Fire Magic 1-hr Timer with Indicator Light - 5531-11T

1-Hour Outdoor Timer with Indicator Light

Product Description

Engineered for precision and safety, the Fire Magic 5531-11T 1-Hour Timer with Indicator Light regulates power to outdoor appliances for up to 60 minutes of continuous operation. Built for harsh outdoor environments, its stainless-steel housing and gasketed cover protect internal components from moisture and debris. The timer integrates easily into Fire Magic’s outdoor control towers or can be mounted flush or surface-mounted in custom installations.

In use, turning the knob clockwise past 10 minutes activates the timer, and the LED light illuminates to confirm power delivery. When the set time elapses, the light turns off and the power shuts down automatically. The 5531-11T is ideal for controlling Fire Magic electric grills, lights, or auxiliary circuits requiring timed, code-compliant operation. This 1-hour timer includes flexible countdown settings: 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 minutes to help prevent energy waste and enhance safety.
