Mechanical Vs. Digital Timer Switches in Application
08th Feb 2022
Whether you need to turn on and off various appliances, such as water fountains or pool pumps, a timer switch can help you save on your energy bills. There are many uses for time switches, including reducing the likelihood of burglary. Mechanical timers use dials and time switches to set the timing. In contrast, digital timers use electronic timers that require no manual input. GEYA offers several models of digital timer switches, each with similar functions. Both the digital and the mechanical timer switches are available in both switch and plug-in modules. The differences are minor compared to their functions. The mechanical timer is more bulky and able to handle more electric load. The latter is more aesthetic and small. The mechanical timer is also limited to 24 hours of operation, while the digital one is flexible enough to control up to seven days a week.

If you’ve ever wondered what a mechanical time switch is, you aren’t alone. You can even choose a heavy-duty mechanical time switch that’s great for industrial, commercial, or residential use. Its heavy-duty design is ideal for loads up to 40 amps resistive to 125-volts and provides direct 24-hour time switch control of most loads. The timers all come with OFF/ON trippers and have a single-pole, single-throw, 40 amp, or 4000-watt capacity. The circuitry in a mechanical time switch is similar to a small appliance. The […]
