asp

Here's the 2 instruction guides:
740 horizontal
740 vertical

The timer is a multi-channel countdown timer which means it can control multiple electrical devices separate from each other
Set the french fry cooker to tun on for 5 minutes
Set the dryer to come on for 10 minutes
Set the blower to come on for 1 hour
Set each item for different lengths of time
The item with least amount of time left shows on the screen

To program timer
Press and hold Prince Castle logo for six seconds
Time displays will change from " ----" to "PROG"

Press timer channel to be programmed
LED indicator light will turn yellow and beep will sound

Current programmed time will display (for example it might show 5 minutes 20 seconds)
Time value will indicate either H:M (hours-minutes) or M:S (minutes-second)

Press SCAN/UP arrow or SCAN/DOWN arrow to change program time
These arrows are located next to Prince Castle logo

If you want H:M instead of M:S, then press and hold SCAN/UP button
When display reaches 59:59 it will automatically change to 1:00 Hour
LED indicator light switches from M:S to H:M

Now you programmed first channel, click next channel and repeat steps above

To FINISH programming, press Prince Castle logo for a moment, and programs are saved

that is not a problem. I copied the instructions straight from the manual which you can also review by clicking here.
Using the clock and timer.
To Set the Clock The clock must be set to the correct time of day for the automatic oven timing functions to work properly. The time of day cannot be changed during a timed baking or self-cleaning cycle. Press the CLOCK pad. Press the HOUR and MIN + or – pads to set the time of day. Press the START pad. Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. To Set the Timer Press the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad. Press the HOUR and MIN + or – pads until the amount of time you want shows in the display. The maximum time you can enter in minutes is 59. Cooking times more than 59 minutes should be changed to hours and minutes. For example, enter 90 minutes as 1 hour, 30 minutes. If you make a mistake, press KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF and begin again. Press the START pad. After pressing the START pad, SET disappears; this tells you the time is counting down, although the display does not change until one minute has passed. Seconds will not be shown in the display until the last minute is counting down. When the timer reaches :00, the control will beep 3 times followed by one beep every 6 seconds until the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad is pressed. The 6-second tone can be canceled by following the steps in the Special features of your oven control section under Tones at the End of a Timed Cycle. The timer is a minute timer only. The timer does not control oven operations. The maximum setting on the timer is 9 hours and 59 minutes. To Reset the Timer If the display is still showing the time remaining, you may change it by pressing the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad, then press the HOUR and MIN + or – pads until the time you want appears in the display. If the remaining time is not in the display (clock, delay start or cooking time are in the display), recall the remaining time by pressing the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad and then pressing the HOUR and MIN + or – pads to enter the new time you want. To Cancel the Timer Press KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF pad twice.
