    24-Hr. Timing Cycle

    7-Day 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-Hr. Timing Cycle—24-hr. switches repeat the same program daily.
    7-Day Timing Cycle—Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week.
    Astronomical Timing—Switches with astronomical timing can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.
    Timing-Adjustment Tripper—Switches with trippers are programmed by setting on and off times by positioning trippers around the clock dial.

    24-Hr. Timing Cycle

    7-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-Hr. Timing Cycle—24-hr. switches repeat the same program daily. Position trippers around the clock dial to set on and off times.
    7-Day Timing Cycle—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.
    NEMA 3R Enclosure Rating—NEMA 3R rated switches are protected against falling liquids and light splashing.
    Light Sensor Control—Switches with light sensor control allow one device to be controlled by the presence or absence of light.

    Smart Time and Day Activated Switches

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains MultipleImages. Timer Switches. Smart Time and Day Activated Switches.
    Use your smart phone to turn equipment on and off at a set time and day. These switches connect to your phone via NFC (near field communication) and work with a free app to set schedules, adjust settings, and save programs. They can perform a different program each day of the week, and they compensate for leap year and daylight savings time. You can remotely apply programs across compatible switches, so it’s easy to reprogram lighting or equipment in large facilities. These switches mount to a flat surface or attach to DIN rail.
    Astronomical Timing—Switches with astronomical timing can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.
