User guide

7-day Solar Programmable Wall Switch

The PLS750C/PLS751C programmable wall switch has been designed to control lights and motors:



Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.



Remove the existing switch. (For a 3-way installation, identify and label the wire that is connected to
the “common” screw.)



Install the new switch (see the appropriate section below).



Apply power at the circuit breaker.

SINGLE-SWITCH INSTALLATION

EXISTING 3-WAY INSTALLATION

Connect the LOAD wire on the PLS750C/PLS751C to the “common” wire, which you identified when
removing the old switch. Connect the NEUTRAL wire to the neutral (white) wires. Connect the LINE and 3-
WAY wires to the two remaining wires. At the other 3-way switch, connect the jumper wire between the
“common” screw and the screw where the LINE wire of the PLS750C/PLS751C is connected.

NOTE

: If the timer screen does not turn on when you apply power at the circuit break (step 4), cut the power

at the circuit breaker again, switch the blue (LOAD) and the black (LINE) wires and reapply power.

NEW 3-WAY INSTALLATION

The switch will turn the lights on at sunset and turn them off at 11:00 pm by default. If these settings are
appropriate for you, you only need to set the time and date (see shaded zone in the menu flowchart sheet).
If the switch’s sunset time does not correspond to the actual sunset time, see sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4.

5.1

Mode Menu

You can use the Mode menu to select one of the three modes of operation (see sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.3).

5.1.1 Manual Mode

In Manual mode, the switch operates like a regular switch. To turn the lights on or off,
briefly press the main button. The icon appears when the switch is in Manual mode.

5.1.2 Automatic Mode

In Automatic mode, the switch turns the lights on or off according to the set programs (see
Section 5.4). The

icon as well as the current program number are displayed.

5.1.3 Random Mode

In Random mode, the switch has no specific times to turn the lights on or off. This mode is
designed to give the impression the house is occupied during your absence. It is similar to the
Automatic mode except there is no fixed program. The programs are automatically set to different
times by the switch every day. The

icon appears when the switch is in Random mode.

The first “On” program occurs at sunset. Each “On” program lasts between 1 hour and 1
hour and 30 minutes; each “Off” program lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. The last “Off”
program occurs between 10:30 pm and midnight.

5.1.4 Temporary Override

When the switch is in Automatic or Random mode, you can press the main button at any time to override the
default state for the current program. The lights will turn off if they are on and vice versa. The icon (On or Off)
of the new state flashes to indicate that the state is temporary. The new state is maintained until you press
the main button again or till the next “On” or “Off” program.

5.2

Time Menu

The time display flashes on the screen when the time has not yet been set or after a 4-hour power outage.
Use the Time menu to select the time format (12-hour or 24-hour) and to set the clock and date.

NOTE

: The date is used to determine the sunset and sunrise times.
