Honeywell PLS730B1003/U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Honeywell EconoSwitch PLS730B1003 need a neutral wire in the box?
Yes. The EconoSwitch is a single pole, 3-wire device: line, load, and neutral. If the switch box only has a switch loop with no neutral, you cannot install it without pulling a neutral to that box. That is the first thing to check before ordering for an older building.
2) Can I use the PLS730B1003 EconoSwitch to run an exhaust fan or a well pump motor?
Yes, within its motor rating. The EconoSwitch handles 1 HP at 120 Vac, and 20 A at 120 V on inductive load, with a 2400 W maximum on resistive or inductive load. Bath fans, circulation pumps, and similar fractional-horsepower motors on a 120 V circuit are inside that. Anything 240 V or above 1 HP needs a different control.
3) Will the Honeywell EconoSwitch work with LED or CFL bulbs?
It is rated for incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent lighting, including electronic ballasts, and is compatible with CFLs. It is a switching timer, not a dimmer, so the load is simply turned on and off. Confirm your fixture load stays under the 2400 W maximum.
4) Can I use this timer switch on a 3-way circuit with a second switch at the other end of the hall?
No. The EconoSwitch is a single pole device wired line, load, and neutral. It has no traveler terminals, so it cannot replace either switch in a 3-way pair. For a hallway or stairwell controlled from two locations you need a 3-way rated timer or a companion switch arrangement.
5) How many on/off events can I program on the EconoSwitch PLS730B1003?
Seven on and seven off events, with weekly and daily programming. That is enough to give a common-area light or a pump a different schedule each day of the week, or several cycles within one day. It also runs in manual mode as a conventional on/off switch whenever you want to override the schedule.
6) Can this Honeywell timer switch go in an unheated garage or an outdoor-rated enclosure?
The operating range is -15 C to 50 C (5 F to 122 F), so an unheated garage or a parking structure in most climates is fine, but a box that drops below 5 F in winter is outside the range. Shipping and storage tolerate a little more, -20 C to 50 C (-4 F to 122 F).
7) Will the Honeywell EconoSwitch fit in a standard single-gang box behind a decorator plate?
The device body measures 1-13/16 in. wide x 2-23/32 in. high x 1-19/32 in. deep (43 x 68 x 40 mm). The 1-19/32 in. depth is the number to watch: shallow or crowded single-gang boxes with several conductors can be tight, so check your box depth before you cut in.
8) Is the Honeywell PLS730B1003 EconoSwitch UL listed and approved for use in Canada?
It carries both Underwriters Laboratories approval and Canadian Standards Association approval, so it clears inspection on either side of the border. That matters for institutional and multi-family work where the AHJ wants a listed control device on the schedule.
9) Can tenants or staff still operate the light normally, or does everything have to run on the schedule?
Both. The front panel that hides the programming buttons is itself the on-off switch, so anyone walking up to it uses it like an ordinary wall switch. The programming stays behind that panel, which keeps casual users from changing the schedule on a common-area or exterior light.
10) Does the EconoSwitch work on 50 Hz power?
Yes, it accepts both 50 Hz and 60 Hz at 120 Vac. Since the timekeeping is not tied to one line frequency, the same part works on either supply.
