ABSTRACT:
A programmable switch lever control timer device that fits over a standard wall switch with the switch lever engaged by a cam on the device. Rotational motion of the cam provided by a geared DC motor moves the switch lever arm to one of its two end-of-travel positions of operation. Programming and control means are provided by a microprocessor and motor driver circuitry. The programming and control means provides power from a battery source to the geared DC motor in accordance with a user selectable 24-hour program. Proper and accurate alignment of the switch lever and cam during installation is provided by a key-holed alignment plate that is attached to a standard wall switch cover plate prior to installing the device housing. The housing of the device attaches to the alignment plate allowing the housing to properly fit over the switch lever. All of the operating parts including a self-contained battery power source are within the device housing that fits over the standard wall switch cover plate.
