Hi all,
I bought a GE 60-Minute Timer Switch which I plan to replace one of my existing standard wall switches with. My current wall switch has only one BLACK wire and one WHITE wire.
This GE 60-Minute Timer Switch, however, has three wires (BLACK, BLUE, WHITE). I'm a bit confused by the given instructions:
- Remove wall plate and existing single pole switch.
- Connect wires per wiring diagram as follows: BLACK lead to circuit's Line conductor; BLUE lead to circuit's Load conductor; WHITE lead to circuit's Neutral conductor.
- Securely connect wires to device leads with twist-on connectors provided.
- Mount the timer securely with long mounting screws provided. Install wall plate.
- Restore power at fuse box or circuit breaker.
Since I only have two wires (BLACK & WHITE), how should I connect them to the GE Timer Switch which has three wires (BLACK, BLUE, WHITE)?
Here is a photo of the GE Timer Switch.
