Security Brands 55-T24 7 Day Digital Timer 24 VAC/DC
The Security Brands 55-T24 is the 24 VAC/DC member of the 55-T digital timer series. It is used when an access point needs a weekly schedule rather than constant operation. Common field uses include opening a gate during business hours, enabling a keypad during delivery hours, controlling a relay for a mag lock or door strike, or managing a time-of-day input on a compatible control board. Because access-control panels and gate operators commonly provide different voltages, matching the timer voltage is essential. The 55-T24 is not simply a universal timer; it is the model for 24 VAC/DC circuits, while 55-T12 and 55-T110 are separate voltage versions.

Technician Note
Power-management and timer parts should be matched by voltage, load requirements, battery type, and enclosure location. Do not guess on voltage or wire a high-voltage timer into a low-voltage circuit.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the manufacturer part number and any old/new part number references.
- Match the product family and application, not just the brand name.
- Check voltage, frequency, activation method, receiver family, or battery type as applicable.
- Review the existing wiring, mounting location, and enclosure before replacing the part.
- For fire access or line-voltage work, confirm local code and use a qualified professional when required.
Professional Advisory
Access-control and power-management parts should be installed in accordance with the gate operator, access controller, local code, and site safety requirements. For high-voltage wiring, fire department access, or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate technician or licensed professional where required.
