Ok, you still need mains to 1 and 2 to operate the timer.

 

Then one side of the transformer output to 3 then lamps to 5 leave the other side of the transformer alone.

 

BUT

 

If you have an electronic transformer it may not like having the load switched, plus you then have your 12V (safe) and mains (lethal) in close proximity, I would switch the mains side and have done with it.

 

I may sound dumb now, but the timer doesn't operate on a 12V dc input, as is my understanding?

Below is a picture of the manual.

The transformer I have is the type used with a laptop, and I actually keep it powered up 24/7.

Live from the supply (NOT switched) to 1 and 3

Neutral from the supply to 2

Lamp to 5

Return from lamp to Neutral (2)

 

Do you want your indoor switch to over-ride the timer? If so connect the switch between 3 and 5.

 

If your timer switch doesn't have a proper terminal block that plugs on to those blades and you use Lucar push on connectors please ensure they are properly sleeved and put the whole lot in a plastic box to avoid accidentally touching something that can bite.

 

Think I should add some more info as it seems it may be important in this case.

Outdoor lights are 12V and timer switch is rated at 12V - 220V.

12V transformer which is inside a large waterproof control box outside is controlled by the indoor switch, and I intend to place the timer between adapter and outdoor lights, so that it is operated in 12V.

Indoor switch doesn't need to override the timer, since the lights have only an aesthetic function

I would think it's like the "type a" in the instruction sheet here:

One side of your line into #3, then one side of your light to #5, other side of your light back to the panel.  Odd that it is labeled Single pole, single throw.  But the diagram shows a double throw.

 

If you go from your indoor switch to 1 & 2, it seems the timer will be shut down if if the switch is off.  Will that mess with the function and timing?  There are ways to connect so the module stays "alive" and the wall switch could be used to turn on the light in an override mode.

My timer switch looks the same as in your link and so does the manual. My intention is to have the indoor switch control the timer, e.g switch off - timer off. The timer has an internal battery which should cover 3 years.

So I think it is correct to connect the indoor switch to 1 & 2, and which of the other connectors should then go to the lights?

I want to operate my out door light with a timer switch. I purchased a timer switch which has a wiring diagram as in the picture below.

I understand that from the indoor switch I go to 1 and 2, but with connections I use to go to the outdoor lights?

I thought someone said somewhere mid 2015, after the deadly accident in Chachoengsao that ALL vans would have gps installed within 1 month.

Redhorse is a Filipino beer; one of the cheapest there, but it is high in alcohol content, some 7-9%. I usually see it at Tesco in Hatyai.

And that was exactly my point, some people on this forum associate high alcohol content with good taste, something that is not related at all but is more a sign of something else.

If you don't believe me, try rubbing alcohol and  report back.

When has the US hacked a political party's computer servers in a foreign country, just before an election, and passed on the data to another organization for publishing on the internet?  Only one example is needed.  Otherwise, it's not hypocritical.

You think they would publish it in the major news papers when they hack a political parties computer?

The CIA has done far worse things than disturbing an election, and there are plenty of examples of that.

Did you say something about hypocrites?

I'm liking the Cheers Riceberry, blue label.  At 48 baht per 500 ml, not bad al all.

Cheers riceberry beer doesn't have any blue in the label, it is black with gold

Not available here but when i'm in Hong Kong i can buy at under 50 baht per 500 ml a Danish beer, Bear Beer. I can choose, 5%, 7.7% or 12% alcohol beer for that price, lager or stout. 

Sound good to you?  look here  http://www.harboe.com/en/

So 12% alcohol beer cost the same as 5% alcohol? I guess you must be drunk to write so many untruths in just 2 posts.

Red Horse is pretty good - but not easy to find..

Red horse is the cheapest beer available on the Thai market isn't it?

No doubt it will be much better than all the premium beers, but I guess high alcohol content is the main factor for your taste buds.

Is this the same "partner"{ which you were talking about a few weeks ago?
