Installation Instructions

If you are unsure about the installation of this timer please contact a licensed electrician.

1. Turn power off at circuit breaker or fuse box before installation.

2. Remove current wallplate and switch from wall box.

3. Wires should be stripped to 5/8". (16mm).

4. Remove timer from package. Look at the back of the timer and you will see LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL and GROUND.

5. Loosen the LINE and LOAD screws with either a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver. When loosening terminal screws, stop when you feel resistance.

6. Insert the line side wire from the wire box into hole marked LINE and tighten the LINE screw.

7. Insert the load side wire from the wire box into hole marked LOAD and tighten the LOAD screw.

8. Attach ground wire from box to the ground lug on the timer.

There may be several neutral wires bound together. Add the neutral wire to all neutral wires bound together and retighten the wire nut, making sure that the wire nut is tight.

11. Tug each wire to verify connection, retighten if needed.

NOTE: Be sure that all wires and wire nuts are secure.

MyTouchSmart 26893 Questions and Answers

Find answers or Ask a question.
  • Total questions: 4
  • Questions unAnswered : 3
#1 Does this unit support Daylight Savings Time?
No, it does not support DST, but it is the easiest device in our home to adjust the time of day forward or backwards.
#2 Can it be used as a countdown?
No, this in-wall Timer does not have a countdown capability. If you are looking for an in-wall countdown timer we recommend myTouchSmart 33861 as it features custom on/off times like myTouchSmart 26893 but it also features a countdown option as well as other presets.
#3 Will this work with flourescent tubes ?
This is an on and off timer. It works well turning my porch light on and off, which is an LED light.
#4 Does anyone know how to make this work with no neutral wire?
Unable to work w/out neutral wire. Neutral is different from ground.
#5 I have a 3 in 1 unit which is for ventilation, heat and light in bathroom. Can I use this to set a time for just the heat to turn on?
If the heat is on its own switch, then you can use this timer. If all 3 functions are tied into the same switch you may want to look into a multi switch box to meet your needs.
#6 Can I just turn the lights on with this switch
Yes. It has manual button that let you simply turn it on or off.
#7 What size wall box does this timer require? This is for a new installation.
This timer is made to replace a standard in-wall switch.
#8 Does it works at 220 volt?
No, this timer is meant for devices that do not exceed 120VAC.
#9 I need a timer that can turn a fan on for 10 min every hour. Can this do that?
No, this timer can be programmed to turn On and turn Off 2 different times in 24 hours (without needing to be reprogrammed).
#10 Red, black, white and gound wire is my setup. is there any reason i can't use the red for the second black wire in this item?
I suspect that the red wire is for setting up a three way switch. My inclination is to leave the red wire alone and just use a wire nut to join two external wires to the switch’s black wire.
#11 Can I use this timer outside ? Is it water resistant (rain) ?
Is not water resistant if it is going to be used to control outdoor lighting, it must be installed in a weatherproof box with a weatherproof cover & installed by a qualified electrician.
#12 I have black, white and ground wire coming out of my box that controls multiple lights on my porch. Will this timer work here?
Should. Works on my outdoor lights. Just make sure you get the hot coming in and the load going out in the proper place. Instructions are not real clear
#13 Does this unit support Daylight Savings Time?
Daylight SAVING time.
#14 If i turn on the light manually before the programmed on time, timer resume it’s program, or do I have to manually turn it off?
If you turn on the lights at any time it will automatically shut off at the next programmed off time
#15 Switch is not turning the light on/off. The light is on and the switch has power, but it doesnt seem to be controlling it (I only have 1 black wire)
If you had a regular switch before and the worked, sounds like you have just two wires. There using the white wire as your load wire. It's been awhile since I put mine in, but I think that timer requires a neutral wire too!
#16 How do I program my myTouchSmart timer?
