Some spaces need a timer most of the time and continuous power once in a while. The Intermatic FF60MHC is a spring-wound countdown timer with up to 60 minutes of timing plus a hold position for continuous duty. It replaces a single-gang wall switch, needs no neutral or power to run, and comes with a brushed-metal-look plastic wall plate. Intermatic warns it is not for sunlamps, saunas or loads that could cause injury if timed incorrectly.
Why electricians pick it
- Hold position keeps the load on continuously when needed.
- Up to 60 minutes of countdown for everyday timed use.
- Mechanical, no neutral required; SPST contacts.
- Rated 125-277 V AC for resistive, motor and lamp loads.
- cCSAus certified; 1-year limited warranty.

Pro tip from the counter
The hold position also defeats the timer. Use the FF60MHC where staff need to run a fan or pump continuously for maintenance, and pick the no-hold FF60MC for public washrooms, where the whole point is that nobody can leave it on.
Best for: maintenance and mechanical rooms, workshop dust and exhaust fans, residential bathroom fans, pump and motor loads needing occasional continuous run
