Description
The Intermatic Electronic 7-Day Time Switch automatically
switches 2 loads independently according to a preset weekly
schedule with to-the-minute accuracy. This time switch is
designed to directly switch resistive or inductive loads up to 30
amps at 24, 120 or 240 volts and to switch tungsten or ballast
loads up to the time switch rating. For use as a control timer in
applications requiring 7-day load control such as lighting,
heating, air conditioning systems, pumps, etcetera. Up to 20 (10
ON/10 OFF or any combination or 20 momentary pulse
operating) can be preset. These set points can be programmed
for any or all 7 days to provide for up to 140 set points or pulse
operations each week. Independent 2 load 7 day programming
provides complete flexibility for applications where load switching
differs each day of the week. The program can be overridden by
selecting the MANUAL position.
