SPECIFICATION
The Dial Timer is designed to be a direct replacement for a standard wall switch in a single gang 2 ½” deep junction box. Its dimensions and design are appropriate for this purpose, and it is easy to install without requiring any modifications to the existing setup. The timer features a spiral time scale that makes it easy to select a desired time setting, and it comes with a molded white knob and brushed metal finish wall plate that can be easily secured without screws or other hardware. The polymeric time dial is designed to replace a standard switch plate without requir-ing any modifications. Additionally, the timer is UL listed, ensuring its quality and safety. Overall, the Dial Timer is a convenient and reliable choice for replacing a standard wall switch and controlling various energy-consuming loads such as fans, lighting, motors, and heaters.
Installation Information
The spring wound timer is designed for easy installation, and can be installed just like a standard light switch in a 2-1/2 inch deep vertically installed junction box. It can be used to replace a standard single pole, 3-way, or double pole single-throw wall switch (depending on the timer model). Once installed, the spring wound timer will automatically turn off lights, fans, air conditioners, and other energy-consuming loads after a preset timing period, making it a convenient and energy-efficient choice for controlling various appliances.
INSTALLATION:
- Turn off the power to the circuit you’re working on by switching off the circuit breaker in your main electrical panel.
- Remove the cover plate from the existing switch by taking out the screws that hold it in place.
- Strip the wires about half an inch long according to the strip gauge on the back of the timer.
- Insert the stripped end of the wires under the pressure plate of the terminal screws on the side of the Dial Timer, using the screws provided in the plastic bag. Tighten the screws securely, and use copper wire only.
- Put the Dial Timer into a standard wall junction box that is 2-1/2 inches deep, making sure that the “TOP” (as indicated on the front of the timer) is in the correct position. Fasten the timer to the junction box using the two long screws provided.
- Slip the time dial plate over the threaded extension of the Dial Timer, with the “OFF” mark of the time dial plate on top as indicated on the front of the timer.
- Secure the time dial plate to the Dial Timer using the stamped nut that is provided.
- If you’re using a regular switch plate, the nut that comes with the timer will hold the plate in place, so you don’t need to use the screws that come with the plate. If you’re using a fancier plate, use the two screws that come with it to attach it to the metal tabs on the timer’s opposite ends. Just be sure not to tighten the screws too much.
- Slide the plastic time dial plate onto the threaded extension of the timer. Make sure that the “OFF” mark on the dial plate is facing up. Use the nut that comes with the timer to secure the dial plate in place. Be careful not to tighten the nut too much.
- Put the knob on the timer shaft so that the pointer on the knob is pointing to the “OFF” mark on the dial plate. The knob has a hole in the shape of the letter “D” that matches the “D” shaped shaft on the timer.
- Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
