I did a 120v 20a timer search. I found plenty in the $10 range rated at 20A. So, as Jerry posted, your local hardware outlet should have them. These are many in large quantities, so the price is low. Note: their 20A rating maybe really designed for a 16A maximum continuous electrical load. IMO eventually under a higher than a continuous 16A load, the timer would get cooked an stop working. But they are so cheap you could buy another one, and recycle the worn out one, which is much cheaper than buying a $100+ timer.
But I did find one 20A timer rated as heavy duty (2500 watts ?) http://www.electricsuppliesonline.com/inaircoaptih1.html Most definitely, make contact with Russco. He will know of a KISS method. {brucedp.150m.com} ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle On Wed, Sep 11, 2013, at 07:15 AM, Jerry Rhodes wrote: > Steve, I used a coffee pot timer from the local hardware, the one I had > was > a HD unit good for 24 amp@120vac an timed from 30 min to 24 hrs, check > your > local hardware, good luck - > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Steve Powers" <[email protected]> > >I just replaced my charger and bought a Russco 18-120, but it doesn't have > > either the analog or digital shutoff.
