This NSi Industries EJWT percentage timer switch accepts 120/240 VAC input and its SPDT contacts can activate a 20 amp load or a 2 hp motor. It has 32 repeating cycle time set points that are user-selectable from 15 seconds to 24 hours; only one cycle time can be set. A second dial selects the percentage of time that power is On for the selected cycle; 32 settings for power On from 0 to 100 percent are available. The single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contacts are housed within a plastic enclosure for indoor use that meets NEMA-4X standards for water resistance. This timer switch is Underwriter Laboratories (UL) Listed and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certified for quality assurance and is suitable for a variety of electrically powered processes, such as livestock feeding or process control.
Automatic switches are used to turn on or off electrical devices and are activated by time, light, and motion. Time activated switches (also known as timers) operate at preset time intervals during a daily or weekly period and can be either mechanical or electronic. Mechanical timers feature a dial with multiple pins to set the on/off time intervals. Electronic timers feature an LCD display and pushbuttons to set the time intervals. Light activated switches (also known as optical or photo) operate when ambient light levels reach preset values, generally measured in foot candles. Motion-activated switches (also known as motion sensors) operate when an electronic field of a preset range is interrupted. These switches can include energy saving logic that uses combinations of time, light, and motion to operate and can include one or more device outlets or circuit contacts. Automatic switches are used to control indoor lights, outdoor lights, appliances, and small equipment motors.
