DESCRIPTION:
This Wall Switch Module is designed for use with
Levlton
Carder Components. It functions as a remote
control
and ALL LIGHTS ON/OFF commands, from one or
more DEC controllers remotely located from the
module. The switch module can also be operated
manually as a standard type wall switch.

intense electrical noise can cause interference with
the signal.
Leviton

overcoming this interference when properly applied.
