nApplications

The TI073 programmable wall switch can be used in a single-switch or 3-way installation with the following types of lighting:

• Incandescent • Halogen • Low-voltage halogen with transformer • Fluorescent

The TI073 switch cannot be used with a load of less than 40 W or more than 500 W.

oInstallation

nCut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.

oRemove the existing switch. (For a 3-way installation, identify and label the wire connected to the “common” screw.)

pInstall the new switch (see the appropriate section below).

qApply power at the circuit breaker.

WARNING: Disconnect power to the switch when replacing a light bulb (see section 4).

pQuick Start-up

Set the time and date before using the switch for the first time.

The TI073 will turn the lights on at sunset and turn them off at 11:00 pm by default. If these settings are appropriate for you, you only need to set the time and date (see shaded zone in the menu flowchart sheet). If the switch’s sunset time does not correspond to the actual sunset time, see sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4.

Before replacing a light bulb, pull out to disconnect power to the switch.

This prevents, while the bulb is out, any possible short circuit which will damage the switch. Push back in after the light bulb is replaced.

rSetup Menus

Press the main button for 3 seconds to enter the setup menus. Refer to (3 sec.) the menu flowchart sheet on how to navigate the menus.

5.1Mode Menu

Use the Mode menu to select one of the three modes of operation (see sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.3).

Connect the LINE and 3-WAY wires to the line (120 V) wire and LOAD wire to the load. Connect the GND wire to a ground screw inside the electrical box.

Connect the LOAD wire on the TI073 to the “common” wire, which you identified when removing the old switch. Connect the GND wire to a ground screw inside the electrical box. Connect the LINE and 3-WAY wires to the two remaining wires. At the other 3-way switch, connect the jumper wire between the “common” screw and the screw where the LINE wire of the TI073 is connected.

5.1.1 Manual Mode

In Manual mode, the TI073 operates like a regular switch. To turn the lights on or off, briefly press the main button. The icon appears when the switch is in Manual mode.

5.1.2 Automatic Mode

In Automatic mode, the TI073 turns the lights on or off according to the set programs (see Section 5.4). The icon as well as the current program number are displayed.

5.1.3 Random Mode

In Random mode, the TI073 has no specific times to turn the lights on or off. This mode is designed to give the impression the house is occupied during your absence. It is similar to the Automatic mode except there is no fixed program. The programs are automatically set

to different times by the TI073 every day. The icon appears when the switch is in Random mode.

The first “On” program occurs at sunset. Each “On” program lasts between 1 hour and 1 hour and 30 minutes; each “Off” program lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. The last “Off” program occurs between 10:30 pm and midnight.

5.1.4 Temporary Override

When the TI073 is in Automatic or Random mode, you can press the main button at any time to override the default state for the current program. The lights will turn off if they are on and vice versa. The new state icon (On or Off) flashes to indicate that the state is temporary. The new state is maintained until you press the main button again or till the next “On” or “Off” program.
