EI-200 and EI-501 Series Timers Offer Modern Convenience and Versatile Control

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. – Intermatic LLC today announced the launch of its new EI-200 Series Countdown Timer and EI-501 Series 7-Day Programmable Timer, two new solutions designed for flexibility and control in a range of residential and light commercial applications.

New EI-200 Series Countdown Timers offer a modern aesthetic and allow users to turn lights and loads off at preset intervals, making them the perfect choice for limited-use lighting applications (e.g., supply closets, storage facilities) as well as bathroom exhaust fans, whole house fans, and more. An innovative five-button design with built-in DoubleTime feature allows users to select preset countdown intervals ranging from 5 minutes up to 8 hours max.

“We designed the EI-200 Series to integrate seamlessly into modern homes and deliver immediate energy savings,” says Leigh Herman, product manager at Intermatic. “Homeowners will appreciate the simple yet clever DoubleTime feature which allows them to double countdown time intervals without making the interface overly complicated.”

Conversely, the EI-501 Series is a versatile 7-day programmable in-wall timer with Astronomic scheduling capabilities. Balancing simplicity and performance, this standard-tier solution stands out for its robust scheduling options, automatic DST adjustment, and 3-way switching compatibility. It allows for up to 40 ON/OFF events and is ideal for entryway lighting, garage lights, and more.

“Beyond being a great fit for common residential lighting applications, the EI-501 Series is capable of handling motor loads of up to ½ HP,” says Herman. “It’s a workhorse solution that installers can trust to perform across residential and light commercial projects and is backed by a 2-year limited warranty.”

The EI-200 Series and EI-501 Series are compatible with LED, CFL, Fluorescent and Incandescent loads. Both in-wall solutions also require a neutral wire for installation.
