Installation instructions
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
• Do not exceed the load capacity requirements of the switch. Refer to the
load ratings in the specifications above for details.
• Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
• The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly
dependent on the following: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout
of the home; (3) walls separating devices; and (4) electrical equipment
located near devices.
2 Turn off the local electrical power by either switching off the circuit breaker or
removing the fuse from the fuse box. To ensure the wires do NOT have power
running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.
NOTE: The back box wiring shown in this document is an example. Your
wire colors and functions may differ. If you are not sure which wires are
the Line In/Hot, Neutral, Load, Traveler, and Earth Ground wires, have a
trained electrician perform the installation.
