About Timing Functions

24-Hour Timing Cycle

Program these switches to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. They have a three-prong outlet to plug devices directly into the switch. Use with lamps and other small electrical loads. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings.

24-hour switches repeat the same program daily.

Switches with trippers are programmed by setting on and off times by positioning trippers around the clock dial.

Outdoor Time and Day Activated Switches

24-Hour Timing Cycle

Designed to work with landscape lighting and filter pumps, these switches turn equipment on and off at a set time and day. They control two devices at once, and have three-prong outlets to plug devices directly into the switch. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings.

24-hour switches repeat the same program daily. Position trippers around the clock dial to set on and off times.

Switches with light sensor control allow one device to be controlled by the presence or absence of light.

NEMA 3R rated switches are protected against falling liquids and light splashing.

Surface/DIN-Rail Mount Set-to-the-Minute Time and Day Activated Switches

24-Hour Timing Cycle

Mount these switches to a flat surface or attach to DIN rail. More precise than other time and day switches, they program on/off times for equipment down to the exact minute. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings. A backup battery maintains the program during a power outage.

24-hour switches repeat the same program daily. They control two circuits and can apply a different program to each circuit.

Set-to-the-Minute High-Current Time and Day Activated Switches

For precise control of high-current equipment such as landscape lighting, pumps, and heaters, these switches schedule on/off times to the exact minute. A backup battery or capacitor maintains the program during a power outage.

Two-circuit switches can apply a different program to each circuit.

Digital Timers

Timers with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST have been tested to NIST standards to ensure accuracy.

Timers with a memory function automatically return the display to the last programmed time. Good for timing repetitive intervals.

IP65-rated timers protect against dust and low-pressure washdowns. They also resist impacts up to 4 ft.
