Intermatic EJ600 Series Installation And User Instructions Manual
7. Using diagram #2 remove and reconnect wires “B” and “C” to
the “COMMON” terminal of your remote switch, using the
supplied piece of jumper wire, if necessary.
NOTE: For new construction or to replace a dimmer switch, a
lighted switch, or a 3-way switch without screw terminals, a
single-pole switch should be used at the remote location, as
shown in diagram 3.
NOTE: If the building’s wiring colors don’t allow you to tell wire “A”
from “B”, just pick one of the two wires and connect as if it is wire “B”.
After the installation is complete, if the controlled light or device will
not turn on properly, simply reverse wires “A” and “B”. See Steps 11
through 14 below for how to check.
8. Gently tuck wires into the timer wall box leaving room for the timer.
9. Using screws provided, mount the switch timer into the wall
box, then install the wall plate.
10. Turn the power back on at the service panel.
11. Make sure the switch timer displays “MAN” mode. Perform the
test in Step 12 with the remote switch in each of its 2 positions.
12. Press the
NEXT/ON/OFF button on the switch timer several
times. Each time that you push the
NEXT/ON/OFF button, the
controlled light or device (the “load”) should turn on or off. If so
proceed to Step 14.
13. If the controlled light or device does not turn on or off, take one
of these actions.
- If the timer clicks but the load does not operate, re-check
your wiring and make sure the load is functional.
- If the timer clicks but the load only operates when the remote
switch is in one of its 2 positions, you need to turn off the
power at the service panel, then reverse wires “A” and “B”.
You can reverse wires “A” and “B” at the remote switch wall
box, or you can reverse wires “A” and “B” where they
connect to the red and blue wires of the switch timer. Then
turn power back on at the service panel and repeat Step 12.
14. Verify that the controlled load turns on or off each time that the
remote switch is operated. Your timer is ready to be set.
15. Proceed to Intro to Programming.
Installing the Switch Timer
1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse and verify that the
power is OFF before wiring.
2. Strip wire ends to 7/16”.
3. Make wire connections using the twist on
connectors provided.
4. Take one of these actions.
- If you have a single switch setup, then perform the
procedure “Installing the Timer with a Single Switch Setup”.
- If you have a 3-way switch setup, then perform the
procedure “Installing the Timer with a 3-way Switch Setup”.
Installing Switch Timer with a Single Switch Setup
1. Connect the LINE (Hot) wire from the wall to the black wire
from the switch timer with the twist
connectors provided.
2. Connect the LOAD wire from the wall to
the blue wire from the switch timer with
the twist connectors provided.
3.
NOTE: Cap the RED wire, which is
not used in single-switch installations,
with a twist connector.
4. Connect the BARE COPPER wire
to the grounding screw in the box
If a plastic box, connect to ground as supplied.
5. Connect the NEUTRAL (usually White) wire from the wall to the
WHITE wire from the timer.
6. Gently tuck wires into the timer wall box leaving room for the timer.
7. Using screws provided, mount the switch timer into the wall
box, then install the wall plate.
8. Turn the power back on at the service panel.
9. Go to “Intro to Programming: Read Before you Begin.”
Installing the Timer with a 3-Way Switch Setup
NOTE:
• The distance between switch timer and
remote switch must not exceed 100 feet.
• The timer must be installed in the wall box
that contains the LINE and Neutral
wires. The remote switch must be
installed in the wall box that contains
the load wire (“WIRE C” in diagram 1).
1. Using diagram #1 below, identify the
LINE wire previously connected to the COMMON terminal of
the old 3-way main switch.
2. Connect the BLACK wire from switch timer to the LINE wire,
using a twist connector.
3. Connect the other two wires from the old switch to the BLUE
and RED wires from the switch timer.
4. Connect the BARE COPPER wire to the grounding screw in the
box. If a plastic box, connect to ground as supplied.
5. Connect the NEUTRAL (usually White) wire from the wall to the
WHITE wire from the timer.
6. Using diagram #1 below, identify and remove wire “C” from the
“COMMON” terminal of your existing remote switch.
