Intermatic SW30MWK 30-Minute Spring Wound Timer

This mechanical timer operates with a simple wind and set action, offering a dependable way to manage energy use without drawing power from the circuit it controls. The device is designed to enhance efficiency in homes and small workplaces while keeping operation straightforward and maintenance light.

Crafted to fit standard wall switch setups, including single and multi-gang configurations, it provides a versatile means to automate loads such as lights, fans, motors, and heaters. With a 30 minute off interval, you can establish a predictable window for activation and shutoff, reducing unnecessary run times without the need for a smart hub or battery backup.

Key benefits at a glance

How it works

Wind the timer and set the dial to a 30 minute window. When the interval ends, the circuit turns off the connected load. Because this is a spring wound device, it operates without consuming electricity itself, which can simplify some installations and reduce standby draw.
