Wiring CN101A timer:


Timer has 4 terminals. 2 terminals for Clock (or Power) terminals, and 2 terminals for switch.
Connect rated voltage to Clock (or Power) terminals on back of timer.
When clock terminals have power, the switch terminals receive NO power.
Switch terminals are dry. This simple on-off switch can control any voltage, 120V, 240V, 277V, 24V
Connect one Hot wire to either switch terminal, and then connect wire going to Load to other switch
terminal. Do not exceed rated maximum 16 amps. Volts x Amps = Watts

Example 240Volt wiring:


Timer connects to water heater circuit with 10 gauge wire and 30 amp breaker.
The 30 amp rating exceeds timer amp rating.
Install in-line fuse between timer and 10 gauge wire.
Timer controls 30-40 amp contactor that switches power ON-OFF to water heater.
Contactor handles water heater amp load.
Note both Hot wires connect to timer Clock terminals.
Only one Hot wire connects to switch.
Wire going to Load (contactor) connects to other switch terminal. Specify contactor with 240V coil.
240 Volt circuit can be turned ON-OFF by controlling one Hot wire. It is not necessary to turn OFF both
hot wires.
Contactor is connected to both Hot wires, and timer switches one Hot wire ON-OFF.
