n Applications
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.
o Installation
n Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.
oRemove 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.

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.

• 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.
q Selecting the Operating Mode
The programmable switch has 2 operating modes: manual (MAN) and automatic (AUTO). To switch mode, press the switch for 3 seconds.
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.
r Setting the Clock
NOTE: The switch displays the time in 24-hour format by default or following a reset.
nTo 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 displayed.
b)Press the MIN and HOUR buttons simultaneously and brieftly (0:00 display = 24-hour; 12:00 display = 12-hour ).
oSet 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.
pPress one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.
s Daylight Savings Time
This procedure configures the switch in daylight savings time or in normal/standard time.
nPress the CODE button four times.
oPress the MIN button to switch between nor and Ad.

t Sunset/Sunrise Program
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.
7.1Determining 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

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.
7.2Programming the sunset/sunrise parameters
Once you have completed section 7.1, proceed as follows:
nPress the CODE button until the desired parameter appears. The parameters appear in the following order.

u Programming the Schedule
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.
TI034-3W
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) |
|
oPress 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.
pPress 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.
oPress 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.
pPress one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.
