POWER 12+2 Contactor Timer Panel – 12 Way Contactor Board

Switch twelve heavy loads from one timer, without burning it out

The POWER 12+2 Contactor Timer Panel schedules up to 12 appliances together from a single 24-hour segment timer. A built-in contactor does the actual switching, so the timer's own contacts never carry the load, and the panel is rated for a combined 40A maximum - built for grow rooms running several lights or other high inductive loads. Two extra sockets marked FAN are untimed and stay live around the clock for extraction and air circulation.

Key Benefits

• 12 timed outlets switched together from one timer.
• 2 untimed FAN outlets that keep extraction running through lights-off.
• Contactor switching stops timer contact burnout with high inductive loads such as ballasts and LED drivers.
• 96 x 15-minute segments across 24 hours, with timed, continuously on and continuously off settings.
• 40A maximum combined load for a full room of equipment.

Why Grow Lights Need a Contactor

Plug several ballasts or LED drivers straight into an ordinary plug-in timer and the inrush current at every switch-on pits and welds its contacts. Sooner or later the lights stick on or refuse to start, and an unreliable photoperiod stresses plants and throws out the whole schedule. A contactor panel sends that current through a heavy-duty relay instead, so the timer only has to give the signal and your light cycle stays on time.

How to Use

• Hard-wired only: this is an electrical component that must be connected by a qualified electrician directly to a suitable supply from your distribution board. It cannot be fitted with a plug and run from a wall socket.
• Set the light period by pushing down the timer segments, each worth 15 minutes.
• Choose timed, continuously on or continuously off on the timer.
• Plug lights into the 12 timed outlets and fans into the 2 FAN outlets.
• Keep the combined load within 40A.
