Intermatic ET1125 240Volt, two independent circuit Wiring absolutely shows on following link: Wire colors can vary. 240Volt line can be black-white, or red-white, or black-black. Non-code wiring can be white-white.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-Intermatic-ET-series-timer.html#1125

I have no idea what color wires you have. Or if circuit tests for 240V.
Include a photograph of your wiring, and list showing voltage on each wire, and color of each wire, and description where each wire comes from.
You should have two Hot wires L1 L2 coming from 30 amp breaker.
And 2 wires going to each Load (light, fan, motor).
Wire size should be at least 10 gauge.

Turn power ON, stand on dry boards, tape tester leads to wood sticks, and test each wire to bare ground.
240Volt circuit will have two hot wires.

It should be on the door. It's marked 'line' & 'load'. Line is un-switched coming in and 'load' is your output to your motor or whatever you're running.

SOURCE: need a picture of an already wired T2005

You are placing a pretty tall order here. You want someone to go to a timer that is wired - take a picture of it, transfer it somehow to the computer then attach it here somehow and or draw a diagram ... and for what benefit???? There is a schematic on the door of the switch, at least the dozen or so that I maintain anyway.

There are three termnals in the switch, a common for a white, a hot black and a switched black.

The "line" is the hot black and a white. Your load (white can come to the line white if you want but it is not necessary) a black wire that goes to your light or motor or what ever you are turning on.

If this is a two pole switch (220 V AC) please indicate in your question/response.

If I have misunderstood your question, pleae ask again.

thank you

SOURCE: Trying to replace Intermatic with Utilitech inwall

The wires on your new switch are intended for black = power .. white = neutral . and red = lights .. with two black wires on the old switch I am assuming that there is a bundle of white wires in that wall box, the white timer needs to join that bundle ... then you need to determine which black wire is the power from the electrical panel ( voltage tester) and connect to the black timer wire .. the red timer wire connects to the other black wire in the wall..

Please Vote !!

SOURCE: For an intermatic EJ341 spring wound timer, there

Switch has 2 wire > one of these wires is Hot and it connects to Timer black wire > the other wire goes to Load and connects to Timer red wire.

If you get these two wires reversed, timer will not run, so switch them. You know timer is running when dial on front of timer rotates with passing time. You can test for Hot wire by taking out switch, separate wires, turn on power, test each wire to bare ground, tester lights up with Hot wire.

Timer white wire goes Neutral. This wire is necessary to run clock inside timer. Locate Neutral wire inside box >> it is usually two or more white wires twisted together and pushed to back of box. If you do not have a Neutral wire, connect Timer white wire to bare ground wire ... until you can hire electrician to run additional wire to box.

SOURCE: Triing to install intermatic t103 please help.

T103 has 120Volt clock motor, so we can wire this timer.

T103 timer is rated for 30 amps and 2horsepower and your blowers use 28 amps.
So we're getting close to max on the timer. Hopefully blowers won't all be started at one time since motors draw maximum amperage when they start.
However, you need 30 amp breaker and orange 10 gauge wire for that much amperage >> unless only one blower is turned ON at any given time.
Always match wire size, amperage of breaker and amperage of Load or it will trip the breaker.
If you put 30 amp breaker on size 10 wire it is good. But 30 amp breaker on smaller size 14 or 12 gauge wire is fire hazard.

Look at the basics:
You have 2 cables.
One cable comes from breaker box.
Other cable goes to three 120V plugs (120V is same as 110V).

Each cable has black-wire, white-wire and bare-copper-ground-wire.

How to wire the timer.
Timer has 5 terminals: A 1 2 3 4

A) Cable from breaker box:
White wire from breaker connects to terminal A
Black-wire from breaker connects to terminal 1

B) Cable going to 3 plugs
Black wire to plugs connects to terminal 2
White wire to plugs connects to terminal A
Ground wires connect to green ground screw.

