Southwire Coleman Cable 59101WD 40A Mechanical Timer

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 59101WD is a heavy duty indoor mechanical timer designed for industrial and commercial electrical control applications. Built around a robust gear train and a lockable metal enclosure, this single-pole, single-throw (SPST) timer provides reliable scheduled switching for motors, lighting, and other loads. It is rated for 2 HP, 24 full-load amps (FLA), and operates at 120 volts / 60 Hz. The DPST configuration supports 40A general use, 40A tungsten, and 20A ballast circuits, making it suitable for demanding load types encountered in trade installations.

This timer is intended for indoor use in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty residential settings. Electricians and maintenance technicians install the 59101WD where dependable time-based load control is required — such as motor control panels, lighting circuits, irrigation pump controls, and HVAC accessory switching. The lockable metal box protects internal components and prevents unauthorized schedule changes. Conduit entry and exit are accommodated by pre-punched 0.5-inch and 0.75-inch knockouts built into the enclosure.

Key Features

• Up to 24 on/off settings per day for flexible daily programming
• Segment pins permanently attached to the timer dial to prevent loss during reprogramming
• Manual override on/off switch for immediate load control without altering the programmed schedule
• Lockable metal enclosure for tamper resistance and component protection
• 0.5-inch and 0.75-inch knockouts for standard conduit entry and exit
• Heavy duty gear train rated for continuous industrial cycle duty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial mechanical timer for indoor electrical panel and enclosure installations where SPST, DPST-rated time switching is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before wiring. Secure conduit to the enclosure knockouts using appropriate connectors rated for the conduit type and size. Confirm load ratings for the connected circuit do not exceed the timer's rated 40A general use, 40A tungsten, or 20A ballast limits before energizing.
