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.
The back box wiring shown in this document is an example. Your
NOTE:
wire colors and functions may differ. If you are not sure which wires
are the Hot, Neutral, Load, Traveler, and Ground wires, have a trained
electrician perform the installation.
3 Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 5/8 of an inch
from the wire end (see Figure 1).
