Tork Timers 8601T Timer
The Tork 8601T mechanical cycle timer is a versatile field-grade solution designed for repeat cycle operations in HVACR and industrial control systems. Engineered with a 20A 120V SPDT contact configuration, this 60-minute interval timer allows for precise tactical control over duty cycling for equipment such as ventilating fans, pumping systems, and process controls. The unit utilizes 60 captive tabs, each representing 1-minute increments, providing contractors the flexibility to set up to 30 on/off operations per hour. With a robust NEMA 1 metal enclosure and a high-torque 3-watt motor, this repeating variable cycle time switch is built for consistent performance in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 165°F.
Key Benefits
- Precision Duty Cycling: Features a 60-minute dial with 1-minute captive tabs for highly granular control of 120V mechanical timer operations.
- High Amperage Capacity: Rated for 20 Amp resistive loads and 3/4 HP motor loads at 120VAC, making it compatible with heavy-duty air circulators and pumps.
- Dual Load Switching: The Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) action allows for the alternating control of two separate loads from a single timing source.
- Industrial Grade Build: Housed in a lockable NEMA 1 indoor metal case with 1/2" and 3/4" knockouts for simplified conduit integration.
Common Questions
Can this timer be used to alternate between two different fans?
Yes. Because it uses SPDT contacts, load 1 is closed when tabs are inward and load 2 is closed when tabs are outward, allowing for seamless alternation between two devices.
What is the minimum timing interval for this unit?
The Tork 8601T allows for a 1-minute minimum ON or OFF setting using the captive tabs located on the 60-minute dial.
Is this unit suitable for outdoor installation?
This specific model is housed in a NEMA 1 indoor enclosure. For outdoor applications, the mechanism would require a NEMA 3R rated housing to protect against environmental ingress.
