Installation instructions
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
•
When replacing a traditional multi-way (cross) switch, refer to the "Two-
Location" sample wiring configurations provided in the appropriate load
control device installation guide.
•
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 mains electrical power at the consumer unit. To ensure the wires
do not have power running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.
3 Determine whether the keypad will be installed in a square or round wall
box. If the keypad is to be installed in a round wall box, ensure that the
appropriate trim ring (sold separately) is available before proceeding.
4 Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 7mm from the
wire end.
5 If installing in a round wallbox, pull the wires through the center hole in the
trim ring. The arrows on the trim ring should face forward and up.
6 Connect the keypad to the wall box wires as shown in Figure 1 below. (Refer
to the C4-SAPD240 Dimmer Installation Guide or the C4-SSW240 Switch
Installation Guide for multi-location wiring details.)
