I am installing Intermatic's "Little Gray Box" at a junction where I previously had an off/on switch. The three wires from the fuse box connected up at the switch with the three wires to the heater. The bare wire in the center is a "neutral." I am assuming it can go to ground also. In the timer there is a pole marked A for the neutral wire but there is also a green screw that is supposed to be a ground connection. The question is, (now that I have the line and load wires connected) can I connect both of these neutral or ground wires to post A and also run a wire from there to the ground? I won't turn on the power till I know it is wired correctly. The schematic for this is rudimentary and I can't get any info from the company. Suggestions appreciated and thanked in advance. Derek
