WALL-MOUNTABLE TIMER FOR AN ELECTRICAL LOAD

摘要

A wall-mountable electrical timer for controlling the delivery of power f rom an AC power source to an electrical load, such as a lamp or a fan motor, includes: a timer adjustment actuator for selecting a predetermined time pe riod of operation for the load; a toggle actuator for starting the timer, tu rning off the timer, and placing the timer in a bypass mode of operation; a vertical linear array of light-emitting diode visual indicators for indicati ng the length of a predetermined time period, the time remaining, and whethe r the timer is in the bypass mode; a controllably conductive device for regu lating the delivery of power from the AC source to the load; and a controlle r for receiving inputs from the timer adjustment actuator and the toggle act uator, and for transmitting outputs to the visual indicators and the control lably conductive device.
