SANTA CLARA, CA - The Watt Stopper's TS-400 series digital time switches automatically turn lights off after a preset, user-selectable time out setting. The switches, available in both line and low voltage models, feature terminal style wiring for easy installation and offer users convenient push-button control without the nuisance of twist timers. The TS-400 (low voltage) and TS-400-24 (line voltage) replace existing wall switches. Users press the ON/OFF button to turn lights on. The switch counts down the time from the preset time-out period (5 minutes to 12 hours) and turns lights off when the time expires. Users can turn lights off during the countdown using the ON/OFF button. An LCD indicates time remaining and an optional alert warns occupants of impending shut-off. A time scroll option allows users to scroll up or down through the possible time-out periods, temporarily overriding the time-out period. Setting the time-out for two hours and time scroll to down allows for California's Title 24 compliance for using override switches.

The ZonexCommander communicates remotely with 1-80 rooftops, units, splits, or zones, providing the contractor with a product that fills a large and profitable void between programmable thermostats and energy management systems.
