The PT18M‑V‑K from Cooper Wiring Devices (Eaton) is a high‑performance 5‑button electronic minute timer designed to automate lighting and fan control in both residential and light‑commercial environments. Replacing a standard single‑pole switch, this timer provides convenient preset countdown intervals to ensure lights, fans, or small motor loads automatically turn off after a selected duration—saving energy and extending fixture life.

With universal load compatibility, simple push‑button operation, and a no‑neutral‑required design, the PT18M‑V‑K is ideal for retrofits and remodels where neutral conductors are not present. LED indicators display active timing and countdown progress, while the built‑in bypass mode allows the timer to operate like a standard ON/OFF switch when continuous operation is needed.

This durable, decorator‑style timer is built to handle 15A (1800W) at 120V AC, supporting incandescent, halogen, CFL, LED, low‑voltage, and fan motor loads up to 1/4 HP. Its removable face makes it compatible with optional color‑change kits, ensuring it blends seamlessly into any interior environment.

Key Features

• Five Preset Minute Intervals: Provides countdown options of 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes for automatic shutoff of connected loads. 
• Automatic Shutoff: Turns off lights or fans after the preset duration to prevent wasted energy and unnecessary runtime. 
• No Neutral Required: Perfect for retrofits and older electrical systems where a neutral wire is not available. 
• Universal Load Support: Works with incandescent, magnetic low‑voltage, electronic low‑voltage, fluorescent, compact fluorescent, LED loads, and motors up to 1/4 HP. 
• LED Feedback: Indicators show selected time interval and countdown status, including a warning flash before shutoff.
• Programmable Modes: Offers quick‑set programming and advanced custom interval programming for tailored timing control. 
• Bypass Mode: Converts the device into a manual ON/OFF switch when continuous operation is required. 
• Removable Faceplate: Compatible with optional color‑change kits for flexible design options.
• Durable Construction: Features a rugged thermoplastic body designed for long‑lasting performance.
