GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION:
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER TO THE TIME
SWITCH AND THE LOADS BEFORE INSTALLING THIS
TIME SWITCH.
1. Mount the time switch in the desired location using the
three mounting holes which are provided. Mount the
time switch at eye level, if possible, providing
sufficient room to the left of the enclosure for the
cover to swing open fully. (See Fig. #2). The time switch
mechanism does not need to be removed from the
enclosure to mount the time switch since the top mount-
ing hole is a slotted type mounting hole. Secure a screw
or other fastener at eye level. The head of the screw
of fastener should be slightly larger than the narrow
portion of the slotted hole to ensure that the time switch
is securely held in place. The remaining two mounting
holes provide a means to secure the time switch.
2. If you do remove the mechanism, refer to Figure #3 and
remove the mechanism from the case by depressing
the catch at the top of the case and pulling out.
CAUTION:

COULD DAMAGE THE MICROPROCESSOR.

3. Replace the mechanism in the case if it has been
removed, making sure to engage ribs at sides of
mechanism between ears at sides of case before
snapping in place.
4. Lift the left side of the insulator off of the retaining post
and pivot it up and away to expose the terminal
screws.
5. Strip the supply and load wires by removing 1/2 inch of
insulation. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE. Insert
the wire ends under the proper terminal plates and
tighten the screws firmly. Use any size wire,
AWG #10 through #18. Connect ground wire to
grounding terminal at bottom of case.
6. Replace the plastic insulator.
7. Follow instructions for battery installation. Be sure that
the battery is functioning properly. This can be checked
by seeing that the display is visible. If the display
has scrambled information, check to be sure that
the polarity orientation of the battery is as shown on
the cover label, then press the RESET switch and hold
for at least two seconds. Note that the battery can
easily be replaced without removing the time
switch mechanism or field wiring. Simply press in and
downward (in the direction of the arrow) on the
battery cover which is identified with the word "Battery".
It is recommended that the battery be replaced with a
"AA" industrial grade alkaline cell at two to three
