Sangamo Q586.2 4 Pin 24 Hour Time Switch - 2 On/Off Operations, Early On 1 Day/Week

The Sangamo Q586.2 is a 4-pin 24 hour time switch with two programmable on/off changeover operations and an early on override for one day per week. The mechanical quartz movement drives a clear dial face marked in 24 hour increments, with four removable pins controlling two independent changeover circuits. The time switch carries a 20A rating at 230V and includes a 100 hour battery reserve to maintain programming during mains power loss.

Designed for heating controls, commercial lighting, immersion heaters, and ventilation systems requiring two independent timed switching operations, the Q586.2 fits standard DIN rail mounting or can be panel-mounted using the integral fixing lugs. The manual override button allows temporary bypassing of the programmed schedule without removing the timing pins, and a day omit dial lets you disable switching operations on specific days of the week. The early on feature provides an additional one-day-per-week advance start for heating pre-warm or extended lighting hours.

The clear polycarbonate cover protects the dial and pins while allowing visual confirmation of the current time position and programmed operations. The quartz movement requires no manual winding and runs continuously from mains power with the 100 hour battery backup ensuring settings are retained during short power cuts or maintenance work. At 104mm x 83mm x 134mm and 412g, the Q586.2 occupies a compact footprint while maintaining accessible controls and clear visual feedback.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

How many switching operations can be programmed?

The Q586.2 provides two independent on/off changeover operations per 24 hour cycle, controlled by four removable pins on the dial face. Each operation switches at the time where its pins are positioned on the 24 hour scale.

What does the early on feature do?

The early on feature allows one additional advance start operation on a single nominated day of the week. This is typically used for heating pre-warm on Mondays or extended lighting hours on specific days without needing to reprogram the main schedule.

How long does the battery backup last?

The 100 hour battery reserve maintains the time and programmed settings during mains power loss for up to four days. This prevents the need to reprogram the switch after short power cuts or electrical maintenance work.

Can the switch be overridden manually?

Yes. The manual override button on the front panel allows temporary bypassing of the programmed schedule without removing the timing pins. The switch returns to automatic operation once the override is released or the next programmed event occurs.
