Can anyone tell me if this swith will work in households which have only 2 wire connections (Hot|Load)/? I do not have a neutral wire in my house. Thank you.

Mine died after 3 months. The documentation says to call about a replacement. When you call and after they take all the information , they tell you that the warranty requires that you send it back and provide all the information that you just gave to the guy on the phone for a replacement . Just too much trouble. I wouldn't buy one no matter how they were hooked up

I'm not sure if this was answered yet and I apologize for the delay but the answer is yes. The configuration you describe is a single pole Installation with just 2 wires. I wish I knew how to upload a picture because I found the packaging that clearly shows this configuration. There are even two different ways to hook it when you only have 2 wires as well. Hope this helps. Edit: I posted a picture on the product images that shows the 2 different configurations.

Can not answer that question. Honeywell has great technical support I's suggest calling them. 1-800-466-1502

For the device to work, you must have the ground wire connected to a ground source or third wire that goes to the ground.

Hi Freddie , No if your home is very old , and using knob and tube wiring , I think it works best on homes with NM cabling where the hot, netural, and ground wires are in one cable. Trade people refer to it as Romex but its just called non metallic or NM or NMB which means it can be use in areas with higher ambient temperatures. Hope I Helped Ray

Yes, this unit will only work when it's grounded. Always follow the manufactures instructions when wiring.

Hey Frank why do you feel you need to run a 220 line and breaker? The unit is set up for 110 plug and works jsut fine on that. I have a 2 ton unit and it is great on the 110.

Unfortunately, your idea doesn't work as described on a 2-wire 220 circuit. That is, unless you use the bare ground as a neutral, and that isn't really too Kosher, although logically I don't know why. It would be nice to see what my submersible well pump, window mount A/C unit and air compressor are using.

You have electrical issues with your house. Call an electrician. Most likely your neutral wire is not connected properly and current is flowing through the ground instead creating a dangerous situation. Call an electrician! I'm an electrical engineer.

No, this device only works on 120 volts. If your household current is 220 volts, as it is in many parts of Europe, this device will not work and it would be dangerous to attempt to plug it in even if the plugs match up with the receptacles (which they most likely would not).

You'd have to contact Intermatic for a definite answer. It has a neutral wire but I don't know for sure if it would work properly without it connected. I think it should but that's only a guess.

I know you are going to find it hard to believe , but you can put the wires anywhere and it will work. This unit can not be wired wrong. I think I wired mine for 220 and used black and white for hot and green/yellow for common. Good luck. I have the book that came with the unit (such as it is). Send me your contact info and I will see if I can make a copy and get to you. my e-mail is phildi47@yahoo.com

Hello. I used mine for a 12V system. I am looking at one of mine that I haven't used yet right now.. there is no rating on it at all! Strange! The terminals on the end are not very big, like for a smaller gauge of wire that would be safe for a relay application but not large enough for 110 house wire. It's actually made pretty nice. So..I'm sorry that I am not much more help. Good luck

its a switching device. i believe it will work for any two wire heat only set up provided that it falls within your amperage specifications. i replaced my atwwood thermostat with this device and it works well. It comes with a back plate to cover any size opening.

the switch interrupts the hot line to the load. To run both hot & neutral load wires to the switch is just perfect. Any place u connect the white wire from the load to neutral is going to work. it is not going to interfere with the night light unless u don't connect the neutral to the switch also.

You're probably thrown off because it had two sets of terminals. That's so you can run these in series. You can attach neutral to either one of the terminals of one pair and vice versa for hot, and it doesn't matter which one. So if you only have one wire, you have one empty terminal on each side.

I installed the timer switch I bought for my daughter in her home. I know it does not require a neutral wire. I really believe the documentation that came with it showed it could be used in a 3-way arrangement but I left that with her so I can't refer to it as to how that would be done. In her situation it just replaced a single-pole switch.

Only 2 wires are conected inside One wire is sniped short that wire you won't use the other 2 you can hook up anyway you want as it is ac I hope this helped good luck

it's supposed to some how send signals through the electric wiring in your house. that is connected to the same fuse. I personally have not seen significant results. I would look for an alternate solution.

It does work fine with 120V. As far as I know, the 2-wire installation is actually for 120V and the 4-wire for 240, but I'm not an electrician (though US 240 is typically 3 or 4 wire).
