1800W Single-Pole Timer Switch
The Eaton PT18M-BK is a single-pole timer switch rated for 1800W at 120V AC. It controls incandescent, halogen, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and LED lighting loads. It also handles 1/4 hp motor loads such as bathroom fans.
No Neutral Wire Required
Installation is simplified because no neutral connection is needed, making it suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects. The device fits any standard decorator wall plate and replaces a regular single-pole switch. Wiring follows typical single-pole connections using line, load and ground conductors.
Fixed Preset Minute Intervals
The timer offers five default countdown settings of 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes with two programming modes for custom preset groups. It does not support hour-based delays, second-level precision or continuous on/off scheduling. Loads exceeding 1800W or 15 amps are outside the rated capacity.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the timer switch is operating correctly after installation?
After wiring, press one of the five preset buttons — 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes — and confirm the connected load turns on and then shuts off automatically when the chosen interval elapses.
What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?
The package contains the timer switch itself; a decorator-style wall plate is not included and must be bought separately to complete the installation.
Which preset timing version should I choose for my application?
This single model offers five built-in minute settings — 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 — selectable at the push of a button, so no alternate version or capacity needs to be chosen.
