Rated 4 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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).

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

Asked by: Pete20
That is correct…..there is no “always on” function…..your only options are the 4 timed selections……
Answered by: Wayne

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?

Asked by: Kristen
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

If I want the fan to run always run for 30min, do I have to select 30min every time I turn the fan on?

Asked by: Dave
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?

Asked by: Evan
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.

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.

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

Asked by: Arielle
The RT2 timer does not have a minimum load requirement, so it should work fine with this fan.
Answered by: Legrand Technical Support

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?

Asked by: Arielle
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?

Asked by: Florentinian
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.

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.

Asked by: Dave
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.

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 https://www.legrand.us/radiant/search.aspx?q=rt100i The RT200 is auto ON - auto OFF https://www.legrand.us/radiant/search.aspx?q=rt200i

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?

Asked by: John
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...
