Titan Helios 12 240v light controller wiring question

I'm replacing a light controller with this helios 12. Right now its just 4 wires (RED, BLACK, WHITE, COPPER) sticking out of the wall.

Does this picture look about right as far as how it should be wired?

Yes, the green is the ground. I'll be plugging the COPPER wire into that post.

The white wire is more or less for illustrative purposes, simply to let anyone who sees this know what my wiring situation looks like.

I had noticed one similar form post that said the WHITE (neutral) wire was not used in this situation, but I'm always open to a second opinion.

Looks right to me. You won't need a neutral (white) since there's no 120v outputs. Cap white wire and save.
I realize this is an old thread but i was wondering where you would install the neutral(white) wire if you did have 120/240 v outlets like the Helios 8?? Thanks for any help in advance!

the helios 8 is a 240 volt controller. The outlets being 120/240 is just the plug style so you don't have to get different cords with 240v plug ends.

that said, IF you really do wanna run it at 120 volts then just land the neutral on the L2 lug and the hot on the L1 lug.

Much appreciated for that clarification!!
