The TI044 is a heavy-duty indoor/outdoor timer designed to control the
following loads:
The TI044 is equipped with two normally-open (NO) dry contacts
identified as Load 1 and Load 2 for connecting two independently
operated loads:
•Load 1 follows the schedule that you have programmed into the
•Load 2 always follows the sunset/sunrise program; i.e., it is

timer when placed in automatic mode. The load can also be
activated or deactivated manually similar to the operation of a
regular switch.
A single-pole switch can be connected to the timer to control Load 1
as in a 3-way installation. For example, the timer can be installed
outside whereas the switch can be located remotely (e.g., inside the
house).

Installation
n Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.
o Connect the power supply between power line and power neutral
terminals.
p Connect the load and its power supply in series between Load 1 in
and Load 1 out or between Load 2 in and Load 2 out depending
on the application.
NOTE: For a 3-way installation, connect a standard single-pole switch to
the 3-way terminals of the timer as shown on the wiring diagram.
q Apply power at the circuit breaker.

3.1Load 1
Load 1 can operate in Manual or Automatic mode. To switch between
the two modes, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds.
Manual Mode
2.
In Manual mode, the TI044 operates like a regular switch to control
Load 1. Briefly press the MODE button to activate or deactivate the
load. (If you have connected a remote switch to the timer for a 3-way
installation, the switch can also be used to activate or deactivate
Load 1.) The mode indicator (MAN) and the state (ON or OFF) are
displayed.
Automatic Mode
In Automatic mode, the TI044 controls Load 1 according to the
programmed schedule (see section 6). The mode indicator (AUTO),
the state (ON or OFF) and the current program number are
displayed.
To temporarily override the programmed schedule, press the MODE
button or use the remote switch (if connected). The new state
indicator will flash to show that this state is temporary. The override
remains in effect until you press the MODE button (or use the remote
switch) or until the beginning of the next program.
3.2Load 2
Load 2 follows the sunset/sunrise program (regardless of the
operating mode of the timer). For example, if Load 2 is a light, the
light will turn On at sunset and turns Off at sunrise.
NOTE: To use Load 2, you first need to enter the city coordinates and

Setting the Clock
n To switch between 12-hour format and 24-hour format, proceed
as follows:
a) Press the MODE button to ensure the MAN or AUTO indica-
tor is displayed.
b) Briefly press the MIN and HOUR buttons simultaneously
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.

NOTE 1: Load 2 always follows the sunset/sunrise program.
Therefore, to use Load 2, you need to enter the city coordinates
(longitude and latitude) and set the date.
NOTE 2: By default, once you have programmed the sunset/sunrise
parameters, Load 1 will follow the sunset/sunrise program when you
place the timer in Automatic mode. To set your own schedule, see
section 7.
Sunset/Sunrise Program
6.1Determining the sunset/sunrise parameters
Fill out the following table:
LatitudeLongitudeDay #nor/AdLc
4.
3) nor/Ad: If your country has daylight savings time, select the current time period.
norStandard time / Normal time / Winter time
AdDaylight 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 sunset and sunrise. Therefore,
apply a correction factor (+1 or -1). Otherwise, leave it at 0.
6.2Programming the sunset/sunrise parameters
Once you have completed section 6.1, proceed as follows:
n Press the CODE button until the desired parameter appears.
The parameters appear in the following order.

p Press the MODE button to return to normal operation.
t
NOTE: Applies to Load 1 only. The programmed schedule does not
affect Load 2 which follows the sunset/sunrise program only.
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:
Programming the Schedule
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

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

n Press the PGM button until the desired parameter is displayed.
If you have entered your city’s parameters (see section 6), the
parameters P1 ON and P2 OFF show the sunset time and
sunrise time for this time of the year. If Load 1 is used for
lighting, when the timer will be 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 the MODE button 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 the MODE button to return to normal operation.
