APPLICATION

Time based control of lighting, ventilating, heating, cooling or other 

electrical loads in commercial and industrial applications. The 

FM1D Series time switches are programmable for 24-hour or 

7-day schedules.

The FM1D20A and FM1D50A Series Time Switches are intended

for either surface or Din Rail mounting. The control is completely

enclosed in a plastic housing and includes a terminal cover and

sub-base for installation and hard wiring.

The FM1D20E Series and FM1D50E Series Time Switches are

intended for flush (panel) mounting.

Both models are supplied with a clear plastic dust cover.

INSTALLATION

To the installer:

1. Read operating instructions carefully.

2. Check the input and output ratings marked on the unit to

make sure this product is suitable for your power supply and

application.

3. Disconnect power supply prior to installation to prevent

electrical shock.

4. Wire in accordance with National and Local electrical code

requirements.

SURFACE MOUNTING—FM1D20A and FM1D50A

  Remove dust cover, loosen two screws on opposite corners. 

Remove the housing that surrounds the time switch and the 

terminal cover away from the base. Remove timer module by 

pulling straight out.

  Place screws through 3 mounting holes in base and screw to 

back panel or wall.

  Wire in accordance with instructions. Replace terminal cover 

and push timer firmly onto base. Now replace housing and 

secure with screws.

PANEL MOUNTING—FM1D20E and FM1D50E

  Cut a square hole 2-5/8” x 2-5/8” (66mm x 66mm) in the front 

of the panel. Insert the time switch through the opening. With 

a screwdriver, press down and turn outer screws (A) until 

flanges are in position to fasten the unit in front panel, then 

release. Insert plugs into holes (B).

  Use 1/4” quick connects and make connections in accor-

dance with the wiring diagram shown and applicable code 

requirements.
