Time Switches - How to Wire a Time Switch

Time switches have line and load connections. Quite simply the line connection is the feed coming in from the circuit or breaker that will feed the time switch. Strip the black line wire's insulation about ½” and place it under the next terminal (center terminal) available on the time switch. In the photo, you'll notice that this is the second terminal from the left. Tighten the wire snugly and form the wire into the bottom of the box.
