研究了半天。费了牛劲了。
Neutral 零线 白色的, 几条nuetral 通过 wire nut 弄在一起,这是电源的回路。
line (fire)火线 电源通向开关的。
load 一般红色, 是开关通向电灯的。
ground, 地线, 一般是裸露的
买的timer必须接neutral, line, load, 不需要接ground. line 和load必须接对了,
接反了不行。 接neutral 费了半天劲。 电源铜芯巨硬,很不好弄。

Aube by Honeywell TI033/U 7-Day Programmable Timer Switch, White
http://www.amazon.com/Aube-Honeywell-TI033-Programmable-Switch/dp/B000F3ZR8C/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I was looking for a timer to control my outdoor lighting. I was first drawn
to this product because of the name Honeywell, which is well known quality
proven name in the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) business. So if
Honeywell could make such a great PLC, then their timers should be par
excellence. It turned out that some research after my purchase discovered
that Aube was a company all of its own which was acquired by Honeywell in
2008. So this product, given the time frame, may have no Honeywell
technology at all.
It turns out that it works great none the less!
NOTE: the key to making this Aube TI033 work in a standard size box with all
this wiring is NOT to use the supplied connectors, they may cause the
wiring to break and they take up extra space in the already cramped box.
Just peal away the ends of the wires to be connected, bind them together by
twisting with a pliers and shield the exposed wires with electrical tape -
which is flexible and takes up a whole lot less space than connectors!
Pros
-Backed by Honeywell, a well known, well established PLC brand
-The Manual Mode is controlled by the door itself which is also itself a
button; push to turn On, push to turn Off. (The On/Off switch shown in one
of the pictures behind the door that hides the buttons, turns On/Off the
entire device, although it gives the illusion that this is the manual mode
switch).
-The door button can be used to switch between manual and automatic mode by
just holding down the button for 3 seconds.
-The door button can be used to temporarily override the automatic mode (the
follow the programing mode) to turn On or Off the device and this temporary
override remains in effect until either the button is pushed again or the
next turn on cycle in the automatic program starts.
-To the other reviewers who said this device was too big to fit in a
standard size box, I say what standard are you following? I'm using this
Aube TI033 to control 3 compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). I took out the
triple switch (3 switches in one box), combined the 3 outputs to connect it
to the single output of the Aube TI033; then had to run a neutral for the
device (that's a lot of wiring in that box!). The box fit, tightly, with all
that wiring but it fits well.
In short, take one box device out of box, put another into box.
-Requires a neutral so that in case of shorts, the danger to you would be
diminished, the current would prefer the low resistance path back to your
panel box and trip your circuit breaker.
-Displays Time (as set by you) in 24hr or 12hr, Day of week, current program
running in auto mode and status of output device (On or Off).
-The Aube TI033 has up to 7 programs. Which means 7 times On and 7 times Off
. Each of these On and Off times can be set individually to Day (Mon - Sun)
or everyday and time of day.
-Has a built in rechargeable battery which can hold the programing data for
up to 30 days! More than enough for even a very severe power outage.
-Aube TI033 Can control:
2400Watts (20 Amps @ 120V) (P = IV) (Resistive Loads - incandescent lights,
halogen lights, block heater or Inductive Loads - fluorescent lights,
compact fluorescent lights, sodium lamps, electronic ballasts)
1 HP (pool filter pumps, water pumps, ceiling or other fans, any motor up to
1 HP)
5 A tungsten (I don't know much about this!)
Cons
-May not actually have Honeywell tech in it.
-Does not have a short timer function in which you can push a button to turn
on a device for a set period of time (eg. 5, 10, 15, 30 mins)
- Requires a neutral - depending on the wiring and the output device you are
connecting the Aube TI033 to, you may not have a neutral. For instance with
my wiring, my lighting was done with a simple circuit design so that the
switch only breaks the live wire and the neutral is connected directly to
the bulb, so in order to make this device work, I had to run an additional
neutral wire inside the switch box. It will NOT work without this neutral.
- the actual wire than the neutral wiring for the device is made with, is a
soft metal so that if the connectors supplied are used and turned a little
too tightly, it breaks, as happened with mine and I had to remove it and
connect it using a pliers and electrical tape.
NOTE: this device will NOT work without this neutral! When I was attempting
to use mine with the broken neutral wire, it wouldn't even turn On!
There is another theoretical solution, in a simple circuit design mentioned
above, where the neutral is connected to the bulb/device, the other end of
the wire at the switch is theoretically a neutral so you could bind the
neutral and output wires of the Aube TI033 and connect it to the live going
to the device. I didn't test this to see if it will work, that's why I said
theoretically... the reason why I didn't and why I don't reco

i recently installed malibu lightings in my yards. used a simple timer/
programmable control. lights turn on at dusk and off at dawn. or i can set
the # of hrs to stay on.
the device was from Lowe's Porfolio line. has a photocell sensor attached--
which controls the on/off. works well, and pretty reasonable on price. i
didn't do the installation myself but watched the contractor did it. pretty
straight forward. i don't have much electrician background. :)
