Installation instructions

1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:

• When replacing a traditional 3-way 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 o the mains electrical power at the consumer unit. To ensure the wires

do not have power running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.

Note: The wall box wiring shown in this document is an example. Your
wire colors and functions may dier.

3 If the keypad is to be installed in a round wall box, attach the Trim Ring to

the wall box following the instructions in the Trim Ring Installation Guide

(

4 Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 7mm from the

wire end.

5 Identify and connect the keypad wires to the wall box wires using the

terminal block as shown in Figure 1 below.

6 Fit the wires back into the wall box. Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so

that they easily fold into the wall box.

7 Align the keypad to the wall box or Trim Ring, making sure the arrows

point up, then fasten it with screws. Tighten the screws until the back side
of the yoke plate is even with the wall surface or Trim Ring, but no further.
Overtightening can warp the configurable keypad and cause mechanical
malfunction.
