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 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).
•Load 2 always follows the sunset/sunrise program; i.e., it is activated at sunset and deactivated at sunrise. It is usually used for night lighting.
o Installation
n Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.
oConnect 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.

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
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 set the date (see section 6).

q 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 the MODE button to ensure the MAN or AUTO indicator is displayed.
b)Briefly press the MIN and HOUR buttons simultaneously (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.
p Press the MODE button to return to normal operation.
r Daylight Savings Time
This procedure sets the switch for daylight savings time or for standard time.
n Press the CODE button four times.
o Press the MIN button to switch between nor and Ad.
nor |
Standard time / Normal time / Winter time |
|
|
Ad |
Daylight savings time / Advanced time / Summer time |
|
|
p Press the MODE button to return to normal operation.
s Sunset/Sunrise Program
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.
6.1Determining 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

3) nor/Ad: If your country has daylight savings time, select the current time 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 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:
nPress the CODE button until the desired parameter appears. The parameters appear in the following order.

t Programming the Schedule
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:
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
nPress 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) |
|

OFF |
: --:-- (blank) |
|
P2 |
