TIMER INSTALLATION

Select a location

Choose a location near power and away from direct sunlight, if possible. This

location should also have a good Wi-Fi signal. You can check this using a smart

phone. (Find a location that has a minimum of two bars)

Mount the timer

Install a screw (included) into the wall. Use the expanding anchors (included) for

plaster, masonry or drywall installations. Hang the timer on the installed screw

using the keyhole slot. Level the timer and drive the second screw through one

of the preformed mounting holes to secure the timer.

Note:

If replacing a timer, it is helpful to take a photo of the wires before

you remove them from the old timer.
