Wiring Connection
WARNING: SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD. Wiring should be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect power before wiring.

Connection diagram showing power input (L, N) and load output (N, L) terminals for the timer switch. The internal switch is rated for 25A.
Connect the incoming power supply to the "POWER" terminals (L and N). Connect the device to be controlled to the "LOAD" terminals (N and L). Ensure correct polarity and secure all connections.
For 240V applications in the US, connect the two line side wires to the two left side terminals (L and N for input) and the load side to the two right side terminals (N and L for output). Both neutral and ground wires typically bypass the timer.
