High-Current Time and Day Activated Switches

Control equipment with high currents such as landscape lighting, pumps, and heaters. Program these switches 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.

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.

Time and Day Activated Switches

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.

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.

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.

Smartphone-Programmable Time and Day Activated Switches

Remotely program these switches via bluetooth signal with a smartphone, tablet, or PC to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. They’re often used with lighting, pumps, and filters. All have a 24-hour/seven-day/365-day timing cycle that can repeat the same program daily or perform a different program each day of the week or year. They compensate for leap year and daylight savings time. A PIN code is required to prevent unauthorized tampering with settings. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings.

Two-circuit switches can apply a different program to each circuit. They have astronomical timing that can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.
