BASIC WIRING TERMINOLOGY
To better familiarize yourself with the wiring terminology and concepts referenced in this manual, please review the following information before you begin wiring this timer to your switch outlet.
If at any time during the wiring process you become uncertain, please contact a certied electrician.
Line: 120VAC (hot) wire that supplies voltage from the breaker box to the wall outlet
Load: 120VAC (hot) wire that connects the wall outlet to the device (load) being controlled
Neutral: 120V return connection completing the circuit to the breaker box
Ground: 120V safety wire providing a path for electricity to be discharged
Traveler-1 and Traveler-2: wires running between two 3-way switches for installations where an outlet is controlled by two switches
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
To begin the installation process, you must rst know what type of installation is needed. Below are the three different installation options. Please refer to the following descriptions for the installation
instructions that apply to you.
1 Single-Pole Installation (Go to install section 1 on page 2):
This installation option should be used when a switch only controls one outlet from a single location. Typically you would nd a single-pole switch in your bedroom or bathroom.
2 3-Way Installation, Load Side (Go to install section 2 on page 2):
This installation option replaces a switch which controls an outlet that can be controlled from two separate switches and in most installations has the common (hot) terminal tied to the
device/load. The switch turns OFF and ON. Typically these types of installations are in stairwells, hallways, and large rooms with multiple access points.
3 3-Way Installation, Line Side (Go to install section 3 on page 2):
This installation option replaces a switch which controls an outlet that can be controlled from two separate switches and in most installations has the common (hot) terminal tied to
120VAC. Typically these types of installations are in stairwells, hallways, and large rooms with multiple accesses points.
