This Month’s Category: VPT24 Programmable Electronic Timer
Challenge: Setting and Programming Timer

Seems electrical installers have no problem wiring electronic timers, however sometimes commissioning and programming can be challenging. We’ve kept the VPT24 programming as simple as possible, but below are a few tips to help facilitate your next timer install.

1. The challenge on programming the VPT24 can be the size of the LCD screen. While the LCD screen is helpful when programming, the screen size is limited due to the size of the device. One way around this is to use your reading glasses, or you can switch to a Decora Smart® device which utilizes your smartphone for programming.
    
2. For faster programming, the VPT24 offers 2 programming options: “Simple” and “Pro”. Use the “Simple” mode for basic device functionality; as you become more familiar with the device, you can explore more advanced programming options within the “Pro” mode.
    
3. Check out our user-friendly videos for step-by-step instructions on the programming process.
