three-way wiring scenarios, go to www.
intermatic.com.
Disconnect the power at the service
panel.

c. Reconnect the power at the service panel.
d. Retest.
4. If timer clicks, but the load only operates when the remote
switch is in one of its two positions, repeat Step 3, a-d, but
interchange the two traveler wires (wires Between the timer
and the remote three-way switch) connected to red and
blue timer wires
