Outdoor Time and Day Activated Switches

24-Hour Timing Cycle

Seven-Day 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.

Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week. They have astronomical timing that can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.

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.

Outdoor High-Current Time and Day Activated Switches

Rated NEMA 3R, these rain-tight switches protect against falling liquids and light splashing. They control equipment with high currents, such as landscape lighting, pumps, and heaters. Program them to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. Position trippers around the clock dial to set on and off times.

24-hour switches repeat the same program daily.

Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week.

Switches with a day skipper can be programmed to skip operation for one to six days.

Additional trippers (sold separately) are sold in pairs that include one “on” tripper and one “off” tripper.

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

Rated NEMA 3R, these rain-tight switches protect against falling liquids and light splashing. More precise than other time and day switches, they program on/off times for equipment down to the exact minute. They control equipment with high currents, such as landscape lighting, pumps, and heaters. A backup battery maintains the program during a power outage.

24-hour switches repeat the same program daily.

Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week.

Seven-day/365-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week or year, and compensate for leap year and daylight savings time. Override regular programming for up to 99 holidays for any length of time. They can also be used to activate equipment such as bells and signals for just a few seconds.

Switches with astronomical timing can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.

Switches with a day skipper can be programmed to skip operation for one to six days.
