DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The RT-24 is an astronomic time clock that controls the connected light or fan

either manually or through user programmed times.
Upon installation the user enters the correct longitude/latitude coordinates,

date, and local time. (See SETUP.) This ensures that once the schedules are

programmed, the load turns ON/OFF at the correct local times.

Lighted Switch

To help locate the switch button in a dark room, a green LED illuminates the ON/

OFF button while the controlled load is OFF. When the load is ON, the LED is OFF.

INSTALLATION & WIRING

WARNING

Disconnect power at the circuit breaker

before installing this product.

1. Prepare the switch box

After the power is turned OFF at

the circuit breaker box, remove

the existing wall plate and

mounting screws. Pull the old

switch from the wall box.

2. Identify the type of circuit

In a single pole circuit, two single

wires connect to two screws on

the existing switch. A ground

wire may also be present and

connected to a ground terminal

on the old switch. A neutral wire

should also be present in the

wall box.
