Outdoor Timer

The outdoor controller comes with a standard 6 ft 

power cord so it can be installed indoors, or outdoors 

if plugged into a weatherproof external outlet.

The outdoor controller can also be wired directly into 

a power supply by removing the power cord. It has an 

internal transformer that reduces supply voltage (120 

VAC in US) to 24 VAC. You will need to connect power 

supply wires to the transformer’s three wires. (Line, 

Neutral, Ground).

 WARNING: 

Electric shock can cause severe 

injury or death. Make sure power supply is 

turned OFF before connecting power wires.

 WARNING:

 All electrical connections and 

wiring runs must comply with local building 

codes.

 WARNING:

 DO NOT apply power to the unit 

until you have completed and checked all wiring 

connections.

 WARNING:

 Disconnect or shut off the 

external power source before connecting or 

disconnecting wires to the Timer.

  Remove the wiring bay cover at the bottom of 

the unit.

  Remove the WIFI Module to access the wiring 

compartment.

  Locate the wiring compartment in the lower left-

hand corner of the unit and using a screwdriver, 

unscrew wiring compartment front cover.

cord and the transformer wires. Remove the 

power cord wires from the transformer box.
