Intermatic Time Switch Tripper Kit 156T1978A Gold Silver Turquoise

Description

Product Overview

Intermatic has been a trusted name in residential and commercial timer solutions for decades, and the 156T1978A Tripper Kit continues that tradition of reliability. Designed specifically for the Intermatic T100, T7000 and WH40 series, this kit gives electricians and DIY enthusiasts a straightforward way to add precise on/off control to a wide range of electrical loads. The kit’s compact dimensions—just 2 x 1 x 2 inches—make it easy to fit into tight control panels while the lightweight construction (0.01 ounces) ensures it does not add unnecessary bulk.

Each package contains two complete sets of trippers, providing a total of eight individual trippers: two gold OFF trippers, two silver ON trippers, and two turquoise trippers. Accompanying the trippers are eight set screws, one for each unit, allowing a secure and repeatable connection to the timer terminals. The gold trippers are engineered for the OFF function, while the silver trippers handle the ON function; the turquoise units serve as versatile markers for custom configurations. All components are manufactured from high‑grade, corrosion‑resistant materials that maintain conductivity even in demanding environments.

Compatibility is a core strength of this kit. The trippers are engineered to match the exact terminal spacing and voltage ratings of Intermatic’s T100, T7000, and WH40 timers, eliminating the guesswork that often accompanies third‑party accessories. Because the kit is exclusive to Intermatic timers, users can be confident that the mechanical fit and electrical performance meet the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications. This focus on brand‑specific design reduces the risk of premature wear, mis‑alignment, or electrical arcing.</n

Installation is intentionally simple. The set screws are sized to fit the standard timer terminal holes, and the trippers feature a low‑profile head that sits flush against the timer surface. A typical installation involves removing the timer cover, inserting the appropriate ON and OFF trippers into the designated slots, tightening the set screws, and then re‑securing the cover. Most users can complete the process in under ten minutes, and the clear color‑coding of the trippers helps prevent wiring errors during the initial setup or future maintenance.

Performance reliability is reinforced by Intermatic’s rigorous testing standards. Each tripper undergoes a series of mechanical endurance cycles and electrical load simulations to verify that it will operate consistently over thousands of switching events. The result is a product that not only meets but often exceeds the expectations of professionals who rely on precise timing for lighting control, pump activation, HVAC sequencing, and other critical applications.

Usage

The 156T1978A Tripper Kit is ideal for a variety of residential and commercial scenarios. Homeowners can use the kit to automate outdoor lighting, garden irrigation pumps, or garage door openers, ensuring that devices turn on at dusk and shut off at sunrise without manual intervention. In commercial settings, facility managers often employ Intermatic timers to coordinate HVAC systems, water heaters, and security lighting, and the tripper kit provides the precise switching points needed for these complex schedules.

Because the kit is compatible with both the T100 series (which offers basic timing functions) and the more advanced T7000 and WH40 series (which support programmable intervals and multi‑day cycles), it serves a broad audience ranging from hobbyist electricians to seasoned contractors. The clear gold, silver, and turquoise color scheme also makes it easy for technicians to identify and replace trippers during routine maintenance, reducing downtime and simplifying troubleshooting.
