Key Features
-
Convenient plug-in design: TN311C plugs into a standard 120 V wall outlet and includes a grounded 3-prong receptacle — no wiring required.
-
3 ON / 3 OFF settings per day: Set up to three on/off cycles per 24 hours using removable trippers; you can expand to more cycles if needed with additional trippers.
-
Minimum 30-minute ON/OFF increment: Great for appliances that don’t need minute-level precision but benefit from timed control — such as space heaters, fans, AC units, or holiday lighting.
-
Heavy-duty load capacity: Rated for 15 A (resistive), supporting resistive, tungsten (incandescent), ballast, or small motor loads — up to about 1/3 HP at 125 VAC.
-
Manual override: A built-in manual override lets you bypass the timer schedule easily without uninstalling or re-programming — ideal for maintenance, testing, or temporary manual control.
-
Compact and easy to relocate: With dimensions around 3.1″ × 3.0″ × 2.0″, the TN311C is small enough for tight spaces and easy to move between outlets or locations.
