Installation

Locate the TDR-10 so as to minimize the length of the AC power cable and the cord going to the lights (or
other device) to be controlled. The drawing below shows the connections to be used if the TDR-10 is used
in conjunction with a Museum Technology BB-200 Motion Sensor. If a pushbutton or other form of nor-
mally open switch is employed it is connected between the COMMON and START screw terminals The
cable connecting the TDR-10 and the BB-200 carries only low voltage and may be any reasonable length
up to several hundred feet provided wire of at least 22 guage is used. For ease of installation, the green
screw terminal block my be disconnected from the TDR-10 by simply pulling it out.

Plug the cable from the exhibit into the TIMED OUTLET. Connect the supplied power cord to the POWER
INLET and plug the other end into a source of 120 Volts AC of sufficient capacity to operate the load.

Although ventilation is not required, the TDR-10 should remain accessible for adjustment or service.
