Don't know what you are asking unless it is.
"I have a light on a set of 3-way switches and want to use a timer switch."

The wiring diagram is here: TORK 1101 SPST 120V TIME SWITCH (http://www.weisd.com/store2/TOR1101.php)
From what I see, you need a neutral which you don't have.
In the timer, think of 1 & 2 as the switch and X & L the power to operate the timer.
To make wiring convenient, they provided a removeable jumper between L & 1.
One way is to remove the jumper. Apply 120 V to X & L all the time and put the existing switch terminals to pins 1 & 2.
