Description and Operation
The RT-200 is an astronomic time clock that controls the connected light or fan either manually or through user programmed times. Upon installation, the user enters the correct longitude/latitude coordinates, date, and local time. This ensures that once the schedules are programmed, the load turns ON/OFF at the correct local times.
Lighted Switch: To help locate the switch button in a dark room, an amber LED illuminates the ON/OFF button while the controlledload is OFF. When the load is ON, the LED is OFF.
Installation & Wiring
WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT. ONLY CONNECT THE RT-200 TO A SINGLE POLE CIRCUIT. THE RT-200 IS NOT SUITABLE FOR 3-WAY SWITCHING. IF THE EXISTING WIRING DOES NOT MATCH THE DESCRIPTION FOR A SINGLE POLE CIRCUIT, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
-
Prepare the switch box.
After the power is turned OFF at the circuit breaker box, remove the existing wall plate and mounting screws. Pull the old switch from the wall box. -
Identify the type of circuit.
In a single pole circuit, two single wires connect to two screws on the existing switch. A groundwire may also be present and connected to a ground terminal on the old switch. A neutral wire should also be present in the wall box.- Black > HOT (power from circuit box)
- Red > LOAD (power to lamp or fan)
- White > NEUTRAL
- Green > GROUND Terminal
-
Prepare the wires
Tag the wires currently connected to the existing switch, so that they can be identified later. Disconnect the wires. Make sure the insulation is stripped off the wires to expose their copper cores to the length indicated by the “Strip Gauge” (approximately ½ inch). -
Wire the time switch.
Twist the existing wires together with the wire leads on the RT-200 as indicated in the table below. Cap them securely using the wire nuts provided.Power wire from the circuit (hot)| to| Black wire on RT-200
---|---|---

- Power wire from the lamp or fan (load) to Red wire on RT-200
- Neutral wires from the circuit to White wire on RT-200
- Ground wire from the circuit to Ground terminal on RT-200
-
Put the RT-200 in the wall box with the display positioned above the ON/OFF button.
Secure it to the wall box with the screws provided. -
Install cover plates.
Install industry standard decorator wall switch cover plate (not included). -
Restore power to the circuit.
Turn on the breaker or replace the fuse.
Setup
To access the programming buttons, place the tip of a flat head screwdriver behind the lip at the top of the ON/OFF button and pull the button toward you. Slide the ON/OFF button down over the wallplate.
Buttons: The three programming buttons are used to set up the astronomic time switch according to the user’s preferences and location.
- Lower Button: Select
- Center Button: Select/Save Menu/Raise
- Save/Slide Down ON/OFF Button
RT-200 Menu Options: Once in the SETUP menu if there is no activity for 10 minutes, the unit automatically exits out to the MAIN PAGE. From the standard display, known as the MAIN PAGE press and release the button to enter SETUP menu.
VIEWING SETTINGS
Once the RT-200 has been completely set up, it is possible to see the
various programs without needing to enter the SETUP menu. From the MAIN PAGE
press and hold the ON/OFF button. After 5 seconds the display changes to show
the sunrise and sunset time. Continue to press and hold the ON/OFF button. The
display will cycle through the 8 programs. Once the RT-200 has completed this
cycle, it will continue to cycle through the programs as long as the button is
being pressed.
MANUAL-ON
When the lights are turned ON manually, the word MANUAL appears on the bottom
left corner of the display. The load stays ON until it is manually turned OFF
or until a scheduled program turns the load off. For example, if the load was
scheduled to be turned OFF at a set time, such as 10:00 PM, and it was
manually turned ON before 10:00, then at 10:00 the load automatically turns
OFF and the program number that turned it OFF will replace MANUAL on the
display. When the load is on the light bulb on the lower right corner of the
display on the MAIN PAGE will have light beams surrounding it. When the
connected load is off, the light beams will disappear.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a loss of power to the RT-200, the unit will maintain the
correct time, location and settings for 72 hours.
