Bathroom must have!!
Our home was caught between steamy showers with no exhaust fan or an exhaust fan running for 24 hours straight. The 4-Button Digital Timer was a total solution and will now save our bathroom from moisture damage and our electric bill from wasteful usage. Easy to use, aesthetic for the design-conscious and a simple DIY project. This Timer is a great choice and automatic solution.

Works great with Panasonic WhisperCeiling DC
I bought this for a bathroom fan. The timer function works great and remembers previous setting. It works with the low-wattage Panasonic fans that don't behave well with some timers. Maybe it's because of the relay in it that clicks on and off.
The small white light is perfectly sized and brightness for helping find the switch in a dark room. I don't want a switch to be lit up like a night light, or have garish colors, or to cast light on the room. I want the room to be dark when the lights are off. These are perfect.

Does it's job, and looks good doing it.
I bought these for my bathroom fans, and my bathroom heat lamps. They do a great job and they are set apart from a lot of the competition as is not a large selection for timers for 60 minutes. Very easy to use and setup. My only complant is that the wiring that is provided to tie into the existing wires seems to be of lower quality, but the fact that they provide it as well as stripping the wires for you is very convientent.

Great features
We installed this timer in our bathroom to the exhaust fan.
Love the time feature on this, we go into the bathroom turn the exhaust fan on and we don’t have to worry about it running continuously. We use to forget and leave it on for hours. This solved are problem.

Questions & Answers
Is the load output controlled by a mechanical relay? I'd like to connect it to the control input of a zwave controller. The z-wave unit is compatible only with plain mechanical switches (one contact goes to live and the other to the z-wave).
This device is electronic so it may not work in your desired application. If you'd like to discuss further, please reach out to us in Technical Support at 844-957-3783.

I wasn’t clear to the answer of a previous question. I would like to confirm it is not possible to turn on the switch in a manner that bypasses the timer, thus it is not possible for the switch to stay on until manually turned off. Is this correct? Thx
That is correct…..there is no “always on” function…..your only options are the 4 timed selections……
Date published: 2023-05-30
Could you confirm: - Does timer have an IP rating? - Does manual on override timer function (stays on indefinitely when triggered)? If it does any option to disable this feature so can be only turned on with timer?
Hello Kristen,
The RT2 timer does not have an IP Rating.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The RT2 is a time switch that turns OFF the connected light or fan when the selected time expires. An indicator light illuminates when the switch is OFF. When selecting a time delay of 20 min or more, as time expires, the button LED’s will move through the next available time delay, always giving an indication of the amount of time left before the time delay expires. One minute before each time delay transition, the active button LED will flash, providing the user an indication of the transition.
Manual ON
Turn ON the connected light or fan by pressing the desired time button, or the ON/OFF button. If you press the ON/OFF button, it activates the timer that was last used.
Manual OFF
While a timer is active, you can press the ON/OFF button to turn OFF the connected light or fan without delay.
Changing the selected time
If you decide that you need more or less time than you originally selected, restart the time switch by pressing the button that matches the amount of time you think you’ll need.
Best Regards,
Technical Support

Works great for my noisy bathroom fans! But I with it had a 5 minute setting. 10 mins works, but is a little too long. Do you have, or plan a model with shorter times? Thank you
That's great to hear, we appreciate your feedback. Currently no, but we may have something like that in the future.

Shameless question about the graphite color for this product—I see others have asked already but I am hoping that if we demonstrate enough demand, you guys will offer this in graphite! Any updates on a graphite timer switch? Thanks!
Hello Hannah,
Unfortunately, at this time the RT2 radiant timer is not available in graphite.

What product recommendation do you have for a switch that is similar style (matt finish in particular) that does not require a neutral?
Hello Chris,
Unfortunately, the RT2 and similar device RT50, both require neutrals.
Best Regards,
Technical Support

If I want the fan to run always run for 30min, do I have to select 30min every time I turn the fan on?
Hello, thank you for your inquiry. The timer has preset times of 10, 20, 40 or 60 minutes. You can either press the large paddle to allow the controlled device to run indefinitely, or you could press one of the timer buttons to have your connected load turn off after that amount of time has passed. I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact us in Technical Support should you have any other questions.

If the switch is turned on with the use of the on/off paddle instead of one of the preset timer options, does the switch still time out/turn off after 60 minutes if the paddle switch is not manually turned off?
You can turn ON the connected light or fan by pressing the desired time button, or the ON/OFF button.
If you press the ON/OFF button, it activates the time that was last used.

Are the 3 leads from the RT2 four button timer stranded aluminum or stranded copper wire?
Hello,
These wires are copper tinned so they look silver.
Thank you,
Date published: 2021-11-19
Will the switch work if the neutral from the switch is not connected? The situation I have is one where the device box does not have a neutral only the hot wire to the switch and then the wire to the light and fan.
The RT2W timer requires a Neutral connection to function properly.

