INTERMATIC WG1573 Time Clock Motor, 60 Hz

Intermatic WG1573 time clock motor is used as a replacement part in T100, T170, T100R201, T1400, T100-20 and WH Series timers for enhancing energy efficiency, scheduled operations and synchronising actions requiring precise timekeeping and control. This time clock motor delivers high torque and is used in operating time clocks that control electrical devices, lighting systems, pumps and other equipment in industrial settings and commercial buildings.

Working Mechanism:

• When the motor is powered, its output shaft connects with the clock's hands. As the motor turns, it moves the clock hands together, showing the time on the clock's face.
• As the clock hands move, the motor also includes a special part that controls the electrical connections. These connections are like switches that turn things on or off at specific times.
• The part that controls the switches uses a round wheel with raised parts. As the wheel turns with the motor, these raised parts touch the switches, making them open or close at certain times.
• By using this wheel to open and close the switches, the motor decides when things connected to the clock should work. It lets things like lights or pumps follow a set schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Can the motor's gear mechanism be adjusted to change how the clock hands move?

A. The gear mechanism is preset to ensure accurate timekeeping. It can not alter the intervals of clock hand movement. The mechanism is built to work in sync with the power supply frequency, ensuring precision in displaying the time.

Q. How can I troubleshoot the motor if it stops working correctly?

A. Begin by checking for any loose connections, examining the power supply and ensuring there are no barriers regarding the motor's movement. If the problems persist, consult the troubleshooting section in the product manual or reach out to technical support for assistance.

Q. How to install this Intermatic WG1573 time clock motor?

A.

• Deactivate the circuit's power supply.
• Open the cover of the time clock to reach the existing motor.
• Disconnect the former motor from both the clock mechanism and the wiring.
• Connect the new motor's wiring to the appropriate terminals on the clock, following the designated color codes.
• Securely mount the new motor, using the supplied brackets or designated mounting points.
• If applicable, set the correct time on the clock.
• Close the cover of the time clock.
• Restore power to the circuit.

Q. Can I modify the motor's cam wheel to alter switching intervals?

A. The cam wheel's configuration and lobes dictate the switching intervals. It is non-adjustable. If you wish to modify intervals, replacing the cam wheel with a variant that suits your needs might be necessary.

Q. How can I synchronise this Intermatic clock motors operation with accurate time?

A. The motor's synchronous operation aligns with the power supply frequency, maintaining accurate timekeeping. Set the appropriate time on the clock mechanism and the motor will automatically synchronise with it.

Q. What are the factors that can impact the motor's lifespan?

A. Exposure to extreme temperatures, voltage fluctuations and humidity levels can influence the motor's longevity.
