1–60 Minute Mechanical Timer: Automatic shut-off with no programming, no batteries, and no fuss
Ever left the extractor fan running all night or forgotten to switch off the water heater? A mechanical timer switch is the perfect permanent solution—simply turn the dial, and your appliance will run for your chosen duration before switching itself off automatically. No apps, no complex coding, and no batteries to replace.
Note: For appliances exceeding 2200W (e.g., large immersion heaters), you must use an additional relay or contactor within the circuit.
Why choose this model? (Key Benefits):
- 3-Second Setup — Just turn the dial to your desired time. No menus, no screens, and no configuration required.
- Guaranteed Automatic Cut-off — The circuit disconnects automatically when the time expires, ensuring zero wasted energy.
- Always ON Mode Included — Use it as a standard light switch whenever you don’t need the timer function.
- Versatile Installation — Suitable for standard wall back-boxes, electrical distribution boards, or as a portable unit with a plug and socket.
- Protects Li-ion Batteries — Set a fixed charging time for e-bikes, scooters, or laptops to prevent overcharging and extend battery life.
- Fire-Retardant ABS Casing — Heat-resistant and safe for domestic or semi-industrial environments, with a standard 86 x 86 mm footprint.
- Solid Copper Contacts — Provides minimal electrical resistance and long-term thermal stability, even under loads approaching the 10A limit.
Performance and Technical Details
At the heart of this timer is a precision spring-loaded mechanism—no electronics, no firmware, and no components prone to premature failure from power surges. Rotating the front dial winds the spring and triggers the countdown; once it reaches zero, the contact opens automatically, cutting power to the connected appliance.
The 86 x 86 mm housing fits directly into standard wall back-boxes and modular electrical panels. The rear cover insulates the terminals, eliminating the risk of accidental contact. It can directly control resistive and inductive loads up to 2200W / 10A at 250V AC, making it ideal for fans, lighting, small heaters, water pumps, or portable radiators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this timer for a 3000W water heater?
Not directly. The timer is rated for a maximum of 2200W / 10A. For higher loads, you must use an intermediate contactor or relay controlled by this timer.
Does it require batteries or an external power supply?
No. The mechanism is purely mechanical and spring-driven. There are no batteries, capacitors, or auxiliary power sources to replace.
Is it compatible with LED or fluorescent lighting?
Yes, it is compatible with all types of lighting—LED, incandescent, compact fluorescent, or tubes—provided the total load is within the 2200W limit.
Can I use it to charge my electric scooter or e-bike?
Yes, it is highly recommended for this purpose. Setting a fixed charging time helps prevent overcharging your Li-ion batteries, which helps maintain their health and longevity.
Does it fit in place of a standard wall switch?
Yes. The 86 x 86 mm dimensions are standard for most wall back-boxes. The rear cover and mounting screws are included in the box.
What if I want to turn off the device before the time is up?
Simply rotate the dial back towards the 0 position. The mechanism allows for manual adjustment at any point during the countdown.
