40 A 125 VAC Electromechanical Timer

This Intermatic timer provides 24-hour scheduling for loads up to 40 amps at 125 volts AC. The DPST contact form switches two poles simultaneously, making it suitable for controlling pumps, heaters or lighting circuits in residential and light-commercial settings.

Surface-Mount Steel Enclosure Installation

The NEMA 3R steel box with gray enamel finish is designed for surface mounting and includes two captive trippers for basic on/off programming. A minimum setting of 1 hour and maximum of 23 hours limits fine-grained schedules, and the 12-cycle daily cap prevents rapid cycling applications.

Verify Voltage, Amperage and Tripper Needs

Confirm the supply is 125 VAC and the connected load does not exceed 40 amps or 2 hp at 120 V / 5 hp at 240 V. The timer operates from -40 to 156 degrees Fahrenheit, and extra trippers use part number 2E054 if more than two on/off events per day are required.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the timer is running correctly after wiring it to a 125 VAC circuit?

After installation, set the dial to the desired on/off times using the included trippers and observe the connected load switching at those points; the unit supports up to 12 on/off cycles per 24-hour period.

What ships with the timer and what must be purchased separately?

The steel NEMA 3R enclosure with gray enamel finish comes with two trippers installed; additional trippers are available separately as part number 2E054.

Which timing range should I select for a schedule that runs longer than 12 hours but less than a full day?

The electromechanical dial offers a minimum setting of 1 hour and a maximum of 23 hours, so any schedule within that window can be programmed directly.
