Product Description
The BORG GENERAL CONTROLS ta4079 is a 24-hour electromechanical time clock designed for panel-mount installation in spa, hot tub, whirlpool, and bath control applications. It operates at 120 volts and 15 amps with an SPDT (single-pole, double-throw) switching configuration. The unit features five terminal tabs for straightforward wiring connections. A red-colored bezel surrounds the timer dial, providing a clear visual indicator on the control panel face. Licensed electricians and pool or spa service technicians are the primary installers of this type of timer in both residential and light-commercial environments.
This timer is suited for residential and light-commercial spa and hot tub control panels where a reliable 24-hour mechanical cycle is required. Typical applications include scheduling pump operation, heater cycles, and accessory circuits in whirlpool, bath, and spa systems. The panel-mount form factor allows direct installation into a standard control enclosure without additional hardware adapters. Its 15-amp rating covers the load demands of most single-speed spa pump motors and similar resistive or inductive loads.
Key Features
- 24-hour electromechanical cycle for repeatable daily scheduling
- SPDT switching configuration supports both normally-open and normally-closed load circuits
- Five terminal tabs simplify field wiring connections
- Panel-mount design installs directly into spa and hot tub control enclosures
- Red bezel provides clear visual identification of the timer dial on the panel face
- Rated for 120 volts and 15 amps to handle standard spa accessory loads
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement electromechanical timer for spa, hot tub, whirlpool, and bath control panels requiring a 24-hour SPDT panel-mount time clock at 120 volts.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified pool and spa service technician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the control panel before removing the existing timer or making any wiring connections. Verify that the load current does not exceed the 15-amp rating of the timer before energizing the circuit. Confirm terminal assignments against the control panel wiring diagram before applying power.
