Trim house bare wire to 7/16"; twist wire nut
on both wires until it "locks" securely.
3A. MODEL EJ353 (See FIg. 3) 3 way timer package contains the timer for either wall
location and a short "jumper" wire for the other location. Identify and remove wire
(usually black) attached to "common" terminal of old switch. This terminal normally
has a different color screw or may be identified by markings on switch body.
Connect to black lead of timer using wire nut. Remove the other two wires and
connect one to the red and the other to the blue timer wire.
4. MOUNT TIMER into wall box, being careful not to cut wires on box edges, using flat
head screws supplied.
5. ALIGN WALL SWITCH PLATE with timer bracket by placing upper screw hole of plate over
red indicator light.
6. INSTALL CONTROL PANEL by inserting clear plastic lens in upper screw hole of plate. (Not
applicable for decorator style switch plates). Install fillister dome head screw in bottom hole. Make
sure the post next to the knob shaft is properly mated with the hole switch lever hole in the control
panel. Tighten screw snug, but DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
7. INSTALL PUSHBUTTON TIME DIAL with flat side of control shaft aligned with flat in time dial and
press ON. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE FOR MODEL EJ351.
8. Push plastic cover over bottom screw.
9. INSTALL JUMPER WIRE at second 3 way location for MODEL EJ353 (See Figure 4
and 5).

FIG. 4 Model EJ353 Installing jumper wire at switch.
NOTE: In a 3-way switch application, if the length of wire between two switches is
over 30 feet, we recommend using timer model SS8.
BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF.
Screw Terminal Switches: Remove plate and screws from second 3-way switch, pull switch from wall
box. Identify "common" terminal and loosen screw just enough to install one end of the jumper under
the screw head. Retighten screw. Loosen screw at either of the two other terminals and install other
end of jumper wire. Retighten screw.
Reinstall switch and turn power back on. Turn timer on by moving control lever to on position. Try
operating light using second (remote 3-way) switch. If the timer fails to work correctly,rewire the
jumper to go from the "common" terminal to the other terminal. Reinstall switch and turn power back
on. Both the remote switch and the timer should now be able to control the light. Snap small plastic
cover over the bottom screw. Replace dimmer illuminated or back wire pressure terminal switches
with a single pole non-dimmer switch. Identify the wire previously connected to the 3-way common;
attach it together with one of the other wires, under either screw terminal of the new switch.
Remaining wire should be attached under the other screw terminal. Turn power back on. Move
control lever to ON (or BRIGHT). Operate remote 3-way switch, light should turn on and off from this
switch. If not, TURN POWER OFF and move jumper wire and reconnect under the other terminal,
together with the single wire already in place. Turn power back on and repeat test procedures.

PROGRAMMING YOUR ELECTRONIC IN-WALL TIMER
RAPID PROGRAMMING. Enables you to make desired time settings in just minutes. Achieved as
BLACK follows:
1. Move control lever to OFF-CLEAR for at least 5 seconds; red indicator light will go
off, and all previous time settings will be cleared from memory. (If timer fails to set, leave in off
position for 15 minutes.)
INDICATOR
2. Move lever to ON. RED INDICATOR will start FLASHING.
LIGHT
3. Check a clock; then rotate time dial clockwise at least one click, stopping at the half
hour nearest to present time. NOTE: When rotating time dial, do NOT accidentally PRESS at
the same time. (While rotating dial, keep pressure, pulling out on the dial to avoid accidentally
setting an incorrect time.)
4. Press pushbutton once to enter present time. RED INDICATOR will go OFF, present
time has now been recorded.
5. Rotate time dial clockwise to desired ON time; RED light will PULSE momentarily
with each click.
6. Press pushbutton to enter ON time; controlled light(s) will turn on.
7. Rotate dial to desired OFF time.
8. Press pushbutton to enter OFF time; controlled light(s) will now be off.
9. Repeat Steps 5-8 for each addition ON/OFF period.
10. Continue to rotate time dial for at least 24 hours from the first ON time to complete
this program, at which time the RED INDICATOR light will come ON and stay ON,
indicating timer is in AUTOMATIC mode. NOTE: Dial does not rotate automatically
after setting to indicate time of day.
24-HOUR SELF PROGRAMMING. Accomplished by use of the Timer as a standard light switch over
a 24-hour period.
1. Move control lever to OFF-CLEAR position for at least 5 seconds; RED INDICATOR
light will go OFF, and previous time settings will be cleared from memory.
2. Move lever to ON. RED INDICATOR light will start FLASHING.
3. Turn light(s) on and off as you normally would during this 24 hour period. When you
turn lights ON the first time, RED INDICATOR light will go OFF and remain OFF.
However, if you should turn light(s) off in less than 30 minutes from the ON time,
RED INDICATOR will resume FLASHING. Reason: Each on/off period must be at
least 30 minutes.
At the end of the first 24 hour period, your Timer will be fully programmed, red indicator will stay ON
and timer will automatically repeat the lighting pattern you entered during the 24 hours.
PROGRAM REVIEW enables you to determine the ON/OFF settings in your Timer memory. Proceed
as follows:
1. Timer must be in AUTOMATIC mode (RED INDICATOR light ON).
2. Rotate time dial clockwise at least one click, stopping at nearest half hour to present
