Programmable Wall Switch
Applications
n
The TI034-3W switch can be used in a single-pole or 3-way installation with the following types of lighting:
• Incandescent
• Halogen
• Low-voltage halogen with transformer
• Fluorescent
The
TI034-3W
switch cannot be used with a load below 40 W or above 500 W.
Installation
o
n Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.
o Remove the existing switch. (For a 3-way installation, identify and label the
wire that is connected to the “common” screw.)
p Install the new switch (refer to the appropriate section below).
q Apply power at the circuit breaker.
NOTE A: The white wire is not the neutral wire but the wire going to the load.

Jumper
Connect wire "C" on the TI034-3W to the "common" wire, identified when removing the
old switch. Connect the other two TI034-3W wires to the two remaining wires.
At the other 3-way switch, connect the jumper wire between the "common" screw and the
screw where wire "1" of the TI034-3W is connected.

If the display is blank:
• Ensure the ON/OFF selector is properly
engaged in the ON position. Push it to the right
using a small screwdriver.
• If the programmable switch controls a lamp equipped with a built-in On/Off switch,
ensure the lamp switch is set to On.
• Ensure the light bulb is not burned out and is tightly screwed in its socket..
EXISTING 3-WAY INSTALLATION
If either switch does not work properly, rewire the jumper between the "common"
screw and the other screw.
WARNING: Before replacing the light bulb, place the ON/OFF selector in the OFF
position. Failure to do so might damage the switch.
Selecting the Operating Mode
q
The programmable switch has 2 operating modes: manual (MAN) and automatic
To switch mode, press the switch for 3 seconds.
(AUTO).
Manual Mode
The programmable switch operates as a regular switch. Briefly
press the switch door to turn the lights On or Off. The mode
(MAN) and state (ON or OFF) are displayed.
Automatic Mode
The programmable switch follows the programmed schedule.
The mode (AUTO), state (ON or OFF) and current program
number are displayed.
To temporarily override the programmed schedule, briefly
press the switch door. The new state (ON or OFF) will flash to
show that the state is temporary. The override remains in effect
until you press the switch door again or until the beginning of
the next program.

n To switch between 12-hour format and 24-hour format, proceed as follows:
a) Press one of the control buttons to ensure the MAN or AUTO indicator is dis-
played.
b) Press the MIN and HOUR buttons simultaneously and brieftly (0:00 display =
24-hour; 12:00 display = 12-hour ).
o Set the time using the HOUR and MIN buttons. For the 12-hour time format, if you
are setting an afternoon time, ensure PM appears on the screen.

Sunset/Sunrise Program
t
NOTE: By default, once you have programmed the sunset/sunrise parameters, the
timer will follow the sunrise/sunset program when placed in Automatic mode. To set
your own schedule, see section 8.
7.1 Determining the sunset/sunrise parameters
Fill out the following table:
Latitude Longitude Day # nor/Ad Lc
1) LATITUDE & LONGITUDE: Enter the coordinates of your city or the nearest
city using the supplied table. If none of the cities in the table is applicable, this information is usually available on the internet.
NOTE: Add a minus sign when entering a south latitude coordinate or a west longitude coordinate.
2) DAY #: Enter the day #. (Add the code of the current month to the current
date.)
For example: For June 24th, the day # = 151 + 24 = 175
January 0 May 120 September 243
February 31 June 151 October 273
March 59 July 181 November 304
April 90 August 212 December 334
3) nor/Ad: If your country has daylight savings time, select the appropriate period.
nor Standard time / Normal time / Winter time
Ad Daylight savings time / Advanced time / Summer time
4) Lc: If your city’s time zone is based on political or economic boundaries instead
of its coordinates, your lights might switch On/Off too early or too late with respect
to sunrise and sunset. Therefore, apply a correction factor (+1 or -1). Otherwise,
leave it at 0.
7.
If you have entered your city’s parameters (see section 7), the parameters P1
ON and P2 OFF show the sunset time and sunrise time for this time of the
year. If the timer is used for lighting, when placed in AUTO mode, it will turn
the light ON at sunset and will turn it Off at sunrise. For example:
P1 ON : 20:38 (sunset)
P1 OFF : --:-- (blank)
P2 ON : --:-- (blank)
P2 OFF : 6:10 (sunrise)
o Press the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the time.
Example: If you want your lights to turn On at sunset and to turn Off at 10:00
PM, set P1 OFF to 22:00. If you also want your lights to turn back On at 5:00
AM then turn Off at sunrise, set P2 ON to 5:00.
P1 ON : 20:38 (sunset)
P1 OFF : 22:00 (programmed)
P2 ON : 5:00 (programmed)
P2 OFF : 6:10 (sunrise)
NOTE: P1 OFF and P2 OFF have priority over P1 ON and P2 ON
respectively. For example, if sunrise is at 4:58 and P2 ON is set to 5:00, the
lights will not turn on.
You can replace the sunrise and sunset times by fixed times. Select program
P1 ON or P2 OFF and enter the desired time using the HOUR and MIN
buttons.
p Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal
operation.
Clearing a programmed time
n Press the PGM button to display the programmed time.
o Press the CODE button. The time will be erased and --:-- will be displayed.
NOTE: For P1 ON and P2 OFF, if you have programmed the city parameters,
the programmed time will be replaced by sunset time and sunrise time
respectively.
p Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal
7.2 Programming the sunset/sunrise parameters
Once you have completed section 7.1, proceed as follows:
n Press the CODE button until the desired parameter appears. The parameters
appear in the following order.
Parameter Default
Latitude (LAT) 00 -65 to 65 HOUR & MIN
Longitude (LONG) 000 -180 to 180 HOUR & MIN
Day number (DAY #) 000 1 to 365 HOUR & MIN

Programming the Schedule
u
NOTE: This section allows you to set your own schedule.
The switch can hold 2 programs which are repeated every day. When you place the
timer in Automatic mode, it will activate the load at the start of each program and
deactivate it at the end of the program. You need to set the following parameters:
P1 ON : Start time of program 1
P1 OFF : End time of program 1
P2 ON : Start time of program 2
P2 OFF : End time of program 2
n Press the PGM button until the desired parameter is displayed.

• Verify if light bulb is burned out
• Ensure the ON/OFF selector is at ON.
• Reset the switch using a paper clip.
• Load is less than 40 W
• Ambient temperature is below freezing point
First, press a control button so that MAN or AUTO
appears on display.
• Make sure the switch is properly programmed.
• Note that -:-- indicates an inactive program.
• If the switch has been configured for
12-hour format, check that PM appears on the left
side of the screen when an afternoon time is displayed.
Any temporary bypass is cancelled at midnight. Thus,
the light has turned back On, the state the light
should be at midnight according to the program. If
you often bypass programming before midnight, you
should program P1 OFF to midnight or earlier. This
ensures that the light will remain Off when you
bypass programming.
