The CP Electronics MRT16-WP is a 3-wire, IP66-rated weatherproof touch-activated time delay switch for outdoor and industrial use. With adjustable timing from 1 second to 2 hours, it provides timed control for lighting, heating, and ventilation loads, making it ideal as an outdoor time lag switch or for wash-down areas.

The MRT16-WP from CP Electronics is a versatile, weatherproof timer designed for robust outdoor and industrial applications. Housed in a tough IP66-rated surface mount enclosure, this timer is fully protected against dust and water ingress, making it perfect for external installations, wash-down areas, or damp environments.

Using a simple touch-activated interface, the MRT16-WP allows users to activate connected loads with a light press. The unit then switches off automatically after a preset time, which can be adjusted from 1 second to 2 hours. Its flexibility makes it ideal for controlling lighting, heating, fans, or ventilation systems.

The timer offers three selectable modes—on/off, resetting, and non-resetting—allowing it to be tailored for different applications, such as pump or fan overrun or standard timed switching. Time settings are easily adjusted via rear-mounted thumbwheels and switches, ensuring precise and reliable operation.

Part of the CP Electronics Green-i range, the MRT16-WP supports a wide range of loads, including resistive heaters, fluorescent and LED lighting, low-energy lamps, and even fans or SON lighting via contactors. Its class 2 electrical rating, high terminal capacity, and IP66 protection make it a robust and safe solution for challenging environments.

CP Electronics MRT16-WP - touch activated Weatherproof multi-range time delay switch

The CP Electronics MRT16-WP and the CP Electronics MRT16-WP/TN are two touch-activated weatherproof timers. The MRT16-WP time delay switch is operated by pressing the tamperproof touch-sensitive pad on the front of the switch. The unit is mounted in a durable IP66 enclosure and is designed for outdoor use or where moisture is present. Ideally suited for outdoor heaters and outdoor spas. The CP Electronics MRT16-WP/TN time delay switch has a temporary neon indicator to show when the timer is running. The CP Electronics MRT16 series of time delay switches are designed to provide timed control of lighting, heating or ventilation loads. Using touch (light press required) activation the user can switch on a load for a preset time period and have the load turn off automatically after the time period has elapsed. Multiple timing ranges come as standard to allow the time-out period to be set accurately. Time setting is achieved using switches and a thumb wheel at the rear of the unit.

Triggering the timer again during timing will immediately turn off the load and stop the timing. Resetting: triggering the timer will turn on the load and start the timing. Triggering the timer again during timing will restart the timing period from scratch. When using an external trigger In this mode, the timer will not start until the trigger is removed making it ideal for pump or fan overrun applications. Non-resetting: triggering the timer will turn on the load and start the timing. Triggering the timer again during timing will have no effect. Optional neon indicators provide permanent illumination or illumination during the timing period.
