Check rating label on light and see if it shows 120V in addition to 277V If rating plate shows 120V, then it should work.
Residential 240Volt has 2 hot legs, each Hot leg measures 120V to ground So you can use one Hot leg from the 240Volt breaker, and use ground wire to make 120Volt circuit. Using ground wire to complete circuit in this manner is completely out of code and not recommended by any professional electrician. But it will work.
Copy following link for possible wiring diagrams showing photo eye and contactor: http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-Cooper-277-pilot-light-switch.html#photo-eye
Wired as shown in illustration, the pilot light and the Load will come on each time switch is turned on. The illustration show Load is light bulb. In your case, the Load will be an outlet instead of light bulb. So the Load will have 2 wires. The black wire from switch connects to brass screw on outlet. The neutral connects to silver screw. Bare ground wires connect to green screws.
P&S 692 is pilot light switch. Pilot light requires neutral wire. Neutral wires are white wires twisted together and covered with wire nut located in back of electric box. P&S 692 wires same as Cooper 277 http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Cooper-277-pilot-400.jpg
