A » To wire a timer-controlled outlet, first ensure the power is off at the circuit breaker. Connect the timer's black wire to the black (live) wall wire, and its red wire to the outlet's black wire. Attach the white (neutral) wires together and the ground wires. Secure all connections with wire nuts, mount the timer, and restore power. Always follow local codes and consult a professional if unsure.

A »To wire a timer-controlled outlet, connect the black (hot) wire to the timer's line terminal, then to the outlet's hot terminal. Connect the white (neutral) wire to the timer's neutral terminal and the outlet's neutral terminal. Finally, connect the copper (ground) wire to the grounding terminal on both the timer and outlet.
