Tork Timers 1101 Timer

The Tork 1101 24-hour electromechanical time switch is a staple for HVACR contractors requiring high-amperage control in a simplified 120V mechanical timer format. Engineered with a heavy-duty synchronous motor, this 40 Amp SPST time switch manages inductive loads up to 2 HP at 120VAC, making it suitable for pumps, water heaters, and signage. The unit is housed in a rugged NEMA 1 metal enclosure featuring a lockable hasp and combination 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch knockouts for efficient conduit entry.

Installation is streamlined with a removable movement that snaps into the case, and the terminal range accepts #8 to #14 AWG wiring to accommodate standard field connections. The 24-hour dial supports up to 12 pairs of trippers, allowing for recurring ON/OFF cycles with a minimum ON setting of 20 minutes and a minimum OFF setting of 75 minutes. For immediate circuit testing or manual adjustments, the integrated manual override lever permits state changes without disrupting the long-term programmed schedule.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• High Contact Rating: Rated for 40 Amps General Purpose/Resistive and 40 Amps Tungsten at 120VAC, providing robust switching capacity for large electrical loads.
• Industrial Durability: The Tork Timers 1101 features a wide operating temperature range from -40° to +165°F, ensuring reliable timing motor performance in various indoor environments.
• Serviceable Design: Mechanical components are designed for longevity, and the internal motor bridge is removable for specialized wiring configurations where separate motor terminals are required.
• Simple Programming: Utilizes physical trippers to set schedules, eliminating the calibration complexities found in digital alternatives.

Common Questions:

What is the difference between the Tork 1101 and 1101B?
The base 1101 typically refers to the mechanism in a NEMA 1 metal case, while the 'B' designation often indicates updated production series or differing packaging, though the fundamental electrical specifications remain identical.

Can I use this for a 240V pump?
No, the Tork 1101 is designed specifically for 120VAC 60Hz timing motors and Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switching. For 240V applications, use the Tork 1102 or 1103 models.

Does it come with extra trippers?
One pair of ON/OFF trippers is included. If your schedule requires multiple cycles per day, additional trippers (part number P49) can be added to the dial.
