Please contact 1-844-871-8796 for further assistance.

Please reference page 1 to identify the right installation method for your timer and basic wiring terms.

Single-Pole Installation

WARNING: If you are unsure or unclear about this installation, or if the wires in your box do not match the manual (not all switch boxes have

neutral wires), contact a qualied, licensed electician.

Disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

a. Remove the existing switch.

b. Connect the timer to the wall box wires as shown. See Figure 2.

□ Connect the hot/live Line wire to the LINE terminal of the timer.

□ Connect the hot/live Load wire to the LOAD terminal of the timer.

□ Connect the Ground wire to the GROUND terminal of the timer.

□ Connect the white Neutral wire to the NEUTRAL terminal of the timer. Often the Neutral 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 timer Neutral wire to the other neutral wires, bound together making sure the wire nut is tight.

c. Ensure that all terminals are tightened to between 8.85 and 12.39 lbf-in., and tuck the wires into the wall box, leaving

room for the timer.

d. Use the screws (BB) to mount the timer to the wall box, being careful not to crush any wires.

e. Reinstall your wall plate.

f. Turn the main power on at the circuit breaker.

g. If the timer does not turn on, disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Swap the Line and Load wires

on the timer. Remount the timer and wall plate, then restore power at the fuse box or circuit breaker.

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 uorescent 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 of Figure 3 as a visual reference, label and remove the Line wire (1) from the

common terminal (C) and the Traveler-2 wire (7) from the HOT terminal (H).

c. Using Figure 4 as a visual reference, connect the jumper wire (6) (supplied part CC), 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 the jumper wire (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. Carefully tuck the wires into the box, leaving room for the switch.

f. Install the switch back into the box.

INSTALLING THE TIMER ON THE LOAD SIDE

a. Using the Load Side of Figure 3 as a visual reference, remove the Load Side 3-way switch

and the four wires, labeling the wire removed from the common terminal as Load (4) and the

wires from the HOT terminals (H) as Traveler-1 (5) and Traveler-2 (7).

b. Using the Timer On Load Side of Figure 4 as a visual reference for the remaining steps,

connect the Load wire (4) to the LOAD terminal of the timer.

c. Connect the Traveler-2 wire (7) to LINE terminal of the timer.

d. Connect the Traveler-1 wire (5) to the TRAVELER terminal of the timer.

e. Connect the white Neutral wire (2) from the switch box to the NEUTRAL terminal of the timer.

More neutral wires may be bundled in the back of the switch box; there may be several

neutral wires bound together with a wire nut. Add the Neutral wire to the other neutral wires

bound together, ensuring the wire nut is tight.

f. Connect the green Ground wire (3) in the switch box to the GROUND terminal of the timer.

g. Carefully tuck the wires into the switch box, leaving room for the timer.

h. Use the supplied screws (BB) to install the timer, being careful not to crush or pinch the

wires.

i. Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

j. Verify that the load turns on/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.

k. If the load does not operate properly, disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

Then swap the Traveler-2 (Line) wire (7) and Traveler-1 wire (5) on the timer.

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 Switch On Load Side of Figure 5 as a visual reference, label and remove the Load

wire (4) from the common terminal (C) and the Traveler-2 wire (7) from the HOT terminal (H).

c. Using Figure 6 as a visual reference, connect the jumper wire (6) (supplied part CC), 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 the jumper wire (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. Carefully tuck the wires into the switch box leaving room for the timer.

f. Install the switch back into the box.

INSTALLING THE TIMER ON THE LINE SIDE

a. Using the Line Side of Figure 5 as a visual reference, remove the Line Side 3-way switch and

the four wires, labeling the wire removed from the common terminal (C) as Line (1) and the

wires from the HOT terminals (H) as Traveler-1 (5) and Traveler-2 (7).

b. Using the Timer on Line Side of Figure 6 as a visual reference for the remaining steps, connect

the Line wire (1) to the LINE terminal of the timer.

c. Connect the white Neutral wire (2) to the NEUTRAL terminal of the timer. More neutral wires

may be bundled together in the back of the switch box; there may be several neutral wires

bound together with a wire nut. Add the Neutral wire to the other neutral wires bound together,

ensuring the wire nut is tight.

d. Connect the Traveler-1 wire (5) to the TRAVELER terminal of the timer and the Traveler-2 wire

(7) to the LOAD terminal of the timer.

e. Connect the green Ground wire (3) to the GROUND terminal of the timer.

f. Carefully tuck the wires into the switch box, leaving room for the timer.

g. Use the supplied screws (BB) to install the timer, being careful not to crush or pinch the wires.
