4. Setup and Installation

The Intermatic E1010 timer is designed for in-wall mounting in a standard junction box. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Disconnect Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the power to the junction box where the timer will be installed. Turn off the power completely. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Prepare Wiring: Carefully remove the existing switch or outlet from the junction box. Identify the line (hot), load, and ground wires.
3. Wire Connections: Connect the timer's wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram provided with the product (refer to product-specific wiring diagrams for detailed instructions). Typically, this involves connecting:
   • Line (incoming power) to the timer's line terminal.
   • Load (to the device being controlled) to the timer's load terminal.
   • Ground wire to the timer's ground screw.
   Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
4. Mount Timer: Gently push the wired timer into the junction box. Secure the timer to the junction box using the provided mounting screws.

6. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

This image displays the front of the Intermatic E1010 mechanical timer, featuring a circular dial with hour markings (AM/PM, Noon/Night) and two adjustable trippers (one orange, one black) for setting ON/OFF times. The 'Intermatic' logo is visible at the bottom.

5. Operating Instructions

The E1010 timer allows for one ON/OFF cycle within a 24-hour period using its permanently attached trippers. The dial is marked with AM/PM and Noon/Night indicators.

1. Set Current Time: Rotate the central dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the stationary orange pointer located at the top of the dial. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM hours (e.g., 3 PM is different from 3 AM).
2. Set ON Time: The orange tripper indicates the ON time. Slide this tripper around the dial to the desired time you want the connected device to turn ON. The timer is programmable in 30-minute intervals.
3. Set OFF Time: The black tripper indicates the OFF time. Slide this tripper around the dial to the desired time you want the connected device to turn OFF.
4. Manual Override: The timer can be manually turned ON or OFF by pushing the small lever located above the dial. Pushing it one way will turn the device ON, and pushing it the other way will turn it OFF, overriding the set program until the next scheduled event.

The timer will automatically cycle through the set ON and OFF times daily. The internal mechanism will continue to rotate the dial, advancing the time.

6. Maintenance

The Intermatic E1010 mechanical timer is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the timer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the unit or cause electrical hazards.
• Inspection: From time to time, visually inspect the timer for any signs of damage, loose connections, or unusual wear. If any issues are observed, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
