BASIC WIRING TERMINOLOGY

To better familiarize yourself with the wiring terminology and concepts referenced in this manual, please review the following information before you begin wiring this timer to your switch outlet.

If at any time during the wiring process you become uncertain, please contact a certiﬁed electrician.

□ Line: This is the 120V AC (hot) from breaker box.

□ Load: This is the 120V AC wire that controls the xture (load out) which carries power to the light.

□ Neutral: 120V AC return connection.

□ Ground: 120V AC safety ground.

□ Traveler-1 and Traveler-2: Wires running between two 3-way switches for installations where a light is controlled by two switches.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

To begin the installation process, you must rst know what type of installation is needed. Below are the 3 different installation options. Please refer to the following descriptions for the

installation instructions that apply to you.

1. Single-Pole Installation (Complete steps 1-3 and 6 in the Installation section):

This installation option should be used when a switch only controls one light from a single location. A typical example of where you would nd a single-pole switch is your bedroom or

bathroom light switch.

2. 3-Way Installation, Load Side (Complete steps 1-2, 4, and 6 in the Installation section):

This installation option replaces a switch which controls a light that can be controlled from two locations and in most installations has the common (hot) terminal tied to the lamp/load the

switch turns OFF and ON. Typically these types of installations are in stairwells, hallways, and large rooms with multiple accesses points.

3. 3-Way Installation, Line Side (Complete steps 1-2, 5, and 6 in the Installation section):

This installation option replaces a switch which controls a light that can be controlled from two locations and in most installations has the common (hot) terminal tied to 120VAC. Typically

these types of installations are in stairwells, hallways, and large rooms with multiple accesses points.
