Votatec Countdown Timer Switch

Automatically turn connected lights, fans and other compatible loads off after a selected period with the Votatec HET06-J Countdown Timer Switch. Six clearly labelled buttons provide convenient countdown options from 5 minutes to 4 hours.

Select the desired time and the connected load will remain on until the countdown expires. The large manual button provides immediate ON/OFF control and a hold-on function when continuous operation is needed.

No neutral wire is required, making this timer suitable for many existing single-pole switch locations where only line, load and ground wires are available.
