VPT24-1P Battery Back-up

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:01:07 GMT

We've a VPT24-1P controlling our outdoor lights for the past couple of years. Lately, I've noticed that the battery backup doesn't maintain clock settings during a power failure--even a brief one. Is there a way to replace the rechargeable battery?

VPT24 display flashing

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 00:48:27 GMT

I installed the VPT24-1PZ according the wiring instructions and programmed the switch. Everything worked perfectly for about 2 weeks. When I decided I wanted to change the programming, I open the cover and when I pressed the "set" button the display went blank. After a few minutes it started flashing, faster and faster until it was back to the full display, however it is not working and if I touch any of the button it goes back blank and then stats flashing again. What is wrong and how can this be fixed?

Help installing VPT24-1P Timer switch

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 20:16:27 GMT

THis is what I am seeing inside my box in the wall -

A copper ground wire

A black wire
A red wire

on this new unit I see the following

green wire - I am pretty certain this connects to the copper wire in the wall
a black wire - which I assume connect to the black wire in the wall

A red wire - (which I would have assumed went to the red wire in the wall but I saw a youtube video where the guy said to not use this wire in a single pole install

I have a yellow and red wire - which I am also fairly certain I do nothing with

White mystery wire

My question is - do I connect the Red to the Red - and then just cover the White wire and have it do nothing

Or do I connect the white wire to the red wire and then put a cover on the red wire like the youtube guy did.

Thanks.

Looking for timer switch that can be turned off

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:09:02 GMT

I need a switch/timer for my bathroom that can be:

- manually turned on

- manually turned off

- if it's turned on and it NOT manually turned off then after X amount of time it will automatically shut off.

Being able to manually turn the switch off means the lights are not ALWAYS on for 5-10 minutes (or whatever the timer is set at).

VPT24 Coordinating Remote switches.

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 16:31:29 GMT

The installation instuctions for the VPT24 in a 3-way configuration specify either a VP0SR-10 or a VP0SR-1L as a coordinating remote switch. Are these the only options or is any CRS (such as a VP0SR-C0) an acceptable alternative??

Can 6230M timers be used in parallel?

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 05:49:29 GMT

Can two 6230M timers be used in parallel? I want to be able to turn on a fan from two different locations.

From my hunting on this site looks like the ltbxx timers can be used this way. Are the 6200 series timers

equivalent to the ltbxx's?

Thx

How do I connect a 6230m on a switch leg for a ventilating fan.

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:17:44 GMT

I wish to connect a 6230m to a fan circuit with the neutral at the fan motor, is it possible?

LTB02-1LZ - compatible with compact fluorescents

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:31:31 GMT

Is the LTB02-1LZ timer compatible with compact fluoresecents? I couldn't find anything in the documentation, or on its web page, that said if it was or not.

Thanks!

Leviton Vizia+ VPT24 timer causing CFL bulbs to stop working

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 03:38:14 GMT

Hi,

I have three outdoor lights on one circuit with two switches. One switch controls one light and the second switch controls the two other lights. I replaced both switches with Leviton VPT24 timers. Both timers work fine. The single light works fine. The two lights work for a short while and then stop lighting up. I changed the bulbs thinking they were burnt out. The new bulbs worked for about an hour and then also stopped working. All three are CFL bulbs. The two switches are not using a 3-way installation.

Can anyone tell me why the two bulbs stop working after a period of time? It's driving me crazy! I'd really like to use these timers but they're useless if they make the bulbs stop working.

Thanks!

LTB60 does not function properly. Fan stays on continuously

CommunityAdmin@leviton.com — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 16:47:17 GMT

Have a three device box in the powder room. One for light, one for outlet and one for overhead exhaust fan. Removed the fan device and found two wires; one from hot (black) gang and one to fan. Connected black wire to the hot (black) gang, green wire to ground gang, white wire to neutral (white) gang and red wire to wire that goes to the fan. The green light on the bottom of the timer stays on and the fan stays on. Timer function does not seem to work. No way I can turn fan off unless I disconnect red wire to the fan. Any ideas?
