Things you should know about programming events
- You can repeat the ON and OFF programming procedures for up to 7 events.
- In order to use programmed times,
MODE must be set to AUTO or RDM
- ON / OFF button
overrides
the current programmed events.
OPERATING THE TIME SWITCH
Press the MODE button repeatedly to set the timer to Automatic, Random or Manual
mode.
NOTE:
For the time switch to run programmed events, it must be set to “AUTO” mode.
AUTO: runs all events automatically, according to the schedule you have set. The
word “AUTO” appears in the display.
RDM (Random): runs all events in a RANDOM mode. This is a security feature in
which ON and OFF times randomly differ ± 30 minutes of the programmed times,
creating a more “lived-in” look. The word “RDM” appears in the display.
OVERRIDING TIMER SETTINGS
The ON / OFF button overrides the current programmed events.
To override the current program (either ON or OFF), press the ON/OFF button.
NOTE:
If the timer is not in “Manual” mode, it will obey the next programmed event.
This allows the user to manually turn a light on and allow the program to shut the
light back off at a preset time.
RESETTING THE TIMER
In case of an operational failure of the timer, insert a thin non-conducting object (like
a wood toothpick) into the RESET orifice to clear all settings and restart.
If display screen is blank:
1. Connect timer to junction box.
2. Gently press the reset button until digital display appears.
3. Follow programming instructions.
*Works with CFL bulbs.
*This timer has been tested to work with standard compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs.
However, it will not control a CFL bulb that specifically states
- Do not set up events out of order. Be sure to set up events in progressive order of
time (for example, 8:00pm ON, 9:00 pm ON, 10:00 pm ON — NOT 8:00 pm ON,
10:00 pm ON, 9:00 pm ON).
- Do not overlap event times (for example, 8:00 pm ON /12:00pm OFF, and 9:00 pm
ON / 11:00 pm OFF).
- Do not set ON / OFF events within 30 minutes or less from one another if you are
going to use the timer in the Random Mode.
The Random Mode interval is ± 30 minutes from the programmed times, and
programs set too close together may overlap one another.

your settings.

Remove wall plate and disconnect existing light switch, install junction box with a
qualified electrician.
Make sure both “hot” (black or red) and neutral (white) wires are present in the
junction box. If both wires are not present, additional wiring will be necessary
before installation can be completed.
Connect red timer wire to wire from towel warmer fixture, using wire connector.
( )
Connect black timer wire to the “hot” (usually black or red) wire in junction box
using wire connector. ( )
Expose white wire in junction box (or open splice) and strip 1/2 in. of insulation
to both wires.
Connect all three white wires together (timer wire, junction box wires) using wire
connector.
If the wall switch you are replacing had separate grounding conductors
connected to the GREEN screw on the switch, make sure to connect these to
the green wire from the timer with a wire connector. ( )
