The manual is not specific how to confirm the program settings ... other than maybe connecting the load and seeing if it turns on-off as programmed.
Don't forget to reset timer before programming.

4 station timer help

Copy following link to help identify timer:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#sprinkler
Most major brands are linked here, including manuals for each.
Some brands such as yardworks, etc, repackage other brands and have no online support or clear resolution for warranty claim.
Open link, then add a comment with brand and model and voltage so expert can access same manual.
Replace battery. Reset timer. Check if unit is getting power. Check if outlet has correct polarity. Are some basic troubleshoot steps.
Most timers have 1 year limited warranty, and timer that came with used house may no longer be functioning. Or the sprinkler hear has gone bad.
For replacement, I think Intermatic mechanical sprinkler timers are better value than digital timers, since the mechanicals have repair motors and trippers and can last 25 years.

How do I set in Automatic mode, seems to only work manually since loss of power?

1) Power outage is major cause of timer failure. Power surge occurs when power is restored, and electronics are susceptible to surge. This includes water softerer, treadmill, electronic water heater, timers, etc.
Timers should be unplugged when power goes off.
Of all timers on market today, only one instruction manual says to unplug timer with power loss. However many people write fixya saying their timer, and electronic water heater control etc stopped functioning after power loss. Probably other products have same problem, but I work with timers and water heaters and see only that slice of the world.

2) Question posted under Woods 59377.
Several timers look identical or similar.
59377 timer has non-replaceable rechargeable battery, some similar timers have AA battery.
If timer has battery, change battery.
Then reset timer to restore functionality. Press reset button for a few seconds with paper clip.

3) If timer function does not restore after reset, then timer is bad.
Buy similar timer at Lowes or Target, and return defective timer in new package.

4) If function is restored, then re-program timer
Open following link for timer instructions showing how to reset timer and re-program timer:

How to bypass mtd8

To permanently bypass the timer, you have to move wiring.
I don't have specific wiring diagram or programming manual for mtda8 timer, but am familiar with wiring din-rail mounted digital timers.

1) Wiring is typical across all din-rail timers, with variations of same theme depending on number of channels and purpose.
2) Open following illustration of wiring:
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/DIN-series-wiring-300.jpg
Same-similar illustration shows on side of timer.

3) Notice the mtda8 has 5 screw terminals.
4) Two screws are for incoming power. These terminals are usually labeled 1 and 2. These wires power the timer.

5) Three more screws are for the timing relay. These screws are usually labeled 3 4 and 5.
Typically the #4 center screw is common, and carries power. And when timer is ON, power is live between #4 and #3 terminal. When timer is OFF, power is live between #4 and #5 terminal.

6) Move #3 wire to #4 or #5 screw and then the timer function is bypassed.

How do I set the time on the Sunbeam 6 Robinson Home Digital Timer? Thanks, Travis

I do not have instructions for 61048 sunbeam timer

1) Add a comment and say exactly say what buttons are on timer face, and I will find same/similar timer if possible.

2) I might also be able to intuit possible programming.
Most simple timers are 24 hour, and you push and hold a button and then press up or down button to set current time, and then press buttons to set ON time and then OFF time.

3) I have extensive files on timers, and most timers are made by a major manufacturer and then sold under different brands and numbers:
Open following link and see if timer button match any shown.
