Intermatic T1975 24-hour timer
The Intermatic T1975 is an electromechanical timer rated for 120V AC and 20 A with a single-pole double-throw contact. It suits residential or light-commercial circuits that need daily on-off control for loads up to 1/2 hp at 120V or 1 hp at 240V. The steel NEMA 1 enclosure and -40 to +130 °F operating range make it viable for indoor or sheltered outdoor installations.
Wiring and tripper setup
Installation requires connecting line and load to the SPDT terminals inside the steel case; the 5 in width and 3 in depth fit standard junction boxes. The dial accepts 96 included trippers for up to 48 on-off cycles per day with a minimum 15 min setting and a maximum 23-3/4 hr setting. Misplacing trippers or exceeding the 20 A rating are the most common wiring errors.
Mechanical daily-cycle limits
The timer repeats every 24 hours and cannot skip days or store multiple schedules beyond the single dial. It lacks a battery backup, so power interruptions stop the motor and lose the current time position. The 48-cycle daily maximum and fixed 15 min resolution restrict use to applications that tolerate coarse, repetitive timing.
