The Caloritech™ OKT Percentage Timer (Input Controller) is used mainly for pulsing power to metal tubular element radiant heaters. Where load voltage and current ratings exceed the timer contact rating, the timer can be used to switch contactors. Please note that the OKT cannot be used effectively on quartz lamp radiant heaters.
