BMT-55 mechanical timer range comparison chart

Three timers, one simple operating principle

All BMT-55 models use a clear mechanical dial and automatic return-to-zero operation. The main differences are the time range and switch configuration.

  • 4-hour: short irrigation and valve cycles
  • 120-minute: general timed control and short machine cycles
  • 12-hour: long irrigation and pump operation
