Southwire Coleman Cable 59746WD Outdoor Photoelectric Timer

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 59746WD is a 24-hour outdoor photoelectric timer with wireless remote control, designed for controlling exterior lighting and low-draw devices. The integrated photocell automatically detects dusk or darkness and turns connected devices on, while the programmable schedule turns them off at dusk-dawn, or 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours after dusk. Settings repeat daily without manual intervention. Rated at 12 volts and 8.3 amps, the 59746WD provides three outlets and is built with a weatherproof enclosure suited for outdoor installation. Electricians and lighting technicians are the primary installers.

The 59746WD is intended for residential outdoor applications including yard lighting, patio lighting, and seasonal holiday decorations. It is also compatible with lamps, fans, rope lights, and small fountain pumps. The wireless remote control adds convenience for locations where physical access to the timer is limited, such as high eaves, fence posts, or landscaped areas. The daily-repeat scheduling makes it well suited for permanent exterior lighting installations that require consistent dusk-based automation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC guidelines. Power to the circuit should be shut off at the breaker panel before connecting the timer. Ensure the mounting location provides adequate exposure for the photocell to detect ambient light changes accurately, and avoid positioning the unit near artificial light sources that could interfere with dusk sensing. Confirm all connected load ratings do not exceed the timer's rated capacity before energizing.
