Professional automatic timing control for energy-efficient load management

The Intermatic Spring Wound Countdown Timer delivers reliable automatic timing control with 6-hour maximum operation and 125-277 VAC compatibility. This SPST decorator style timer requires no electricity to operate and automatically limits ON time for energy consuming loads, making it ideal for air movement, ventilation, and lighting control applications. The spring wound mechanism breaks the circuit at the end of each timing cycle, providing consistent energy management performance.

Intermatic FD6H – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Intermatic FD6H spring wound timer need a neutral wire?
No neutral is required on the FD6H. It wires with teeter-type terminals in place of a standard or decorator wall switch, so a two-wire switch leg in an older box is enough. That is the main reason crews pick a spring wound timer over an electronic one in remodel work, where a neutral often isn't present at the switch box.
2) Will a 6-hour spring wound timer fit in a standard decorator wall plate opening?
Yes. The FD6H is built to replace a standard or decorator style wall switch, so it drops into a single-gang box and takes a decorator (rocker style) plate. Body measures 4.125 x 1.75 x 1.25 inches, so check depth behind the device where the box is shallow or crowded with conductors.
3) Can I use this timer on a 277-volt commercial lighting circuit?
Yes. The FD6H is rated 125-277 VAC, 50/60 Hz, so it works on a 277V commercial lighting branch circuit as well as standard 120V residential wiring. One part number covers both, which is useful if you're standardizing timers across a building with mixed voltages.
4) Does the FD6H countdown timer have a hold position for continuous on?
No. The FD6H is the without-hold version, so the dial always winds down and breaks the circuit at the end of the cycle. If you need the load to stay on indefinitely, this is the wrong variant, look for an Intermatic FD series model with the hold feature instead.
5) Will this spring wound timer work with LED and fluorescent fixtures, or only incandescent?
It handles incandescent, fluorescent, CFL, and LED lighting, plus motor loads. Because the spring wound mechanism is a mechanical switch, not a dimmer or electronic switch, there is no minimum load issue that trips up low-wattage LED retrofits.
6) Is a 6-hour timer too long for a bathroom exhaust fan?
It can be. The FD6H winds to a 6-hour maximum, which suits longer runs like crawlspace or garage ventilation, pumps, and outdoor lighting shutoff. For a bath fan a tenant sets and forgets, a shorter maximum from the Intermatic FD series (15, 30, or 60 minute models) keeps the run time bounded. Pick the maximum that matches the longest run you actually want.
7) Does a spring wound timer keep working during a power outage or after a reset?
The mechanism is mechanical and needs no electricity to run, so the countdown isn't affected by power conditions and there's nothing to reprogram after an outage. When the dial reaches zero the contacts open, whether or not the circuit saw an interruption.
8) Can I switch a fan motor directly with this timer, or do I need a contactor?
Motor control is one of its listed applications, so the timer switches fan and pump loads directly within its ratings. For anything drawing beyond the device rating, or a three-phase load, the timer would drive a contactor coil instead, since this is a single-pole single-throw device controlling one hot leg.
9) Can I use two of these to control one light from two locations?
No. The FD6H is SPST, which controls a single hot leg from one point, so it can't take the place of a 3-way switch. In a two-location layout, put the timer at the load end of the circuit or feed the timer from conventional 3-way switching ahead of it.
10) What color is the FD6H and will it match my other decorator devices?
The FD6H is ivory. If your openings are already white or light almond decorator devices, it won't match, so plan on a matching Intermatic FD series color or accept the difference in back-of-house spaces.
