Leviton Decora Countdown Timer Switch, 60-Minute White, 15A with Four Preset Shutoff Times

The Leviton Decora 60-Minute Countdown Timer Switch is a single-pole wall switch for automatically turning connected lights or fan and motor loads off, with five buttons for four preset times and manual off.

• Load ratings include 600W LED/CFL, 1800W incandescent/halogen, and 15A resistive — match the switch to the connected load.
• Shallow switch design — helps it fit in a wall box.
• Interchangeable black line and load wires — helps prevent miswiring during installation.
• Green Flex Sleeve works with a ground connection or, when removed, a neutral connection — supports either wiring arrangement while requiring a ground wire.
• White Decora styling — coordinates with other Decora devices and interiors.
• DTKIT faceplates are available in six colors — change the switch’s appearance to suit the room.

Fans, lights and other connected loads can be left running longer than needed after a room is empty. This countdown switch adds timed shutoff at the wall, making it useful in spaces where a set run time is practical, including bathrooms, attics and areas with heat lamps or towel warmers. It is intended to replace a standard switch using existing wiring, rather than to act as the only source of light in an area.

How does the countdown timer work?

Press one of the four preset buttons to turn the connected load on; the switch turns it off automatically when the selected time expires. The available settings are 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes, and a separate fifth button turns the load off manually. This gives you a fixed run-time choice without relying on a person to return to the switch to shut the load off.

• Designed to help prevent lights and fans from being left on unintentionally.
• Suitable for lighting and fan or motor loads within the switch’s ratings.

Which connected loads can it control?

The switch supports specified lighting, fan and motor, low-voltage, fluorescent and resistive loads within their individual limits. Its ratings are 1200VA for magnetic low voltage, electronic low voltage or fluorescent loads, and ½ HP/9.8A for a fan or motor. Use the rating that corresponds to the type of load being controlled.

• Lighting examples include bathroom exhaust fans, heat lamps and attic fans.
• Other suggested applications include towel warmers, hot tubs and saunas.
• Do not use the switch to control lights when those lights are the area’s only light source.

What wiring and installation details should I know?

The timer is made to replace a standard switch and work with existing wiring, with a shallow body intended to fit in a wall box. A ground wire is required for installation. Connect the Green Flex Sleeve to ground when a neutral wire is unavailable; if a neutral is present in the wall box, remove the sleeve and connect to neutral instead.

• The two black wires can be used interchangeably for line and load.
• The switch is single pole.
• Its other listed ratings are 600W LED/CFL, 1800W incandescent/halogen and 15A resistive.

What comes with the Decora look, and what fits around it?

This model has a white finish and is compatible with other Decora devices. A Decora wallplate or Decora Plus Screwless Wallplate is sold separately, so include a compatible wallplate in your installation plan if one is needed.

• DTKIT faceplates can change the appearance to white, ivory, light almond, gray, black or brown.
• The timer is intended for wall-switch control of compatible loads, not as a standalone light source.

This switch suits people who want scheduled shutoff for a compatible light, exhaust fan, heat lamp or other supported load, especially where a simple preset run time is useful. It is a fit for installations with a required ground wire and a compatible wall box and load. Its five-button timer, stated load limits and Decora format define how it fits into the room and electrical setup.
