Can I use this on a single switch with no grounding?

I don't think you can since no ground implies no neutral. You need the neutral.

You can, but I would recommend getting the RPLS740b instead, since you only need single pole. Honeywell DOES NOT HONOR their WARRANTY on the PLS series (incl PLS 750c) unless you work through an electrical contractor, despite the warranty making no mention of that fact. PLS is their Pro line that's meant to be purchased from and installed/troubleshot by your electrical contractor, RPLS is Retail/Consumer/DIY line, so they do honor their warranty for the DIYer on the RPLS line. I wonder if PLS is even supposed to be available through other than a contractor. Only reason to go w/the PLS 750c is if you need 3-way or 21 program slots.

You should be able to either ground that connection or use a relay unit. There are several videos on YouTube that explain how this is done.

I did install it with a neutral and I do not know if it would work without one. I am sorry for not being of much help!

I use it without grounding and no problem. It is a general rule for any electrical equipments tp avoid shock in case an electrical leak to the metal parts.

You just need single pole - one item Double pole allows the switch to control two seperate items with one ground and two lives.

You really only want to feed the switch with whatever amperage feed you need for the circuit you are switching. I wouldn't just tap off anything to feed the switch and the light. Since you can only feed the switch once, you would have to make that decision.

We haven't been able to install this yet, so I can't comment. The house we are temporarily in does not have grounded switches.

Yes just ground the black wire to a negative wire or grounded source. Run the red or positive wire from your dc source and through the single toggle switch. Just be sure to use a fused source that is low amps because the light has small gauge wires. 5 amps would my choice of fuse size

Not at all. It was an easy install. I had the wire go from the battery to the switch. The switch had a ground, then went from the switch directly to the light. Then I had to ground the light. It was super easy. I put an inline fuse between the switch and the light but I don't see the need for it. All you need is some wire and wire connectors and you're set

Yes...it can be used as a single pole or as a 3-way switch. Someone with basic electrical skills can install.

Grounding the neutral is not allowed per electric code. The EI 600 model is the same timer but does not require a neutral wire.

No. Always use positive in series. You want to break the hot wire. If you break the neg. you still have voltage potential if something becomes grounded. This is true regardless of type of switch. Just like the light switches in you house.

There is a way to ground it, but you must do it through a separate amp. Hope this helps!

This is not a stand alone switch. It must be wired into the circuit containing the fixture to be controlled (i.e. traveler, neutral and ground).

It would not be difficult, the primary switch would wire the same way the secondary you would have to take black wires to the switch and do away with the neutral

Anything that you plug into this switch will be turned on and off at the same time. You can plug in anything you want to. However, like any piece of electrical equipment, there are ratings to consider. These switches are not to be loaded with more than 10 amps (the equivalent of 1200 watts at 120V), unless you want to risk the potential for an electrical fire. Whatever you plug into this switch, don't exceed these ratings.

You will need to use a relay in order to do something like that. The switch alone cannot handle that much current, it is meant for very low voltage situations, or use with a relay switch.
