Electricians - I wired it correctly but why does the Timer System always give power to output?

Here is a wiring diagram to a Timer System that controls power to an output area: http://tork.com/pdf48w.htm





I believe i have wired it correctly. But please note that i have a black jump wire attaching "H" with "C". I believe this is ok (see diagram) since the internal switch of the system controls when power is given to the "C"/"NO" combination.





The problem is that when i turn on the Timer System so as to set the times the unit should provide output power i find that the output power is already coming out at the end (i check a wall socket where the output is related to) even though the timer's settings indicate that it is "off". What does this mean? Is the timer system defective? How can it be doing this? My guess is the internal switch is leaking power from the timer supply (input source) and triggering the switch to make the "C"/"NO" combination happen regardless and thus giving my output power by just giving power to the Timer System unit.





Or is the jump wire the problem?

first do you understand the difference between NO and NC contacts? one will be open while the other is closedand they will swap at the start and/or end of the timing cycle. try moving the wire from one to the other. your jumper is correct but i think you are using the wrong contact.
Reply:glen was right you have the contacts wrong. NO means when the timer is switched on then it is open and NC is opposite.
