Changing the Faceplate

This device includes a light-almond faceplate. To switch faceplates, follow the steps below.

 

Gently remove the white faceplate using a fl athead screwdriver. Starting at the top left 
corner, gently pry the faceplate loose, working around the edge until it pops off.

 

Find the light-almond faceplate in the package. Place the new faceplate into position and 
carefully push until it snaps into place.

Preparing for Multi-Switch Installations

When combining controls in a wall box, remove all the inner 
side sections prior to making the electrical connections.

 

Use pliers to bend the side section up and down until 
it breaks off. (See Figure A)

 

Repeat the process for each side section to 
be removed.

NOTE

:

 The common is typically a dark colored screw on a single pole or 3-way 

toggle switch.

NOTE

:

 The maximum distance allowed between the timer and the 3-way switch is 

100 feet.

NOTE

:

 For 3-way timer control and operation for fi xtures with mechanical ballast, 

install the timer in the “load side” wiring box.

TIMER ON LINE SIDE

 

Disconnect the power from the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the 
fuse from the fuse box.

 

Remove the line side 3-way switch and wires, and label the wire removed from the 
common terminal.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital 
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This Class B digital apparatus complies with 
Canadian ICES-003. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio 
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions may cause 
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference 
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to 
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver 
is connected.

 

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING

:

 

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

:

 

Shut off the power at the fuse box or circuit breaker before installation

 

Do not use in wet locations

 

Use indoors only

WARNING

:

 

RISK OF ELECTRIC FIRE

:

 

Do not use to control appliances that contain heating elements such as 
cooking appliances, heaters, and irons

 

Do not exceed electrical ratings

 

Do not use to control receptacles

 

Use only copper wire with this device

NOTE

:

 If you are unsure or unclear about this installation or if the wires in your 

box do not match the manual (not all switch boxes have neutral wires), contact a 
qualifi ed licensed electrician.

Installation

Single pole installation (see Figure 1)

 

Disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box, and remove the existing switch.

 

Connect the wires of the timer to the wall box as shown, using the wire nuts provided.

 

Connect the hot/live wire from the line to the black wire from the timer.

 

Connect the hot/live wire from the load to the blue wire from the timer.

 

Connect the ground wire to the green wire from the timer.

 

Connect the neutral wire to the white wire from the timer. Often the neutral (white) wire 
can be found in the back of the wire box connected with a wire nut. There may be several 
neutral wires bound together. Add the neutral to all neutral wires bound together making 
sure the wire nut is tight.

 

Attach a wire nut to the red (traveler) wire from the back of the timer. This wire is not 
needed in the single pole installation.

 

Ensure that all wire nuts are secure. Tuck the wires into the wall box, leaving room for 
the timer. 

 

Using the screws provided, mount the timer to the wall box, being careful not to crush 
any wires.

 

Reinstall your wall plate.

 

Turn the main power ON at the circuit breaker.

 The maximum distance allowed between the timer and the 3-way switch is

NOTE

:

 For 3-way timer control and operation for fi xtures with mechanical ballast, 

install the timer in the “load side” wiring box.

SWITCH ON LINE SIDE

 

Disconnect the power from the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the 
fuse from the fuse box.

 

Remove the 3-way switch from the hot/line side. Remove and label the common wire, and 
remove one of the other wires.

Typical 3-Way Wiring: In a typical 3-way application there are two 3-way switches. The 
switch on the “HOT” side has the common terminal tied to 120VAC. The switch on the 
“LOAD” side has the common tied to the lamp/load the switches turn OFF and ON.

Figure 2 - Typical Wiring Schematic for 
3-Way Installation

 

Using the supplied wire nuts, connect the wire removed from the common, the supplied 
jumper, and the other removed wire (1) together.

 

Connect the jumper back to the common connection from the switch.

 

If the two wires (wire (1) and wire (5)) on the switch are colored or marked so you can tell 
them apart, record their markings for use later.

 

Tuck the wires into the box, leaving room for the switch.

 

Install the switch into the box.

TIMER ON LOAD SIDE

 

Remove the load side 3-way switch and the three wires, labeling the common wire.

 

Connect the removed common wire to the blue wire from the timer.

 

Connect wire (1) to the black (line) wire from the timer.

 

Connect wire (5) to the red (traveler) wire from the timer.

 

Connect the white wire (1) from the timer to the white wire from the switch box (neutral). 

Figure A - Removing Side Sections 
Prior to Connection

The neutral wires may be bundled in the back of the switch box with a wire nut, and there 
may be several neutral wires bound together. Add the neutral to all neutral wires bound 
together, making sure the wire nut is tight.

 

Connect the green wire (3) from the timer to the ground in the switch box.

 

Tuck the wires into the switch box, leaving room for the timer.

 

Use the supplied screws to install the timer, being careful not to crush or pinch the wires.

 

Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

 

If the timer display does not turn on, swap wire (1) and wire (5). This can be done at the 
timer or toggle switch after disconnecting the power at the fuse box or circuit breaker.

 

Verify that the load turns ON and OFF when you manually turn the timer ON and OFF. 
Perform this test with the remote switch in both positions. You should hear the timer relay 
click ON/OFF. If you hear the relay click but the load does not turn ON/OFF properly, check 
your wiring.
