Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your Intermatic 610224 Digital 7-Day Timer.

1. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the power to the switch you are replacing. Turn off the power completely. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Remove Existing Switch: Carefully remove the wall plate and unscrew the existing switch from the wall box. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, noting which wire is connected to which terminal (Line, Load, Neutral, Ground).
3. Wiring Connections: The Intermatic 610224 timer requires Line (hot), Load, Neutral, and Ground connections. Connect the wires from the wall box to the corresponding terminals on the timer:
   • Connect the Line (Hot) wire (usually black) from the power source to the terminal marked 'LINE'.
   • Connect the Load wire (usually black, going to the fixture) to the terminal marked 'LOAD'.
   • Connect the Neutral wire (usually white) to the terminal marked 'NEUTRAL'.
   • Connect the Ground wire (usually bare copper or green) to the terminal marked 'GROUND'.

   Note: A wiring diagram is typically included with the product packaging. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

4. Mounting: Gently push the wired timer into the wall box. Secure it with the provided screws. Attach the new wall plate.
5. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box. The timer display should illuminate.

Maintenance

The Intermatic 610224 Digital 7-Day Timer requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: To clean the timer, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
