Installation
⚠️ WARNING: To prevent risk of electric shock, cut off power supply before installation. Always have a qualified electrician install this product.
Step 1: Cut off power supply to the in-wall wiring box.
Step 2: Remove the existing device if any.
Step 3: Install the timer.
A. Single-Pole Installation
This describes a conventional single-pole installation.
Wiring:
- Ground wire: Connect the Ground wire in the wall box (or the earth screw) to the timer's GREEN wire.
- Neutral wire: Connect the Neutral wire in the wall box (from breaker) to the timer's WHITE wire. (The Neutral wire from the breaker should also be connected to the load's neutral wire.)
- Hot wire: Connect the hot wire in the wall box (from breaker) to the timer's BLACK wire.
- Load wire: Connect the load's hot wire (from the load, such as a light) to the timer's RED wire.
- The timer's BLUE wire should be capped off for safety.
B. 3-Way Installation
This describes a conventional 3-way installation. Ensure a neutral wire is available in the wall box.
Wiring (Timer-on-the-line-side installation):
- Ground wire: Connect the Ground wire in the wall box (or the earth screw) to the timer's GREEN wire.
- Neutral wire: Connect the Neutral wire in the wall box (from breaker) to the timer's WHITE wire. (The Neutral wire from the breaker should also be connected to the load's neutral wire.)
- Hot wire: Connect the hot wire in the wall box (from breaker) to the timer's BLACK wire.
- Travelers: Connect Traveler 1 (from the LINE side) to the timer's RED wire. Connect Traveler 2 (from the LINE side) to the timer's BLUE wire.
Wiring the LOAD side:
- Connect Traveler 1 (from the timer) and the load's hot wire to the COMMON terminal (usually black or copper colored) of the 3-way switch.
- Connect Traveler 2 (from the timer) to either terminal (usually brass colored) of the 3-way switch.
C. 4-Way Installation
This describes a conventional 4-way installation using one 3-way switch and one 4-way switch, with the timer on the line side. Ensure a neutral wire is available and mark all traveler wires for identification.
Wiring (Timer-on-the-line-side installation):
- Ground wire: Connect the Ground wire in the wall box (or the earth screw) to the timer's GREEN wire.
- Neutral wire: Connect the Neutral wire in the wall box (from breaker) to the timer's WHITE wire. (The Neutral wire from the breaker should also be connected to the load's neutral wire.)
- Hot wire: Connect the hot wire in the wall box (from breaker) to the timer's BLACK wire.
- Travelers (from LINE side 3-way switch to TIMER): Connect Traveler 1 from the LINE side 3-way switch to the timer's RED wire. Connect Traveler 2 from the LINE side 3-way switch to the timer's BLUE wire.
Wiring the 4-way switch:
- Connect Traveler 1 (from the LINE side, connected to timer's RED wire) to one terminal of the 4-way switch.
- Connect Traveler 2 (from the LINE side, connected to timer's BLUE wire) to another terminal of the 4-way switch.
- Connect Traveler 3 (from the 4-way switch) to one terminal of the LOAD side 3-way switch.
- Connect Traveler 4 (from the 4-way switch) to the other terminal of the LOAD side 3-way switch.
Wiring the LOAD side:
- Connect the wire going to the device (load) to the COMMON terminal of the LOAD side 3-way switch.
Step 4: Fix the timer to the wiring box and then mount the face plate.
Step 5: Apply power to the wiring box.
Button Layout and Screen Display
The timer features a large LCD screen displaying the current time, day, and operating status. Key buttons include: [DAY], [HOUR], [MIN], [PROG], [MANUAL], [ON/OFF], [DST], [RND], [CLK], [AUTO], [MAN].
The screen shows the current day(s) of the week, time (AM/PM), and icons for operating modes like [AUTO], [MAN], [DST], [RND], and [PROG].
Setting the System Time
Example: If it is 12:08 AM on Monday:
- Press the [PROG] button, then press the [DAY] button until "MO" displays on top of the screen.
- Press the [HOUR] button until 12:00 AM displays on the screen.
- Press the [MIN] button until 12:08 AM displays on the screen.
Note: Press the [MANUAL] button to save and exit to the clock display, or press [PROG] to start setting programs. If no button is pressed for 6 seconds, the time will be automatically saved.
Setting the Program
To program ON/OFF events:
- Press the [PROG] button once (or twice from clock display). The screen will show "1 ON" and "PROG".
- Press the [DAY] button to select the desired day combination (e.g., MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU, or individual days).
- Use the [HOUR] and [MIN] buttons to set the desired ON time.
- Press the [PROG] button again to set the "1 OFF" time. Use [HOUR] and [MIN] to set the OFF time.
- Repeat steps 2-4 for additional ON/OFF programs (up to 18 pairs).
To review, change, or delete events, follow the programming steps. Press and hold the [MANUAL] button until the [AUTO] icon is shown to run the programmed schedules.
Day Combination Options: MO to SU, Individual days (MO, TU, etc.), MO to FR, SA, SU.
Clearing Settings: Press the [CLR] button to clear current settings. Pressing [CLR] again restores previous settings.
Switching Between Two Operation Modes
The timer operates in two modes: [AUTO] (runs programmed schedules) and [MAN] (manual override). Press and hold the [MANUAL] button for 4 seconds or longer to switch between modes. The corresponding icon ([AUTO] or [MAN]) will appear on the screen. In either mode, the [MANUAL] button can be pressed to alter the timer's output status.
Switching ON/OFF DST
Press and hold the [HOUR] button for 4 seconds or more to switch Daylight Saving Time ([DST]) on or off. The [DST] icon will appear on the screen when active.
Random Security
Press and hold the [MIN] button for 4 seconds or more to activate or deactivate the random security feature. The "RND" icon indicates it is active. This feature postpones ON and OFF events by 0-30 minutes. At least one ON/OFF program must be set for this feature to work.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| Timer does not turn on or off as programmed. | Programs were not correctly set. [DST] or random function is active. Timer is in manual mode. Programs are overlapped. | Re-program the timer. Deactivate [DST] or random function. Switch the operation mode to [AUTO]. Review and correct programs. |
| No screen display or faded display. | Low battery. | Energize the timer to charge the internal battery for 10 minutes and then press the [RESET] button to reset the timer. |
Resetting the Timer
If the screen display is blank or faded, charge the battery for 10 minutes, then press the [RESET] button. The system will initialize, and the clock display will appear after a short period or button press. Note: System time and all settings will be erased after a reset.
