How to change the faceplate color on your Eaton timer
Eaton Specification Sheet - PT5MK-LA-P
Eaton Specification Sheet - PT5MK-LA-P
Color-change compatibility is the core feature, enabling the timer indicator to reflect current status through a distinct faceplate color. The business impact is faster visual scanning for operators, reducing errors in high-mix production and shortening changeover times. In practice, technicians can swap faceplates during line upgrades without replacing the timer, delivering a meaningful gain in uptime and workflow efficiency. Compatibility and installation efficiency are supported by the catalog number PT5MK-LA-P and precise dimensions. The 2.25 in depth, 4.38 in height, and 2.88 in width fit standard panel openings, and the 1 lb weight makes handling straightforward for field technicians. This means quicker installations, easier inventory management, and fewer tooling requirements for panel upgrades. Durability and maintenance cost considerations highlight the value of a replaceable faceplate kit rather than an entire timer replacement. The ability to update color coding without downtime minimizes service interruptions, while reducing spare parts and bench stock. For facilities seeking predictable maintenance budgets, this kit offers a low-risk path to keep indicator signals current. Long-term value aligns with lean manufacturing and regulatory documentation workflows. The Aspire minute timer supports multiple timing presets (1, 10, 15, 20, 30 seconds/minutes), providing flexibility for a range of automation tasks. Standardized faceplate color changes improve readability across panels, making diagnostic tasks quicker and more reliable for maintenance staff. Common objections about compatibility are mitigated by referencing Eaton’s specification sheets and kit documentation. While certifications may vary by region, Eaton's documentation provides guidance to verify CE/UL/IP/SIL applicability as needed, ensuring your installation remains compliant across markets.

FAQs
To install, detach the existing faceplate from the Aspire timer and align the PT5MK-LA-P change kit over the timer module, ensuring connector alignment and seating the kit firmly. The catalog number PT5MK-LA-P and the kit’s light almond faceplate color should match your current control panel standard. Verify the timer’s 1, 10, 15, 20, 30 minute settings remain intact after installation and re-close the panel to maintain enclosure integrity. Always consult Eaton’s specification sheet for any region-specific mounting or wiring notes and confirm compatibility with your exact timer model prior to field deployment.
Key specifications include catalog number PT5MK-LA-P, UPC 032664721038, product dimensions of 2.25 in depth, 4.38 in height, 2.88 in width, and product weight of 1 lb. The kit supports Aspire minute timer configurations (1, 10, 15, 20, 30) and is designed to deliver a durable color-change option without altering the timer’s core timing functionality. These details influence installation space planning, handling, and long-term maintenance planning in automation environments.
Yes, the PT5MK-LA-P color change kit is intended for panel-mounted Aspire minute timers used in automation and control systems. It enables rapid faceplate color updates to support visual status indicators in manufacturing lines. However, environment-specific factors such as enclosure rating and ambient conditions should be verified with Eaton, since public certifications are not listed here. The kit’s light almond faceplate should integrate with existing color-coding schemes to improve operator readability and process reliability.
Certifications for PT5MK-LA-P are not published on the product page; Eaton instructs customers to contact the manufacturer for CE, IP, or SIL applicability by region. Before deployment in regulated environments, obtain formal confirmation from Eaton to ensure compliance with local electrical standards and safety requirements. This proactive step helps avoid non-compliance risks while maintaining audit trails for quality management systems.
The color change kit reduces downtime by enabling quick faceplate updates without replacing the timer, which lowers service time and inventory costs. By standardizing color coding across panels, maintenance staff can diagnose issues faster and perform changes with minimal disruption to production lines. Over multiple installations, these benefits translate into predictable maintenance budgets, reduced spare parts sprawl, and a faster return on investment for automation projects.
