repeat this procedure to set the OFF time to go with it.
The display will loop back to Step 2 above, ready
for you to set another program. Press + to display a
flashing “02” (Fig. 18).
To set PROGRAM 2, follow this procedure again,
•
beginning at Step 2 above.

The single lithium CR2 battery operates the ON/OFF function •
(“click-click”) and maintains time of day and date. The screen
flashes “BATT” when the battery is getting low.
It is recommended to remove AC power when changing the battery.
•
You have about one minute to s• wap batteries before the switch
timer “forgets” the date and time settings. Afterwards, if the display
is wrong or flashes “12:00 AM”, reset the time and date. All other
settings (your ON/OFF programming) remain in memory indefi-
nitely without battery or AC power.
To test the battery, press the
• ON/OFF button. The timer should “click.”
Replace the battery per Section 1 Instructions as soon as possible after
•
the low “BATT” message appears.
Do not leave exhausted battery in Switch Timer. (Risk of leakage.)
•
Replace only with Panasonic Type CR2 lithium battery or equivalent •
CR2 battery approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Dispose of the used battery promptly according to local regulations.
•
Keep battery away from children. Do not disassemble and do not
dispose of battery in fire.
Once set up, you have three choices for using the switch timer. To
make a selection, open the front cover and press the MODE button
until you see your choice of the following options:
AUTO
• — uses the timer settings you have programmed.
RANDom
• — gives your home a “lived-in” look by varying your
settings by a random amount of ± 20 minutes or so.
MANual
• — makes the switch into a standard ON/OFF switch
without timer settings. Press on the door of the switch timer for ON,
press again for OFF.
6 – Selecting AUTO, RANDom, or MANual Operation
Deleting an ON or OFF Setting
Use these steps to delete an existing ON or OFF setting that you no
longer want (for example, special settings from a vacation.)
Press
1. MODE until the screen displays ProGraM
below the time of day (Fig. 24).
Press
2. ON/OFF to display the program number, then
press the + button until you see the program num-
ber you want to delete (Fig. 25).
Press
3. ON/OFF, then the + button until SKIP is
displayed (Fig. 26). The switch timer will now sup-
press this setting.
Press
4. ON/OFF again to cycle through the program
until the display briefly shows SAVE.
Press
5. MODE to exit from programming and auto-
matically save your new settings.
NOTE: Repeat this step and select ON or OFF to reactivate the setting.
Changing Program Times
About the Battery
You have many options with up to 40 timer settings:
Set to a specific ON/OFF time.
•
Set to DAWN and DUSK, which automatically adjust as the seasons •
change. This is the ASTRONOMIC feature.
Set to activate ALL days, M-F, WeeKenD, or individual days.
•
Programs are created in two procedures: setting an ON time followed
by setting an OFF time. You must set each time separately. The instruc-
tions below will guide you as follows:
First, for setting an ON time, which can be DAWN or DUSK, or a
•
specific time such as 6:00 pm,
Then for setting an OFF time which can also be DAWN or Dusk, or
•
a specific time.
5 – Set Initial Pair of ON and OFF Times
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.
g.
Using screws provided, mount the switch timer into the wall box, h.
then install the wall plate.
Install the remote 3-way switch in its box and install wall plate.
i.
Turn the power back on at the service panel.
Make sure the switch timer displays “MAN” mode. Do the follow-
j.
ing 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.
Verify that the controlled load turns on or off each time that the remote
k.
switch is operated.
If a Multiple Switch Timer Setup:
Multi-switch applications using the EI600 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.
•
For a three-switch setup:
For four or more switch setups:
Use the preceding 3-switch installation diagram and wire 4-way
switches between the two 3-way switches.
NOTE: The remote switch(es) may not function reliably when the
accumulated wire length to the remote switch(es) exceeds 100 feet or
if the wiring to the remote switch(es) is buried underground. Contact
Intermatic Customer Service for details.
NOTE: Used remote switches from a previous conventional installation
may not function reliably with an electronic timer. Try a brand new
remote switch if function is intermittent.

2.
Trim building wires to 7/16” as shown.3.
If a Single Switch Setup:
Connect one of the two wires from the wall to the black wire from a.
the switch timer, using the twist
connectors provided.
Connect the other wire from the
b.
wall to the blue wire from the
switch timer, using the twist con-
nectors provided.
NOTE: The RED wire is not used in
single-switch installations. Cap with
a twist connector.
Connect the GREEN wire to the
c.
grounding screw in the box. If a plastic box, connect to ground as
supplied.
Make sure all twist connectors are tight.
d.
If a 3-Way Switch Setup:
NOTE: The distance between switch timer and remote switch must not
exceed 100 feet.
Locate the COMMON wire
a.
connected to first old switch.
It might be attached to a dif-
ferent colored screw, or find
markings on old switch.
Connect BLACK wire from
b.
switch timer to COMMON
wire, using a twist connector.
Connect the other two wires from the old switch to the Blue and
c.
RED wires from the switch timer.
Connect the GREEN wire to the grounding screw in the box. If a
d.
plastic box, connect to ground as supplied.
Using diagram #1 below. Identify and remove wire “C” from the
e.
“Common” terminal of your existing remote switch.
Using diagram # 2 below, remove and reconnect wires “B” and “C”
f.
to the “Common” terminal of your remote switch, using a jumper
wire, if necessary. Follow diagram # 3 below, if using a new single-
pole remote switch.
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.
