24VAC Wiring Guidelines Primex Digital Clocks/Timers operate at a maximum current draw of 700mA (24VAC) and operate over a range of 20 - 26VAC. For installations where 24VAC wiring exists - the gauge/length of the wire and rating for the supply transformer should be verified to ensure adequate current supply and voltage for all connected devices.
Surface Mount Installation Complete the instructions below to install a Classic Series Digital Clock/Timer directly to the surface of a wall. Installation Mount the clock/timer directly to the wall with the two #10 screws and anchors (supplied). NOTE Most building codes prohibit the use of hard-wired power connections for devices that can be removed without tools. Clock/timers mounted directly to a wall must have standard power plugs.

Tilt-Bracket Installation Complete the instructions illustrated below to mount a Digital Clock/Timer using the supplied tilt mount bracket. Installation You may mount the tilt bracket directly to the wall with the four #10 screws and anchors (supplied). Hard-wired installation requires a 120V~ power line in a junction box installed by a licensed electrician. The tilt bracket has a center pass-through hole for the 120V~ pigtail.
