Chamberlain 772CB Owner's Manual

MODEL 772CB INDOOR/OUTDOOR WIRE-IN LIGHT CONTROL-OWNERS MANUAL
FOR INSIDE USE ONLY WITH INCANDESCENT LAMP CIRCUITS OF 500 WATTS OR LESS, NOT FOR USE IN
CIRCUITS WITH FLUORESCENT LAMPS OR WITH LIGHT DIMMERS.
The Wire-in Control can be operated by remote control transmitters: Models 73, 750, 753, 756 and Series 50.
The Wire-in Control consists of two parts: the power supply and the receiver. It can replace either single pole (1 switch
controlling a single light) or 3-way switches (2 switches controlling a single light). Depending on the 3-way switch wiring, light
may turn on after a power failure. If properly wired, this will not occur with a single pole switch installation.

BEGINNING INSTALLATION
Figure 1 illustrates the installation of receiver and power
supply to junction box in interior wall.
1. Pry up lower edge of actuator button until it
separates from receiver housing. Set actuator
aside.
2. Remove the 6-32"x11/2" screw and unplug
receivers from power supply. Set receiver aside.
3. Remove wall plate and set aside for reassembly.
4. Remove screws holding switch to junction box.
Transmitter range will vary depending on your house and wiring construction. metal lath, foil-backed insulation or aluminum
siding will reduce range. After installation is complete, test remote control operation at various locations within your home for
convenience and range.
SINGLE POLE SWITCH: If transmission range is noticeably shorter when turning OFF than when turning light ON, reverse
wiring connections.
3-WAY SWITCH: If transmission range is noticeably shorter when turning light OFF than when turning light ON, the Wire-in
Control needs to be installed in the other switching location. (The black wire in the Wire-in Control must be connected to the
"hot" junction box wire.)
CAUTION: If there is a ground on your switch (usually a bare attached to a green screw on switch), connect wire to the metal
junction box. If box is plastic, connect wire to metal part of Wire-in Control.
SINGLE POLE SWITCH
Fold the BLUE power supply wire back as shown and cap with
wire nut. Screw nut in clockwise direction to secure.
cap black control wire to one junction box wire and red control
wire to the other. Screw wire nuts on clockwise, making sure
bare wires are covered.
5
. Pull switch from the junction box in order to access
the connecting terminals.
On a3-way switches mark the common
terminal wire before disconnecting. (Common
terminal may be marked "common", "com" - or
uses a different color screw (gold or silver) than
the other two terminal screws.)
6 Disconnect wires from switch. Straighten the
ends and make sure that insulation is trimmed
back 1/2" to allow connection of power supply wires.
3-WAY SWITCH
Start by capping the black control wire to the COMMON
"hot or live" wire; the red and blue control wires separately
to the other two junction box wires in any order. Screw
wire nuts on clockwise, making sure bare wires are
covered.
