NOTE: If loads are connected to both NC and NO contacts, both contacts are 
derated to 67% of the above values.

Ambient Temperature: –40F to 130F
Humidity: 0-95% RH, Non-condensing

Screw clamp terminals for up to 2 AWG #8 wires per position. For supply 
connections, use 8AWG or larger wires suitable for at least 105° C. Use copper 
conductors only.

Power LED (Orange)

 – Light illuminates when power is applied to 

the timer

Status LED (Green) 

– Light illuminates when power is applied to load.

CAUTION:  Before wiring or service, power to this time switch and  the 
equipment it controls must be turned off. Turning off the timer switch only 
will not prevent a shock hazard. Replace cover plate within housing before 
supplying power to time switch. Installation should be performed by a licensed 
electrician only. Before installing this product read all instructions carefully.
Remove protective cover panel within time switch housing by removing 
screws located above timer face and at the bottom of the cover panel.

WARNING: 

Failure to properly configure the dipswitch will result in 

damage to the unit and void the warranty! Before installing and wiring the GE 
Time Switch, proper configuration must be selected. This is accomplished as 
follows:

INPUT VOLTAGE DIP SWITCh SETTING: 

1. 

Do not apply power to the timer prior to setting correct Input Voltage DIP 
switch.

2. 

Determine the input voltage which will be applied to the timer (i.e. L1 and 
L2/N terminals, see wiring diagrams)

3. 

Set the DIP switch according to the diagram below.

NOTE: Unit is shipped with DIP switches set for 277VAC Input Voltage

CAUTION: Do not check circuits by “sparking” wires to terminals. Damage to 
the timer may result.

15250

Indoor/Outdoor

NEMA 3R-Rated 

Enclosure

NOTE: For outdoor locations (model GE 15252),, rain tight or wet location 
conduit hubs that comply with requirements of UL 514B (standard for fittings 
for conduit and outlet boxes) must be used.
1. 

Remove 2 screws retaining the interior cover panel and remove panel 
by prying out with a thin blade at the top.. Select knockouts to be used. 
Remove the inner 1/2” knockout by inserting a screwdriver in the slot 
and carefully punch 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 knife if necessary.

2. 

Place enclosure in desired mounting location and mark the three 
mounting holes.

3. 

Drill holes for #10 screws, start screws in holes.

4. 

Place enclosure over screws and tighten screws.

5. 

Connect conduit hubs to conduit before connecting the hubs to the 
enclosure. After inserting hubs into enclosure, carefully tighten hub lock 
nut. Do not over-tighten.

6. 

Install in accordance with all applicable National and Local code 
requirements. See Figure 1 and wiring diagrams.

7. 

Replace interior cover panel and 2 screws. 

GROUNDING: This enclosure is of plastic construction and does not 
require a ground connection and does not require bonding in pool 
applications. 

This enclosure does not provide grounding between conduits. When using 
non-metallic conduit or cable, connect the ground wires of all cables together 
with a wire nut. When metallic conduit is used, use grounding type bushings 
and a jumper wire between each conduit.

120VAC

277VAC (Default)

208~240VAC

NOTE: Unit is shipped with DIP Switches set for 277VAC Input Voltage. 

CAUTION: Do not check circuits by “sparking” wires to terminals. Damage to

the timer may result.

INPUT VOLTAGE DIP SWITCH SETTING:
1. Do not apply power to the timer prior to setting correct Input Voltage DIP switch.
2. Determine the input voltage which will be applied to the timer (i.e. L1 and L2/N terminals,

see wiring diagrams).

3. Set the DIP Switch according to the diagram below.
