972TD Illuminated Pushbuttons with Integrated Timer Installation Instructions

Updated

 

Instructions

  1. A 2-1/4” (57mm) deep back box is required. Match your message color with lens cap color and snap into the housing. Timer and pushbutton connections are already wired as shown.
  2. To change the LED voltage, slightly turn the white lamp holder in a counterclockwise direction to release from the black housing and pull it out. Change LED cluster as desired and re-turn the lamp holder back into place. 

NOTE: If LED doesn’t light, reverse bulb in socket.

Connect appropriate 12 or 24 VDC supply voltage to the red (+) and black (–) harness leads.

NOTE: Overheated / melted components caused by incorrect input voltage will not be covered under warranty.                                                            

To change the message tag, remove the lamp holder as described above and then pinch the white tabs to release the lens cap. Be careful not to lose the spring. Insert your thumbnail between the corner of the lens cap and white extension and then slide it along the edge to separate the cap. Tap the cap to remove the message tag.
