Troubleshooting Guide Observed Problem Switch timer does not switch ON/OFF but display looks normal. Switch timer won't enter AUTO or RANDom mode when you press MODE. Possible Cause Switch timer is not set in AUTO, RANDom, or MANual mode. The time of day or timer settings have not been set. Programmed schedule(s) are incorrect. Switch timer is in RANDom mode, which varies switching times up to ±20 minutes (to give your home a "lived-in" look). The Astronomic and Specific switching times are in conflict. For example, you've set ON to DUSK and OFF at 8 pm, and due to seasonal changes, DUSK has advanced to 8:30 pm. NOTE: Your switch timer automatically skips any conflicting ON event as summer approaches to prevent unwanted operation of lights or other controlled devices. See "What to Do" if you want to identify and remove conflicting settings. Switch timer does not "catch up" automatically to the programmed load state. The status of the switch timer will remain as is until it comes to the next programmed ON/OFF time. The remote switch is wired incorrectly. There is an excessive length of wire (more than 100 feet), or there is buried wire to the switch. The remote switch is not functioning properly or worn out. · The remote switch or switch timer is wired wrong. · There is an excessive length of wire (greater than 100 feet) · There is buried wire to the remote switch. · The switch timer is not functioning properly. · Battery is not seated in the tray. · The tray is misaligned. · The contact tabs of the tray are bent. Though the "BATT" message is not being displayed, the battery is getting weak. The light or controlled device itself may be switched OFF. What to Do Press MODE to select the operational mode you want to use. Make sure the time of day and at least one scheduled activity have been set. Press ON/OFF to review the settings and revise them as necessary. See instructions at the left. If you don't want to keep the switch timer in RANDom mode, press MODE to change to AUTO mode.

Complete the steps for setting the Time and Switch timer switches at incorrect times or skips some of the programmed times. Date, then temporarily change the date to June 21st. 2. Review the DAWN and DUSK settings by pushing the ON/OFF button. 3. Make sure the specific ON or OFF time settings won't interfere with these DAWN and DUSK times. Make changes as necessary. 4. When finished, change the Date setting back to today's date. After entering your schedules or the time, then returning to the AUTO mode, push the ON/OFF button to change the load state if necessary. Recheck the wiring, especially for the jumper, according to "If a 3-way Switch Timer" and "If a Multiple Switch Timer Setup." Eliminate the condition: either replace the buried cable, do without the remote switch, or contact Intermatic Customer Service for more options. Replace the remote switch. If the problem persists with the switch timer's red wire disconnected or with a remote switch temporarily connected right at the switch timer, replace the non-functioning switch timer. Otherwise, try the above suggestions. The lights or controlled devices don't match the programmed ON/OFF status immediately after setting the time or programming a schedule. Load only operates when the remote (3-way) switch is in one position, or the switch timer ignores the remote switch. WARNING · Electrical shock hazard. Risk of injury or death. Remove electrical power at service panel before installing. · Risk of fire or burns from used battery. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100° C, crush, or incinerate the lithium battery. Keep battery out of reach of children. Replace only with Panasonic type CR2 or equivalent CR2 battery approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Use of a different battery type may present a risk of fire or explosion upon disposal of battery. · Risk of fire. Do not use timer to control devices that could have dangerous consequences due to inaccurate timing, such as sun lamps, sauna, heaters, crock pots, etc. NOTICE · Follow local electrical codes during installation. · Risk of timer damage due to leakage if weak battery is not replaced promptly. · Dispose of used battery promptly per local regulations. 3-WAY MAIN SWITCH 3-WAY REMOTE SWITCH f. Using diagram # 2 below, remove and reconnect wires "B" 1 ­ Before Installing Switch Timer, Install and Check Battery Before installing the switch timer into the wall, make sure the supplied battery is installed and working. 1. Open the access door to reveal the battery tray, located below the ON/OFF keypad. 2. If there is a pull tab at the battery tray, remove the tab to connect the installed battery. Make sure battery tray is pushed fully into place. Proceed to Step 6. 3. If the battery was supplied loose, use a flat screwdriver to pry loose the battery tray. 4. Place the supplied "CR2" battery into the tray, observing + and ­ markings on tray. 5. Replace the battery tray into the switch timer. 6. The display will initialize itself then flash "12:00 AM" in MANual mode. 7. Press the ON/OFF button. The switch timer should "click." NOTE: If display doesn't flash "12:00 am", the battery may be dead. Replace the battery before installing the switch timer. 2 ­ Install the Switch Timer and "C" to the "Common" terminal of your remote switch, using the supplied piece of jumper wire, if necessary.

Turn off power at the service panel by REMOVING FUSE or TURNING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OFF. 2. Remove the existing wall switch. 3. Trim building wires to 7/16" as shown. If a Single Switch Setup: 7/16" g. h. i. j. a. Connect one of the two wires BLACK WIRE INTERMATIC INCORPORATED SPRING GROVE, ILLINOIS 60081-9698 158ST13133 from the wall to the black wire from the switch timer, using the twist connectors provided. BLUE WIRE b. Connect the other wire from the wall to the blue wire from RED WIRE the switch timer, using the (capped, not connected) twist connectors provided. NOTE: The RED wire is not used in single-switch installations. Cap with a twist connector. 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 can be used at the remote location, as shown. 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 J and K for how to check. Tuck wires into the timer wall box leaving room for the timer. Using screws provided, mount the switch timer into the wall box, then install the wall plate. Install the remote 3-way switch in its box and install wall plate. Turn the power back on at the service panel. Make sure the switch timer displays "MAN" mode. Do the following test with the remote switch in each of its 2 positions: Press the ON/OFF button on the switch timer several times. Each time that you push the ON/OFF button, the switch timer should "click" and the controlled light or device (the "load") should turn on or off. If so, proceed to Step K. - 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 J. k. Verify that the controlled load turns on or off each time that the remote switch is operated. Your timer is now ready to be set. If a Multiple Switch Timer Setup: Multi-switch applications using the ST01 Series switch timer are wired differently than when using conventional toggle switches. Read the following installation instructions carefully. · Multiple switch timers may be mounted in an unlimited number of adjacent junction box slots. · No derating is required for multiple switch timers.
