Pre-Installation
PLANNING FOR SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION
When choosing a location for the placement of the timer and remote, avoid any sources of possible RF interference
such as fluorescent lighting. Proximity to these and other sources of RF interference can inhibit the proper
functioning of the timer.
The wireless signals between the timer and the remote pass easily through your home's interior walls, but the signal
may be reflected by power wires or plumbing inside those walls. A slight adjustment to the position of the timer and/
or remote will improve sensitivity.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation of the automatic function,
ensure the photocell sensor is shielded from all night time
sources of light, such as floodlights. Also insure the photocell
sensor has direct access to sunlight
