What Is A Time Switch?

A time switch, also called a timer control, is a device used to turn on or off any machine at a certain time; for example, a light. It has a built-in mechanical or electronic timer that controls the lighting system so that it turns on and off at certain times of the day. 

Various devices that need to turn on and off at specific times throughout the day, such as water pumps, ventilation systems, indoor and outdoor lighting, fans, poultry equipment, residential buildings, commercial buildings, and other devices, use time switches. As everything is done automatically, there is no need for anyone to remember to flip the switch repeatedly during the day.

These switches can activate the devices every day, every week, or every year at specific times. The ability of the devices to automatically turn ON and OFF at predetermined times without human intervention allows for energy savings and lowers electricity costs.

How Does A Time Switch Work?

Time Switch can be set up very quickly and according to your timing preferences. It can easily be plugged into the socket connected to a direct power supply. You may also get a cover with the switch that gives instructions on using it and its rating limits. 

Additionally, the switch has a dial for setting the time and maintaining it like any other watch. The dial activates the device and turns it on and off at the set time. 

These switches come in two varieties: electronic and mechanical. The electronic switches are set to turn on and off at fixed times, whereas the mechanical switches have a limited number of time settings.
