Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum electrical life of the GT5P timer?
The mechanical life is 20,000,000 operations minimum, and the electrical life is 100,000 operations minimum (at rated load).
Can I use these timers with different voltage systems?
Yes, they support multiple voltages, including 100 to 120V AC, 200 to 240V AC, and 24V AC/DC.
How does the reset time work when power is removed before the timer reaches its set point?
The maximum reset time when turning power off before the time up is 1 second.
What types of loads can the GT5P timers handle?
They are rated for various inductive and resistive loads, such as 960VA AC (resistive load) or 120W DC.
