    SwitchLinc Timer Owner’s Manual Installing SwitchLinc Timer in a Multi-Way Circuit Understanding Multi-Way Circuits If more than one switch controls a single set of lights (called a load), the switches are part of a multi-way circuit. A 3-way circuit uses two switches to control a load, a 4-way circuit uses three switches, and so forth.
