120VAC Application Controlling One 120VAC Load

A wiring diagram illustrates connecting the Timer Box to control a single 120VAC load. The diagram shows connections for Line (L), Neutral (N), Timer (T), and the load, with jumper J1 connecting L to T.

120VAC Application Controlling Two 120VAC Loads

A wiring diagram illustrates connecting the Timer Box to control two separate 120VAC loads. The diagram shows connections for Line (L), Neutral (N), Timer (T), and two loads, with jumper J1 connecting L to T.

240VAC Application Controlling One 240VAC Load

A wiring diagram illustrates connecting the Timer Box to control a single 240VAC load using dual-phase power (L1 and L2). The diagram shows connections for Line 1 (L1), Line 2 (L2), Neutral (N), Timer (T), and the load, with jumpers J1 and J2 used for power supply.

277VAC Application Controlling Two 277VAC Loads

A wiring diagram illustrates connecting the Timer Box to control two separate 277VAC loads. The diagram shows connections for Line (L), Neutral (N), Timer (T), and two loads, with jumper J1 connecting L to T.

Hot Water Heater Typical Wiring Diagram

A diagram shows a typical wiring setup for a hot water heater using the Timer Box, connecting to a 120VAC hot water tank and a 240VAC (Dual-phase) circuit breaker box.

Operating Instructions

1. Set the current time: Turn the dial clockwise until the arrow indicates the current time.
2. Set ON/OFF periods: Push the pins in the inner ring for the periods of time you want the timer to be ON. Pins in the outer ring represent ON, and the inner ring represents OFF. Note: Pins indicated by the arrow cannot be pushed out; rotate the dial to make it work.
3. Manual Override: Push the manual override switch to the "O" position for OFF (power supply always OFF) or "I" position for ON (power supply always ON). Be sure to set the switch back to the timer function position for proper timer operation.
