INSTALLATION
Note: For outdoor locations, raintight or wet local conduit
hubs that comply with requirements of UL 514B (standard
for fittings for conduit and outlet boxes) must be used.
1. Open door and then remove interior protective
cover by releasing spring clip on bottom.
2. Remove timer mechanism by releasing spring clip
on bottom.
3. Select knockouts to be used. Remove inner 1/2”
knockout by inserting a screwdriver in the slot and
carefully punch knockout loose. Remove slug. If 3/4”
knockout is required, remove the outer ring with pliers
after removing the 1/2” knockout. Smooth edges with
knife if necessary.
4. Place enclosure in desired mounting location and
mark the three mounting holes (refer to diagram).
Start by placing set screw on top and attaching
enclosure over keyhole; then screw in remaining
two screws on bottom.
5. Connect conduit hubs to conduit before connecting the
hubs to the enclosure. After inserting hubs into enclo-
sure, carefully tighten hub lock nut. Do not over-torque.
6. Verify input voltage selection. Refer to DIP switch
diagram for desired input voltage.
7. Wire in accordance with National and Local Codes
(see wiring diagrams).
8. Grounding: Terminate all ground wires to ground
lug on bottom of enclosure.
9. Replace interior protective cover.

INPUT VOLTAGE DIP SWITCH SETTING:
1. Do not apply power to the GM40 prior to setting correct
Input Voltage DIP switch.
2. Determine the input voltage which will be applied to the GM40
(i.e. L1 and L2/N terminals, see wiring diagrams).
3. Set the DIP Switch according to the diagram below.
NOTE:
Unit is shipped with DIP Switches set for 277VAC Input Voltage.

APPLICATION
THE GM40 Multi-Volt Series Time Controls are
universal, electromechanical time switches which can
be eld congured for various power supply voltages.
The Voltage options include 120VAC, 208/240VAC and
277VAC-all within the same unit! Selection of the
desired supply voltage is easily achieved by selecting
the DIP to the corresponding input voltage as indicated
on the printed circuit board assembly (refer to “input
voltage DIP switch setting section on page 1). The
mechanism is mounted in a UL TYPE 3R outdoor
enclosure and has been designed for the control of
lighting, heating, air conditioning, pumps, motors, or
general electrical circuits in residential, commercial,
industrial and agricultural facilities. All GM40 models
are available as “Mechanism Only” (-M) for installation
in other enclosures or control panels.
SPECIFIERS GUIDE
Furnish and install an Intermatic GM40 Multi-Volt
Series 24 hour or (7 day) time switch with captive
trippers and quartz or synchronous drive. Input voltage
shall be 120, 208/240 or 277VAC selectable via simple
to set DIP switch. All units shall incorporate both SPDT
and DPDT contacts that shall be rated at 40A, 2 HP @
277V. To set the starting time and to provide time
indication, the unit shall have an authentic clock face
with hour and minute hands. LED indicators shall
provide Power and Status feedback. Enclosure shall be
UL TYPE 3R suitable for both indoor or outdoor
installation. Time Switch shall contain an OFF/AUTO/
ON manual override. For Carry-over: The time switch
shall have a quartz drive with 7 day reserve carry-over.
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE TIME: Rotate the program dial
gradually clockwise until the day of the week (7 day)
and time of day on the outer dial is nearly aligned with
the triangle marker at 2 o’clock position. Then set time
to the minute by rotating minute hand clockwise.
CAUTION: Do not rotate dial or minute hand
counter-clockwise.
PROGRAMMING: The 24 hour model has trippers of
15 minute increments, and an AM/PM indication on the
outer dial. The 7 day model has trippers of 2 hour
increments. the outer dial shows the 7 days of the
week and AM/PM for each day. Push the captive
trippers outward for the time period(s) that the load is
to be on (Normally open contacts closed).
MANUAL OVERRIDE: With the manual switch in the
middle position, the GM40 is in automatic mode and
will switch at the programmed times. In the upper
position “I”, the load is permanently OFF.
BATTERY POWERED RESERVE
(Quartz Models):
In case of power failure, the built-in nickel-metal
hydride battery maintains the time of day for 7 days.
During power outage relays are de-energized.
The GM40 is the only electromechanical general purpose time switch that offers multi-voltage selection, SPDT and
DPDT contacts, 40 Amp rating, indoor and outdoor enclosure - all standard in one model.

PROBLEM: LOAD (Lights/Pumps/Motor, etc.) does not turn ON
1. Check ORANGE Power LED, if ON it indicates power is applied to GM40.
2. Verify correct input voltage DIP switch setting (refer to page 1).
3. Check voltage across terminals L1 and L2/N with Multi-meter.
4. Slide manual override switch (located on right side of timer module) up.
The GREEN LED should illuminate indicating that the output should be ON.
5. Check wiring (refer to page 3).
PROBLEM: LOAD (Lights/Pumps/Motor, etc.)
does not turn OFF
1. Verify manual override switch is set to the middle position.
2. Verify correct programming dial (refer to page 2).
3. Slide manual override switch (located on right side of timer module) down.
The GREEN LED should turn OFF indicating that the output should be OFF.
