You're right! I'm reading the instructions. The unit I have is a 20A device.
But they don't show this on the main installation page...you have to flip
the instuctions back and forth and figure out what model you have. I went
with what the guy at the BORG recommended. Obviously too heavy a switched.
In short I could have bought the 6560M model which has slightly different
times but is only rated for 5A devices such as small fans and lights. Thx.

IIRC, Tim Taylor had a plan to use a whole house fan as a bathroom
fan. It was great. It had bubbles coming up out of the toilet. You
may want to do that in a couple years, so it's good you have the right
timer.

What was the difference in price?

Possibly you misinterpreted the instructions. From what I see, it's a 20
amp
rated switch that requires a neutral to function

I recently upgraded my bathroom fan from a on/off switch to a Leviton
switch
a "5, 10, 15, 30 minute" electronic model 6230M. I was thinking since
it's
a
15A circuit and a bathroom fan that I'd hook it up using the "5 Amp"
wiring
diagram, a fan not going to pull anything near 5 amps right?. Black to
Line,
Blue to device and Green to ground, White/Neutral not connected. Well
that
didn't work. The LED didn't even come on. So, I change my approach to
use
Leviton's "20 Amp" wiring diagram which basically just means that you
hook
the Leviton timer's white lead into the neutral as well. At first I
thought
that wasn't working either. When I put the power on the main line the
LED
on
the bottom just blinked. I tried pushing some buttons and nothing, then
after about another minute it just started mysteriously working like it
should. I used a VO meter to test everything, the wiring is all as it
should
be. Do these switches need to "charge up" before they start working?
What's
with the 5 Amp circuit not working. Thx.
