SOURCE: need to know wiring diagram for cooper single pole lighted switch

well lets see on one side you should have two brass screws that would be to interupt your lead to the fixture then you either have a brass and silver screws on the other side or you have black and white wires the black or brass is always hot the silver or white is neutral does that answer your question if not hit me back with a description of what your switch looks like

SOURCE: I have a single pole

Unless I misunderstand you, you just need to get a single switch, and a duplex outlet with a matching plate. Your hardest part will be to decide the color of the devices and plate (rectangular, double-D holes, etc. I'd suggest, that for "preserving domestic tranquility" you hire you mate (if any) as consultant on these matters.
(Wire it as it is now; that is if the switch controls the outlet the wiring should still be easy to follow.
DO turn off the power first!)

SOURCE: replacing a single pole switch

The old single pole switch has 2 black wires.
One black wire is hot from circuit breaker box, and the other black wire goes to load (light, fan, motor)

New device has black wire: connect this to hot from circuit breaker box.
New device red wire: connect this to load wire
New device has white wire: connect this to Neutral wires.
Neutral wires are white wires that are twisted together and covered with wire nut and pushed to back of box. If your box does not have neutral wires, then connect device white wire to bare ground wire.

SOURCE: Single Pole Illuminated switch doesn't

there should be two wires coming from switch both black you should hook up the hot wire to one the other to the light it self. if there hooked up right then the switch would be bad if you have a volt tester this will tell if you have a hot wire or not , good luck

Is this considered a single throw switch or a tripple throw switch and what's the difference

We cannot see the product you are asking about
Example single throw switch is household light switch ..., flip the switch either direction and load turns on-off.
Example double pole switch is 240 volt double breaker... flip the breaker and two wires turn on-off.
Example triple pole switch is any 3 phase contactor or 3 phase timer ... flip the switch and three wires turn on-off

Having trouble adjusting settings

What kind of problem?

I have the delay adjustment set on "test". It comes on right away but turns off too soon. If the delay it turned to anything but "test", it will not come on immediately. Is this switch defective? I have another for another location but don't want to open the package until I know the answer to this question.

Separate 1 switch 3 lights

You need separate wire going to each light.
Here are diagrams:
2 single pole switches, before you started to replace
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/2-single-pole-switches.jpg
Single pole and 3 pole to control each light separately: must identify black wire to each light. If each light does not have separate black wire inside the switch box, then it is not possible.

Replacing a triple single pole (1980's) with a

DISCLAIMER:Attempting to work on house electrical systems without proper training is DANGEROUS and you stand the risk of dying.


The Cooper 7729w is a three pole single throw switch with a common (connected) hot wire that supplies it. What you had before was two separate single pole single throw switches and one single pole double throw switch that is used as a three way. The short answer is NO that replacement will not work UNLESS you don't want the other switch on the other side of the room to work.


Personally, I think that if you really need to ask this question you need to seek the advice of a professional electrician.

Intermatic e1010

Is this new timer installation, or older timer that stopped functioning?

1) Copy following link to help identify timer, download manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-timers-and-manuals.html#E1020

2) If this is new installation, then check wiring for single pole installation. This timer will not work for 3-way switching.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-timers.html

3) If timer worked before, and now clock motor has stopped working:
Turn power off, use compressed air to blow out timer, then see if you can spray highly flammable vapor from WD40 can into the motor.gears.

4) There are replacement trippers for this timer, but no replacement clock motors.
Buy another single-pole in-wall timer.

How do i program a atp1277w light switch

The atp1277 is not a programmable device.
Once the device is installed and wired correctly, then it will automatically sense body heat (infrared heat) when somebody enters smallish room. This is not for large room.
When heat is detected, the light turns ON.
This means the device has to be pointed at the entry door.

The device has an override switch which appears as a small square button on face of device located below the curved sensor screen.

The ATP1277 sensor device replaces any single-pole switch, and can also be wired 'in parallel' so that two of the devices can be installed in a room, and either device will turn light ON.
No Neutral wire is needed. Device has 2 wires. Switch has 2 wires. Replace switch with device, and if the device does not work, then reverse the device wires.

What is the intermatic e 1020 used for just moved into a house andits in the bathroom and makes a lot of noise.

The E1020 timer is reliable heavy-duty 24-hour on-off analog timer with replaceable trippers and manual override, rated 12 amps.
This timer replaces ordinary single-pole on-off switch.
Timer has extra white wire that connects to white neutral wires inside box to run timer mechanism, while mechanical single-pole switch does not need this wire.
I don't know what it is doing... maybe running the vent fan periodically, or turning on attic vent fan?
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-timers-and-manuals.html#E1020
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-set-timers.html

For same timer, with less noise, install E1100-1200 aka the KM series in-wall analog timer. Or install digital in-wall timer, or replace timer with on-off switch.

I purchased the pr 180 photo electric switch from home depot.there are not any wiring instructions enclosed.I have two black wires and a ground in the wall. there is a green ( ground ) black,red, & a...

Leviton PR180 is a single-pole or 3-way motion activated light switch.
Resources:
http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?item=452283§ion=10892&minisite=10026

The green connects to bare ground wire.
The yellow-red is not used EXCEPT to replace 3-way switch. Cap off yellow-red wire when wiring single-pole.

Your single pole switch has two black wires.
One black wire is Hot from breaker, and the other black wire goes to Load.
Turn power on, and test each black wire to bare copper wire. Tester lights up on Hot wire.

Hot wire connects to PR180 black wire.
Load wire connects to RR180 red wire

I have a intermatic T104m pool timer. The clock works but it doesn't shut off. I have to flip the breaker to shut it down. The manual override switch flips back and forth but nothing happens. ...

Hi,
If you are flipping it off manually and it still won't shut off then the contacts are burnt together internally.
This means that you need to change this timer out....
If you switch it with the same timer you will not need to change the whole box... the old board will snap out and the new board will just snap in the old box, making the change out much more simple.
