4. IN ADDITION...
Because of the increased torque encountered with multi-switch cam timers in the rapid time cycles, the Series MC-0 and
RC-0 timers require High Torque Motors (HTM). This is also true of some MC-1 and RC-1 timers. (See vertical shaded
area of chart.) To determine the need of an HTM in the Series MC-1 and RC-1, multiply required time cycle in seconds by
2/3. The answer will be the maximum number of switches that can be operated with a standard timing motor; e.g. time
cycle 15 seconds, 2/3 x 15s=10. 10 switches can be operated at 15 seconds with a standard timing motor, more than 10
load switches will required the use of an HTM. If there is any doubt relative to the use of an HTM, consult factory. Note
that the C-12 Gear Rack (horizontal shaded area of the chart) provides a cam rotation speed directly proportional to the
motor output; e.g. MC-6=1 revolution in 5 minutes. Also, the letter C which signifies CYCLES = 1/60th of a second.