Terminals 3 and 4 are not used in this case.
Here is a wiring diagram that shows 120Volt from breaker box and 120Volt going to Load

Help with 12v Frontier timer

This is Intermatic PB series timer module adapted for various applications, often low-voltage AC and DC loads. Copy following links for specific wiring diagrams:
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-install-under-counter-water-heater.html#fm
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-timers-and-manuals.html#PB1
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-TB118-TB178-timer.html#fm
Timer can be wired for numerous applications.
Power is connected to terminals 1 and 2, jumper wire is connected from terminal 1 to terminal 3.
Load wires connect to either terminal 4-5, and to terminal 2.
For loads greater than amp rating, use timer to control contactor. Add line fuse to protect timer from overampping.

I want to replace a Paragon 4004 20M with a Intermatic T104M. The Paragon has 4 screws along the bottom and one more on each side higher up for a total of six. The Intermatic has six, plus the ground. ...

1) These timers are interchangeable.

2) These timers can be complicated. Both handle multiple voltages and can be wired many ways depending on load requirement, wire from breaker box.

3) Description of Load(s), voltage(s) and wiring is not described in question. Add a comment with specific information for detailed help.

4) The 4004-20 timer has wiring terminals 1 2 3 4, plus terminals 5 and 6 that are connected with a brass bridge to terminals 1 and 4.
Since the terminals are connected with brass bridge, terminals 5 and 6 can be considered same as terminals 1 and 2.
If the brass bridge is removed, then the timer can be wired many ways to control multiple voltages, and then terminals 5 and 6 are independent.

5) Intermatic T104 timer has terminals A 1 2 3 4
Intermatic T104 terminal A is not used except as a bare post for Neutral wire, and if timer is wired to control 277V or 440Volts. Or if timer is adapted in other manner.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-T104-Intermatic-timer.html

6) When controlling ordinary 2-wire 240Volt load like a pool pump, here is crossover wiring.
Paragon terminal 1and5-bridged goes to Intermatic terminal 1
Paragon terminal 2 goes to Intermatic terminal 2
Paragon terminal 3 goes to Intermatic terminal 4
Paragon terminal 4and6-bridged goes to Intermatic terminal 3
Intermatic terminal A is not used in this case.

I am programming the intermatic ET70215C to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise. The two switches led lights come on time but not load is switching. I tried resetting the device and replacing the battery...

If indicator lights turn ON-OFF on schedule, then timer is programmed correctly.
Timer default voltage is 120Volt. Page 29 of manual shows how to change voltage.
Load rating is max 20amps.
This timer is not made for heavy amp loads, but instead is made to control a contactor for switching heavy loads. Add a comment for more information about contactors.

1) Are timer relays clicking on and off?
Test for voltage across terminals when indicator shows.
Check that load is operational.
Following link shows typical 120Volt wiring
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Intermatic-et70215cr-wiring-900.jpg

2) Terminals 3 thru 8 are dry and receive no power when wires from breaker box connect to terminals 1 and 2. Jumper from terminal 2 is needed to put power to timer circuits.

3) Only copper wire and no insulation can be under terminal screw plate. Two wires under same screw plate have to be same gauge and type, so mixing stranded wire and solid copper wire will cause loose connections.

4) This is 2-channel timer, so both relay circuits can be programmed independently: If programming is set for relay 2, but wires are connected to relay 1, then programming will not work.

5) Programming difficulty: Usually last step troubleshoot is replace battery and then reset timer after battery replacement.
Press and hold clear key and then press reset momentarily
Keep holding clear button until 'reset' displays.

Typical manual is 39 pages long. Add a comment about specific part of manual that is not clear, for possible help.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Intermatic-et70215cr.pdf

6) Contact Intermatic if timer is defective:
Replacement parts and circuit boards are available for some timers.

You might have your Line and Load wires reversed.
Line wires come from circuit breaker.
Load wires go to water heater.
http://waterheatertimer.org/B220C.html

WH21 wiring: There are 2 Hot Line wires coming from breaker box that connect to terminals 1 and 2.
WH21 is SPST and turns off one Hot wire going to Load. So Load wires connect to terminals 2 and 3. Terminal 2 has 2 wires: 1 Line wire and 1 Load wire.

Intermatic 70815CR

You want to control 3 separate circuits.
So you need a timer with minimum of 3 independent relays.
Each circuit has a different program.
So you need a 3-channel timer. Each channel is programmed separately to operate a different relay.
You want timer to operate in 15 second intervals. Most electronic timers have minimum 1 minute on-off, so you need electronic timer with pulse capability.
