All electrical compo- nents and installation procedures must comply with all applicable local and national electrical codes. Some codes may require a means of dis- connection from the AC power source installed in the fixed wiring and having a contact separation of at least 0.120″ in the line and neutral poles.

Make sure the power source is OFF prior to con- necting the timer.

1.Route the power and equipment ground wires from the power source, through the conduit and into the timer transformer compartment.

Note: The timer terminal block accepts wire size up to 14 AWG (2mm2).

2.Remove 3/8″ (9mm) insulation from the wire ends.

3.Using a small flat blade screwdriver, secure the wires as shown to the terminal block as follows:
