SINGLE-POLE INSTALLATION - CONNECTING THE WIRES TO THE NEW SWITCH
IMPORTANT:
This switch is rated for and intended for use only with copper wire.
Use 14AWG or larger wires suitable for at least 80°C for supplying Line (HOT), Load, Neutral,
and Ground.
a. Strip the wire length according to the following parameters:
□
For attachment using the enclosure’s holes, strip insulation 5/8 in. (16 mm)
NOTE:
UL specifies that the tightening torque for the screws is 14 Kgf-cm (12 lbf-in). Refer to the diagram
on the left which demonstrates the proper insertion and tightening of the wires into the terminals on the
switch.
b. Connect the green or bare copper ground wire to the GROUND terminal (1).
c. Connect the black wire that goes to the fixture to the LOAD terminal (2).
d. Connect the black wire that comes from the electrical service panel (Hot) to the LINE
terminal (3).

e. Connect the white wire to the NEUTRAL terminal (5) (use included jumper wire if needed). 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. Connect the jumper wire (supplied part BB) to all neutral wires bound together making sure the wire nut is tight. Connect the jumper
wire to the NEUTRAL terminal (5).

LOAD SIDE 3-WAY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
NOTE:
The common is typically a dark colored screw on a single pole or 3-way toggle switch.
NOTE:
If you are using your timer to control a fluorescent lamp, the timer must be installed on a load-side
wiring box.
PREPARING THE SWITCH ON THE LINE SIDE
a. Disconnect the power from the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the
fuse from the fuse box.
b. Using the Line Side diagram shown below as a reference, label and remove the line wire
(1) from the common terminal and the Traveler-2 wire (7).
c. Connect the jumper wire (supplied part BB), the line wire (1) from the common terminal C,
and the Traveler-2 wire (7) together. You should have three wires connected with one wire
nut.
d. Connect the other end of jumper (6) back to the common terminal (C) on the switch.
Consider recording the marking/color coding of the Traveler-1 (5) and Traveler-2 (7) wires
so you can tell them apart for later use.
e. Tuck the wires into the box, leaving room for the switch.
f. Install the switch back into the box and install wall plate.
INSTALLING THE TIMER ON THE LOAD SIDE
a. Using Load Side diagram as a visual guide, remove the load side 3-way switch and the
three wires, labeling the wire on the common terminal as Load (4) and the traveler wires.
b. Connect the removed LOAD wire (4) to the LOAD terminal (2) on the timer.
c. Using Timer on the Load Side as a visual reference for the remaining steps, connect the
Traveler-2 wire (7) to the LINE terminal (3) on the timer.
d. Connect the Traveler-1 (5) wire to the TRAVELER terminal (4) on the timer.
e. Connect the white neutral wire (2) from the switch box to the NEUTRAL terminal (5) of the
timer (use included white jumper wire if needed). 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. Connect the jumper wire (supplied part BB) to all neutral wires
bound together making sure the wire nut is tight. Connect the white jumper wire to the
NEUTRAL terminal (5).
f. Connect the ground wire (3) in the switch box to the GROUND terminal (1) on the timer.
g. Tuck the wires into the switch box, leaving room for the timer.
h. Use the supplied screws to install the timer, being careful not to crush or pinch the wires
and install wall plate.
i. Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
j. If the light fixture does not operate properly, disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or
fuse box. Then swap the wires connected to the line terminal (3) and traveler terminal (4)
on the timer.
k. Verify that the light fixture 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 light fixture does not turn ON/OFF
properly, check your wiring.

LINE SIDE 3-WAY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
NOTE:
The common is typically a dark colored screw on a single pole or 3-way toggle switch.
NOTE:
If you are using your timer to control a fluorescent lamp, the timer must be installed on a load-side
wiring box.
PREPARING THE SWITCH ON THE LOAD SIDE
a.
Disconnect the power from the circuit by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the
fuse from the fuse box.
b.
Using the Load Side diagram shown below as a reference, label and remove the load
wire
(4)
from the common terminal and the Traveler-2 wire (7).
c.
Connect the jumper wire (supplied part
BB
), the load wire (4) from the common terminal
C, and the Traveler-2 wire (7) together. You should have three wires connected with one
wire nut.
d.
Connect the other end of jumper (6) back to the common terminal (C) on the switch.
Consider recording the marking/color coding of the Traveler-1 (5) and Traveler-2 (7) wires
so you can tell them apart for later use.
e.
Tuck the wires into the box, leaving room for the switch.
f.
Install the switch back into the box and install wall plate.
INSTALLING THE TIMER ON THE LINE SIDE
a. Using Line Side diagram as a visual guide, remove the line side 3-way switch and wires,
and label the wire removed from the common terminal (C).
b. Using Timer on Line Side as a visual guide, connect the line wire (1) to the LINE terminal
(3) on the timer.
c. Connect the white netural wire (2) from the switch box to the NETURAL terminal (5) on 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. Connect the white
jumper wire (supplied part BB) to all neutral wires bound together making sure the wire
nut is tight. Connect the white jumper wire to the NEUTRAL terminal (5).
d. Connect the traveler-1 wire (5) to the TRAVELER terminal (4) on the timer and the
traveler-2 wire (7) to the LOAD terminal (2) on the timer. Connect the ground wire (3)
(green or bare wire in box) to the GROUND terminal (1) on the timer.
e. Carefully tuck the wires into the switch box, leaving room for the timer.
f. Use the supplied screws to install the timer, being careful not to crush or pinch the wires.
g. Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box and install wall plate.
h. 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.
i. If the load does not operate properly, disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box. Then swap the wires connected to the load terminal (2) and traveler terminal (4). This
can be done on the timer.
