5. Installation Instructions
This section provides general guidance for replacing a time clock motor. Always refer to the specific instructions for your Intermatic timer series for detailed steps.
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning any work, ensure that power to the timer unit is completely disconnected at the main circuit breaker or fuse box. Verify with a voltage tester.
- Access Timer: Open the timer enclosure to access the internal components. This may involve removing screws or latches.
- Identify Old Motor: Locate the existing time clock motor within the timer. Note its mounting position and how it connects to the timer's gears and electrical terminals.
- Disconnect Old Motor: Carefully disconnect the electrical leads from the old motor. Note the polarity if applicable, though most AC motors are not polarity sensitive. Detach the motor from its mounting bracket or clips.
- Install New Motor: Position the new Intermatic WG733-14D motor in the same location as the old one. Secure it using the existing mounting hardware or clips.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the 14-inch leads of the new motor to the appropriate terminals within the timer. Ensure connections are secure and free from loose strands.
- Verify Gear Engagement: Confirm that the motor's drive gear properly engages with the timer's gear train. The gears should mesh smoothly without binding.
- Close Timer: Carefully close the timer enclosure, ensuring all wires are clear of moving parts and pinch points.
- Restore Power: Restore power to the timer unit at the circuit breaker. Observe the timer's operation to ensure the motor is functioning correctly and the clock is advancing.
If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified electrician.
6. Operation
The Intermatic WG733-14D motor is an integral part of your compatible Intermatic time clock. Once correctly installed, it continuously rotates, driving the internal gears of the timer mechanism. This rotation ensures that the timer accurately tracks time and executes programmed switching operations (e.g., turning devices on or off) at the designated intervals.
The motor's function is automatic upon power supply, requiring no direct user interaction for its operation beyond the initial installation and ensuring continuous power to the timer unit.
7. Maintenance
The Intermatic WG733-14D time clock motor is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic inspection of the timer unit can help ensure its longevity and proper function:
- Visual Inspection: Annually, with power disconnected, visually inspect the motor and its connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
- Cleanliness: Keep the timer enclosure clean and free from dust, debris, or insect infestations, which can impede gear movement or cause overheating.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all electrical connections remain tight and secure.
No lubrication or internal servicing of the motor is required.
8. Troubleshooting
If your Intermatic timer is not functioning correctly after motor replacement, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Timer clock does not advance. | No power to the timer. Motor not properly connected. Gears are jammed or misaligned. | Check circuit breaker and power supply. Verify motor wiring connections are secure (with power off). With power off, gently check gear engagement; ensure no obstructions. |
| Timer makes unusual noise. | Gears are binding or damaged. Motor defect. | Disconnect power and inspect gears for damage or obstructions. If noise persists, the motor may be faulty. |
| Timer operates intermittently. | Loose electrical connections. Intermittent power supply. | With power off, check all wiring connections for tightness. Verify stable power supply to the timer. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Intermatic customer support or a qualified electrician.
