5. Installation and Wiring

Safety Precaution: Ensure power is disconnected before performing any wiring. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician if you are unsure.

1. Mounting: The timer is designed for 36mm DIN rail mounting. Securely attach it to the DIN rail in your electrical panel.
2. Power Supply Wiring (AC 110V):
   • Connect the Live (L) wire of your 110V AC power supply to the terminal labeled 'L' on the timer.
   • Connect the Neutral (N) wire of your 110V AC power supply to the terminal labeled 'N' on the timer.
3. Load Wiring (Output): The timer features a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relay with Common (C), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC) contacts.
   • Identify the load you wish to control (e.g., a lamp, fan).
   • Connect the Live wire from your power source (or a switched Live from a circuit breaker) to the Common (C) terminal, labeled '4' on the timer.
   • If you want the load to turn ON when the timer activates, connect one side of your load to the Normally Open (NO) terminal, labeled '5'. The other side of your load should connect to Neutral.
   • If you want the load to turn OFF when the timer activates (i.e., it's normally ON), connect one side of your load to the Normally Closed (NC) terminal, labeled '3'. The other side of your load should connect to Neutral.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
4. Initial Power-Up: After wiring, restore power. The LCD should illuminate. If the display is blank, press the 'RESET' button with a pointed object (e.g., a pen tip).
