Spring-Wound Timer for 15-Minute Cycles
The Intermatic FD15MWC is a spring-wound timer switch that provides a mechanical timing range of 0 to 15 minutes. It uses a single-pole single-throw contact form to control one circuit. The unit is rated for 1 hp at 120 V and 2 hp at 240 V, making it suitable for motor loads in residential or light-commercial settings.
White Faceplate and Plastic Knob for Direct
The timer ships with a white faceplate and a plastic knob already fitted, so no separate cover or actuator is required. A single-gang opening accepts the device directly, and the knob allows manual setting without tools. Because there is no hold feature, the timer always returns to the off position once the wound interval expires.
CSA and UL Listed with 20 A at 125 VAC
The switch carries CSA and UL listings, confirming compliance with North American safety standards. It handles up to 20 A at 125 VAC and 10 A at both 250 VAC and 277 VAC, covering common single-phase voltages. Installers who need a maintained contact or a timing range beyond 15 minutes will require a different device.

Questions about this item
Does the spring mechanism in the FD15MWC require periodic replacement?
The timer is spring-wound with no hold feature, so the spring is manually rewound for each 15 minute cycle and has no scheduled replacement interval.
What electrical limit is reached first when running a load continuously at the 15 minute maximum setting?
The 20 amp limit at 125 VAC or 10 amp limit at 250 VAC will be reached before the 1 hp at 120 V or 2 hp at 240 V motor ratings.
How much heat or noise does the FD15MWC produce during an all-day sequence of 15 minute cycles?
The mechanical spring-wound design operates silently with no motor or electronics, so it generates negligible heat and no audible noise during repeated cycles.
