I wish to connect a 6230m to a fan circuit with the neutral at the fan motor, is it possible?
How do I connect a 6230m on a switch leg for a ventilating fan.
How do I install a timer delay switch on an end of run?
I want to install a LTB02-1LZ countdown timer, but there are only two wires - one black and one white, no red. It is an end of run switch, so the white wire is actually the hot wire and the black runs back to the lights. How do I do it?
LT113 question
I've bought an LT113-10W timer but I think there's something missing from the instructions?
They state that by pressing the "override" button (or the button on the remote) for several seconds I can activate a "permanent override". The question is, how do I *cancel* such an override and return to timed operation?
VPT24-1P Battery Back-up
We've a VPT24-1P controlling our outdoor lights for the past couple of years. Lately, I've noticed that the battery backup doesn't maintain clock settings during a power failure--even a brief one. Is there a way to replace the rechargeable battery?
Help installing VPT24-1P Timer switch
THis is what I am seeing inside my box in the wall -
- A copper ground wire
- A black wire
- A red wire
on this new unit I see the following
- green wire - I am pretty certain this connects to the copper wire in the wall
- a black wire - which I assume connect to the black wire in the wall
A red wire - (which I would have assumed went to the red wire in the wall but I saw a youtube video where the guy said to not use this wire in a single pole install
- I have a yellow and red wire - which I am also fairly certain I do nothing with
White mystery wire
My question is - do I connect the Red to the Red - and then just cover the White wire and have it do nothing
Or do I connect the white wire to the red wire and then put a cover on the red wire like the youtube guy did.
Thanks.

LTB30-1LZ - 3-way Wiring with Vizia + Matching Remote switch (w/LED) ISSUES
Hi,
I just install a LTB30-1LZ with the 3-way wiring with Vizia + Matching Remote switch (Step 4c in the instruction sheet) but I have a issue.
The Timer work and my lightswitch also work. I only have one wire with a load, I can't use the single pole application.
But when I close de ligth, the timer star running one time out of 2. When this happen, I have to manually stop the timer because he doesn't stop after a specific period of time.
I want my timer and my lighting switch to work independenly. Do I have use the rigth wiring application?
Leviton Vizia+ VPT24 timer causing CFL bulbs to stop working
Hi,
I have three outdoor lights on one circuit with two switches. One switch controls one light and the second switch controls the two other lights. I replaced both switches with Leviton VPT24 timers. Both timers work fine. The single light works fine. The two lights work for a short while and then stop lighting up. I changed the bulbs thinking they were burnt out. The new bulbs worked for about an hour and then also stopped working. All three are CFL bulbs. The two switches are not using a 3-way installation.
Can anyone tell me why the two bulbs stop working after a period of time? It's driving me crazy! I'd really like to use these timers but they're useless if they make the bulbs stop working.
Thanks!
VPT24-1PZ, Pro Mode, Sunup/Sundown offset time.
Hi,
I installed this timer, and it's working.
I have the porch lights come on at 6 am, and off at sunrise, then on at sunset and off at 11 pm. I like it.
My question is on what the offset setting is for? Is it used to fine-tune your latitude/longitude? (I think so) or to turn the load off after sunrise, and before sunset? (I hope so).
What I would like to do, is have the lights stay on for an hour after sunrise, because sometimes on a rainy or cloudy day it's still quite dark when the timer says it's sunup. Likewise, I would like to turn the lights on an hour before sunset.
The offset setting only seems to allow for a single postive or negative offset time, and I think I'd need two settings to add to one, and subtract from the other.
The programming instructions state:
"0:00" will be flashing to represent the offset time. Choose the amount of time, if any, to turn the load ON/OFF before or after Sunup and Sundownby pressing▲to add time to the Sunup/
Sundowntime and use▼to subtract time from the Sunup/Sundown time. Press "SET"to confirm your choice (up to 3 hours and 59 minutes).
So, if I added 60 minutes, would that merely shift the sunup and sundown times ahead 60 minutes meaning the light would come on a 6am, and go off 1 hour after sunrise, but then come on an hour after sunset?
Or is this exactly the setting I want, meaning it adds or subtracts time before or after sunrise/sunset? Have I got it backwards? I should subtract an hour?
What timer to use with CFL's?
I have a circuit with ~100 Watts of CFL's. Can the 6560M-X be used on this circuit. Or must I use the different switch.

Low temperature operation of Leviton VPT24-1PZ
Hi,
I recently purchased a Leviton VPT24-1PZ timer switch to operate some outdoor lights. The concern I have is that in our home, the switch that controls the outdoor lights is located inside the garage area and not in the home itself. The garage is attached to the house and is insulated, but is not heated. The switch is therefore fully protected from the elements (rain, snow, etc) but will potentially be exposed to temperatures down to -25C or so. Will the switch operate in sub-freezing temperatures? I am less interested whether the LCD display will continue to operate properly, and more interested in whether the timer will continue to turn lights on and off.
