APPLICATION

The GE Time Switches (56922, 15087, 15207) are universal, electromechanical 
time switches which can be field configured for various power supply 
voltages. The voltage options include 120VAC, 208/240VAC and 277VAC – all 
within the same unit! Selection of the desired supply voltage is easily achieved 
by positioning dipswitches on the printed circuit board assembly (consult 
Dipswitches Configuration on back). The mechanism is mounted in a NEMA 
indoor or outdoor enclosure and is intended for the control of lighting, heating, 
air conditioning, pumps, motors, or general electrical circuits in residential, 
commercial, industrial and agricultural facilities. 
     
SPECIFICATIONS

Input Voltage: 120 VAC, 208/240 VAC, or 277 VAC in all units based 
upon dipswitch configuration.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Before wiring or servicing, power to this time switch and the 
equipment it controls must be turned off. Turning off the time switch only 
will not prevent a shock hazard. Replace cover plate within housing before 
supplying power to time switch. If you are not comfortable installing this 
device please contact a licensed electrician. Before installing this product read 
all instructions carefully.

Removing Knockout

1.  Select knockouts to be used. Remove the inner 1/2” knockout by inserting 

a flathead screwdriver on the inner most ring and carefully punching the 
knockout loose. Remove slug. If the 3/4” knockout is required, remove the 
outer ring with pliers after removing the 1/2” knockout. Smooth edges with 
a knife if necessary. 

Please refer to Quick Start Guide for Examples and More Details.

Mounting of the Time Switch Box

NOTE - Before mounting be sure to remove knockouts for the wires, (see Quick 
Start Guide)

1.  In order to mount the box you will need the 3 supplied anchors and 3 

supplied screws from the hardware list above. (Anchors included are 
designed for mounting on sheetrock.)

2.  Using the box as a template, mark with a pencil where the three pilot holes 

will be drilled.
