Brand: Intermatic | Manufacturer Part Number: PX100S | Big Frog Supply SKU: PX100S
Product Overview
The Intermatic PX100S is a 100-watt safety transformer designed to supply low-voltage power to compatible pool, spa, underwater, fountain, and landscape-lighting fixtures. It accepts a 120 VAC, 60 Hz input and provides selectable 12, 13, or 14 VAC secondary connections. These output taps allow a qualified installer to match the connected fixture requirements while accounting for permitted voltage drop in the low-voltage conductors.
A grounded shield separates the primary and secondary windings, and built-in circuit protection temporarily disconnects power if an overload occurs. The distinguishing feature of the PX100S is its brown stainless-steel Type 3R enclosure, which offers additional corrosion resistance for properly installed indoor or outdoor applications. The transformer does not include a timer, junction box, lighting fixture, or optional ET-NF noise filter.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does PX100S differ from PX100?
Both are 100-watt transformers, but PX100S uses a stainless-steel enclosure while PX100 uses beige steel.
What output voltages are available?
The transformer provides selectable 12, 13, and 14 VAC outputs.
Is a timer included?
No. This listing is for the transformer and enclosure only.
