Installation Terms and Options
WARNING: Shut off power at the fuse box or circuit breaker before performing any wiring or installation.
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 certied electrician.
□Line: This is the 120 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: 120 volt return connection.
□Ground: 120 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 (Go to install section 1 on page 2):
This installation option should be used when a switch only controls one outlet 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 (Go to install section 2 on page 2):
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 (Go to install section 3 on page 2):
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.