I need a minute timer switch that can work with a low power exhaust fan. The fan uses .25 amps, 30 watts. I've read some other switches will malfunction or not work on less than 3 amps - Is this switch compatible? fan model #FV-10NLF1E
The RT2 timer does not have a minimum load requirement, so it should work fine with this fan.
Date published: 2021-02-08
The lead wires for this switch are #16. My house uses #12 wires. Is this compatible? Or will the wires overheat, or have other problems, etc?
The timer can be used with #12AWG and #14AWG wire.

For my application, I'd like to use this device to open/close a set of signal contacts (that is, complete a continuity circuit, like an old-fashioned mechanical relay). There will be no current flowing through the contacts. Can the device do this?
This device has a relay output so in theory would work to meet your needs. In practice though relays need a slight amount of switching current to help keep the contacts clean. If there is zero current being switched I might question performance/longevity in this application.

I read somewhere that this switch controls, lights, ceiling & exhaust fans. Is that true? I’m on my 3 switch by you! All I want/need is a switch that control my ceiling fan w/ a light! Dimmer & Fan switch didn’t work per legrand rep. Will this work?
I would suggest contacting our Technical Support department so they can offer the correct product for your application.

Is the fan control independent of the light? In other words, I would like the light to go on or off manually and the fan to go off automatically. The switch I have now has four connectors plus the ground terminal.
The RT2 timer is a single control so if you're controlling and light and fan, they will both turn on and off together.

The Specifications states: Number Of Poles: Single Pole/3-Way Yes the instructions clearly state "Only connect the RT2 to a Single Pole Circuit. The RT2 is not suitable for 3-way switching. So, which is it?
The Radiant RT2 timer is single pole only and we will correct the website description to reflect that.

I want to use this to turn on outside can lights. I want them all night for safety. Right now i turn them on at night and forget to turn them off in the morning Whats the longest time setting they be set to? Thanks
The RT2 timer has a maximum time delay of 1 hour. The RT100 or RT200 programmable timers would work better for your application.
The RT100 is manual ON - auto OFF

I have a dbl wall box with timer and also SPST light switch.The old timer had red, white wires-RT2 also has black wire. Curr wiring fm wall-black to lightsw trml1, white to trml2 and over to timer "line" trml. Red to timer "load" trml. How to connect RT2?
The correct wiring for the RT2 timer is:
• Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND wire from the circuit to the GROUND terminal
on the RT2.
• Connect the power wire from the circuit (HOT) to the black wire on the RT2.
• Connect the power wire to the lamp or fan (LOAD) to the red wire on the RT2.
• Connect the NEUTRAL wires from the circuit to the white wire on the RT2.

I have one fan, controlled by 3 switches with neutral. Will this work in 2 locations. Third location is on/off switch.
The RT2BK Radiant timer is designed for single pole applications only.

Bathroom fan says it won’t work with dimmers or switches with solid state timers, only manual countdown timers. Will this timer work? I can’t find any information on what kind of timer it is.
Good Morning,
It should work just fine. Typically, solid state only refers to fan speed controls and not standard on/off timer switches.
Hope this helps!
Date published: 2019-08-06
Does this switch have a minimum load requirement?
The RT2 timer is rated for 0-600W Load, so the minimum load is zero.
Date published: 2020-02-25
Can this be used on a 20 amp circuit?
Yes The RT2 can be used on a 20A 120V circuit
Date published: 2019-05-03
Can I use this switch if I only have 3 wires, a hot, a neutral and a ground - no load wire to my fan/light? If not do you have a timer switch that can be used?
No, it won't work for you. Switches can be wired two separate ways: power to the switch or power to the light. You need the former for this to work.
Responding to Legrand: gee, sure would be nice for there to be a warning on the box explaining this limitation! Even if not on the box, you could put it in the instructions too...

Can this be used to control the 1400 watt HEATING ELEMENT of the Panasonic WhisperWarm ceiling fan & heater. (No problem with the 1/6 hp blower. It's the heating element that I'm asking about.)
Hello,
The RT2W has a maximum load wattage of 600W.
Hope this helps,
Have a great day.

When is Graphite color going to be available?
The RT2 Timer is not available in Graphite at this time. I am unaware if there are plans for this color for this product in the future. At this time it is available in White, Light Almond, Ivory, Black, Nickel, and Dark Bronze
Date published: 2023-02-27
Does the timer start automatically when the paddle switch is used or must someone actively remember to use the timer mode?
Good Afternoon,
The timer starts automatically when the switch is turned on. You don't have to hit it every time unless you want to change the time duration.
Hope this helps!

Can I use this timer to controller a bathroom heater?
Thank you for your question regarding Legrand Radiant timer(Model # RT2W).
The RT2W timer has a 1/6 HP rating to control any motor load that does not exceed that rating.

Can I also turn on the connected device and have it STAY on until I turn it off manually? (as well as the 10/20/40/60 minute count down then turn off feature)
Thank you for your inquiry regarding our radiant RT2 countdown timer. This product does not have an override feature and will always turn off after 10/20/40/60 minutes. If you turn the device on and do not select a time, it goes by the last time set. Hope this helps!
