Follow these steps for safe and proper installation:

  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 was connected to which terminal (typically Line, Load, and Ground).

    • Black (Line): Connect to the incoming hot wire from the circuit breaker.
    • Red (Load): Connect to the wire going to the light fixture or appliance.
    • Green (Ground): Connect to the bare copper or green ground wire in the wall box.
    Use wire nuts to secure all connections. Ensure connections are tight and no bare wire is exposed.
  4. Mount the Timer: Gently fold the wires into the wall box. Insert the timer into the wall box and secure it with the provided mounting screws.
  5. Install Wall Plate: Attach a standard wall plate (not included) over the timer.

Note: The ST01 is designed for flush mounting and requires a standard electrical wall box.
