Easy-Clean Touch Light Switches
Flat and completely smooth, these switches are easy to wipe down. They’re rated NEMA 3R, so they seal out water that could damage the circuitry. They also won’t corrode from mild cleaning solutions. With just a light tap, you can switch lights on and off, even if you’re wearing gloves.
Switches with a stainless steel wall plate resist wear and tear better than switches with a plastic wall plate.

Multi-Way Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls

Control lights on a single circuit from more than one motion-sensing switch. Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls turn lights on when movement is detected and off when an area is unoccupied. The infrared sensors detect changes in heat sources and require a direct view of the occupants. Use up to four controls on the same circuit to detect motion in large rooms. All have a time delay to turn lights off after a set time.

Wall-Mount Timer Switches
Use these switches in place of standard wall switches to automatically turn electrical equipment on or off after a set interval of time. They’re often used with lights.
Switches with override can bypass the automatic shut-off.
Set switches with beep and light signals to alert when the timer is almost done; the signals can also be turned off.
Switches with set time recall retain the last setting; hold the button down to restart the timer with that setting.

Time-Delay Wall-Mount Timer Switches

Control two devices and delay the shut off of one device by up to one hour. These switches are often used with lights and fans for ventilation. All have an override that bypasses the automatic shut-off.

Outlet-Box-Mount Time and Day Activated Switches


Switches fit single device (1 gang) outlet boxes. Program them to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. They’re often used with lamps and other small electrical loads.
24-hour switches repeat the same program daily. Position trippers around the clock dial to set on and off times.
Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week. Use the astronomical timing to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset; this option can be used independently or in combination with timed programming.

Emergency Stop Outlet-Box-Mount Push-Button Switches

Immediately cut power with a single push. The large palm-sized buttons on these switches provide an easy target, so they're easy to use even while wearing gloves. When the button is depressed, the switch latches and can be locked in that position using a lockout or padlock with a 9/32” shackle diameter (not included). All have positive force contacts that will open the circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They're rated NEMA 13 and IP65 for protection from oil/coolant spraying and washdowns.

Ready-to-Use Steel Outlet Boxes
These boxes come ready to use with receptacles and/or light switches installed. Use the included plug-in connectors with wire leads to connect the receptacles and/or light switches. See information about NEMA straight-blade receptacles.
Outlet boxes with GFCIs (ground fault circuit interrupters) keep personnel safe from electric shock by adding ground fault protection.
Use outlet boxes with toggle or rocker switches to control lighting.
