Timer Switches

Power-Saving Panel-Mount Timer Switches

Push and release the button to activate—no electricity required.

Panel-Mount Timer Switches

Install these switches in a panel cutout to automatically turn electrical equipment on or off after a set interval.

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.

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.

High-Current Wall-Mount Timer Switches

Control equipment with high currents such as air conditioners, heaters, and ventilation fans.

High-Visibility Timer Switches

The large face makes these switches easy to read from a distance.

Timer Switches

Automatically turn electrical equipment on or off after a set interval.

Time and Day Activated Switches

Program these switches to turn a device on and off at a set time and day.

Outdoor Time and Day Activated Switches

Designed to work with landscape and security lighting.

Surface/DIN-Rail Mount Time
and Day Activated Switches

Mount these switches to a flat surface or attach to DIN rail.

Panel-Mount Time and Day Activated Switches

Install these switches in a panel cutout.

Outlet-Box-Mount Time and Day Activated Switches

Switches fit single device (1 gang) outlet boxes.

High-Current Time and Day Activated Switches

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

Panel-Mount Set-to-the-Minute
Time and Day Activated Switches

Install these switches in a panel cutout.

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

Mount these switches to a flat surface or attach to DIN rail.

Outdoor High-Current Time and Day Activated Switches

Rated NEMA 3R, these rain-tight switches protect against falling liquids and light splashing.

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.

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.

Low-Current Timer Relays

DIN-Rail Mount Multifunction Timer Relays

Control multiple timing functions from your electrical cabinet—these timer relays mount to 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail), which is the most commonly used size.

Dual-Channel DIN-Rail Mount
Multifunction Timer Relays

Control two steps of an electrical process from a single relay—with two fully independent channels and 30 different functions, these relays give you a wide range of possibilities.

Long-Life DIN-Rail Mount Multifunction Timer Relays

With no moving parts, these solid state relays have an extended service life.

Ultra-Thin DIN-Rail Mount Multifunction Timer Relays

Maximize space inside your control cabinet.

Socket-Mount Multifunction Timer Relays

Plug these multifunction timer relays into relay sockets for fast installation and replacement.

Compact Socket-Mount Multifunction Timer Relays

Smaller than standard multifunction timer relays, these relays save space in your control cabinet.

Versa-Mount Multifunction Timer Relays

Install relays in a panel cutout or plug into a relay socket.

Long-Life Surface-Mount Timer Relays

With no moving parts, these solid state relays have an extended service life.

Surface-Mount Timer Relays

Use the mounting hole to attach these relays to a flat surface.

Socket-Mount Timer Relays

Plug these timer relays into relay sockets for fast installation and replacement.

Wide-Range Socket-Mount Timer Relays

Postpone starts longer and set wider intervals than with most timer relays.

DIN-Rail Mount Timer Relays

Mount these relays directly to DIN rail.

Versa-Mount Timer Relays

Install these relays in a panel cutout or plug into a relay socket.

Medium-Current Timer Relays

Also known as power relays, these relays are rated for 1 horsepower or 30 amps and are suitable for compressors, blowers, and heaters.

Programmable Logic Controllers

Compact Programmable Logic Controllers

Smaller than other PLCs, these controllers save space in your control cabinet. They combine the functionality of a relay, timer relay, and switch in one unit, so you can program simple automation jobs.

Easy-Program Logic Controllers

Design and operate up to six simultaneous programs without symbols or technical language—the on-screen instructions use simple English.

Expansion Modules for Programmable Logic Controllers

No need to program multiple PLCs—these modules expand your automated system, keeping everything conjoined and configured on one processor. Use them when you’re out of space on your DIN rail or need additional input/output functions.
