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

Installation
1
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.

Existing 3-way installation (load side; See Figures 2 & 3)
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.
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.

□
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.
