OWNER/INSTALLER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ATTENTION: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL YOUR INTERMATIC
TIME SWITCH. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE! RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Description
The Intermatic Electronic 24 Hour Time Switch automatical-
ly switches loads according to a preset daily schedule.
This time switch is designed to directly switch loads up to
30 amps and to switch resistive or inductive loads up to
the time switch rating. For use as a control timer in
applications requiring 24 hour load control such as
lighting, heating, air conditioning systems, pumps,
etcetera. Up to eight set points or events (4 ON/4 OFF) can
be preset. this schedule will repeat on a daily basis. The
program can be overridden by using the MANUAL position.

General Safety Information
WARNING: Disconnect all power before installing or
servicing this time switch or its connected loads.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, National
Electric Code (NEC), as well as Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA).
2. If the power disconnect point is out of sight, lock it in the “OFF”
position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.
3. This time switch case must be grounded.
4. Do not exceed the maximum current carrying capacity of this
time switch.
5. Always replace the plastic insulator covering the terminal
before turning power “ON”.

Installation
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 Figure #1 and Figure #3) The time
switch mechanism does not need to be removed from
the enclosure to mount the time switch since the top
mounting hole is a slotted type mounting hole. Secure a
screw or other fastener at eye level. the head of the
screw or 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 are accessible without removing the
time switch mechanism and will provide secure and
permanent mounting of the time switch.
2. If you do remove the mechanism, refer to Figure #1 and
remove the mechanism from the case by depressing the
catch at the top of the case and pulling out. Timer is
shipped set for 240 VAC timer supply operation by
means of a plastic covered shorting bar on the printed
circuit board. To operate timer at 120, 208 or 277 VAC,
move the shorting bar to the appropriate setting, as
marked on circuit board. (See Fig. 2).
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE CIRCUIT BOARD
COMPONENTS SINCE STATIC DISCHARGE COULD
DAMAGE THE MICROPROCESSOR.,
3. Replace the mechanism in the case if it has been
removed.
4. Lift the left side of the insulator off of the retaining post
and pivot it up and away to expose the terminal strip.
5. Strip the supply and load wires by removing 1/2 inch of
insulation. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE. (See
figures 4 or 5). Insert the wire ends under the proper
terminal plates and tighten the screws firmly. Use AWG
#10 through #18. Connect ground wire to grounding
terminal at bottom of case.
6. Replace the plastic insulator.
7. Be sure that the battery is functioning properly. This can
be checked by making sure the display is visible. If the
display has scrambled information, press the RESET
switch and hold for three to five 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 year
intervals as part of the normal time switch maintenance
observing battery polarity markings when installing. No
other maintenance is required.
8. Place the selector switches in the “MANUAL” and
“RUN” positions.
9. Reapply power to the time switch.

10. Press the reset switch for three to five seconds. The
display will now show 12:00 A.M. and Event #1. The

required.

Programming Steps
Refer to programming instructions on time switch door
label and note the following:
• The MANUAL/AUTO selector can be used to temporarily
override the program. Under normal operation the
selector should be in the AUTO mode. The MANUAL
mode maintains the program but prevents the loads
from automatically switching.
• The other selector switch is used to set the time of day
(TIME SET), the program information (PROGRAM) or to
run the program (RUN). FOR A PROGRAM TO
FUNCTION PROPERLY, THE TWO SELECTOR
SWITCHES MUST BE IN THE AUTO AND RUN
POSITIONS.
•The RESET switch is used only prior to initially programming
the time switch or to erase all programmed set points.
• By holding the hour and/or minute buttons depressed
you can achieve a fast roll of the displayed time. This is
useful when setting the time of day or setting the
programmed set points (events).
• Up to 4 ON and 4 OFF set points (8 events) can be
programmed.
• The load can manually be switched ON or OFF at any
time only if the selector switch is in the RUN mode by
pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Pressing the ON/OFF button two times in the
PROGRAM mode causes the event time displayed to be
removed from the program. The display will show 0:00
and the Event (1 through 8).
To Operate Timer
After programming is complete, move the selector
switches to the RUN and AUTO positions. The time switch
will follow the scheduled program but will not immediately
“catch up” to the presently programmed load condition; the
time switch will “catch up” at the next scheduled ON or
OFF setpoint. If necessary, press the ON/OFF button to
turn the load on or off.
