- This device is intended for outdoor use and is housed in a rainproof enclosure. Ensure the enclosure is securely closed after installation and servicing.
Instalación e Configuración
Montaxe do Envolvente
- Select a suitable location for mounting the timer. The location should be easily accessible for programming and maintenance, and protected from direct sunlight if possible to prolong LCD life.
- Use appropriate mounting hardware (not included) to secure the enclosure to a flat, vertical surface. Ensure the enclosure is level.
Instrucións de cableado
AVISO: Disconnect power at the main service panel before wiring. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
- Open the timer enclosure.
- Identify the input terminals (LINE 1, LINE 2, NEUTRAL) and output terminals for each of the three circuits (LOAD 1, LOAD 2, LOAD 3).
- Connect the incoming power supply wires to the appropriate input terminals. For 120V operation, connect LINE 1 and NEUTRAL. For 240V operation, connect LINE 1 and LINE 2.
- Connect the load wires for each device you wish to control to the corresponding output terminals.
- Ensure all wire connections are tight and secure. Use copper conductors only, rated for at least 75°C.
- Close and secure the enclosure door.
