GENERAL

The ALDES 7-Day Programmable Timer 

can be used to operate a ventilation 

system during specific occupied 

periods, such as business hours, or 

when occupants are normally present.  

The timer can switch low-voltage 

circuits from 12V up to 240 VAC and 

motor loads of 1 to 2 hp.  This feature 

enables its use on low-voltage circuits 

to control heat or energy recovery 

ventilators, or on line-voltage circuits 

to control a fan directly.  It has a 

manual override feature to interrupt 

the programmed schedule, if needed.  

With dry-contact switching, it may 

be wired in parallel with other dry-

contact switches to control a common 

load, such as a central multi-port 

exhaust fan controlled from several 

bathrooms.

The timer may also be used to turn 

on lights, appliances, fans, etc., on a 

daily or weekly repeating schedule.  

For lighting functions, it can be 

programmed to follow daily changes 

in sunrise and sunset times. The 

unit is pre-set to follow the annual 

changes to Daylight Savings Time 

and Standard Time, and it can be 

changed in the future.  It can be set 

to a random mode to provide the 

appearance of occupancy, even when 

no one is home.

laps, crock pots, heaters, saunas, etc. 

WARNING!  USE COPPER CONDUCTORS 

ONLY. DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE 

PRESENT ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD WHEN 

CONNECTED TO THE POWER LINE. 

POWER MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE 

MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS OR 

ADJUSTMENTS TO AVOID ELECTRICAL 

SHOCK OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT. 

CAUTION

:  Replace ONLY with the 

same type of Lithium battery. Using a 

different type of battery could cause 

risk of fire or explosion when disposed. 

Do NOT heat above 212°F (100°C), re-

charge, disassemble, crush, or incinerate 

the battery.

If the battery is not replaced 

promptly when the timer becomes 

weak, the timer could become dam-

aged due to battery leakage.

 

INSTALLATION

Be sure the battery provided is installed 

and working before installing the 7-Day 

Programmable Timer into the wall. If this 

is a new installation, it is recommended 

to set up and program the timer before 

installing it in the wall. 

1.  Disconnect electrical power. 

2.  Determine the location of the 

timer. 

3.  Remove the existing wall switch. 

4.  Trim the building wires to 7/16."

SINGLE-SWITCH SETUP
