Frequently asked questions
Can the Powerplant Heavy Duty Timer run a 600W ballast?
Yes. It is designed for the inductive load of a 600W ballast, so no separate contactor is needed. It is ideal for 400W and 600W ballasts, but do not use more than one 600W ballast per timer.
How is the Powerplant Heavy Duty Timer set?
It has 96 switching operations in a 24 hour period, one every 15 minutes. The case has dust and moisture covers on the socket and timer.
Why not use a normal household timer for grow lights?
Household timers are not built for HID ballast loads, so their contacts can overheat and weld together, leaving your lights on permanently. The Powerplant timer is built to take these loads.
