compatible timers for omega super chromega F

[defmonk]

I just come upon an Omega Super Chromega F Dichroic II head with a 1000W power supply. I'm looking for a timer that works with it, but I'm not sure (1) which timers are compatible with this head and (2) how to connect a timer. The head has to connect to the back of the power supply, and there are two more plugs in the back of the power supply: one labelled "to timer" (female) and another "from timer" (male). Any ideas or recommendations for a timer? Thanks!

1000W is over the limit of most timers and requires an auxilliary power contactor to control the lamp. Most enlargers with 1000W power requirements have the contactor built into the head's power supply. And some power supplies are meant to only work with the manufacturers' timer/controller.

If the to timer/from timer plugs are regular AC plugs then any timer should be usable. If they are multi-contact electronic-style plugs then the power supply has been designed to plug only into an Omega timer.
