Using Dimmer or Relay Control in Virtual Multi -Way Circuits
You can use Dimmer or Relay Control to replace switches in multi -way circuits that are already wired in or to
create multi-way circuits where there is no existing wiring. These are called virtual multi -way circuits. In a virtual
multi-way circuit, only one Dimmer or Relay Control is actually connected to and controls the load. Any
additional Dimmer or Relay Control modules (called Dimmer or Relay Control Secondaries) are only connected
to the powerline via the line and neutral wires. All Dimmer or Relay Con trol can communicate with one another
using Libre Home networking on the powerline. After wiring in Dimmer or Relay Control, you can create a virtual
multi-way circuit by setting up all of the modules to control each other. The diagram below shows how you
convert a wired-in 3-way circuit using two Dimmer or Relay Control.
Note: The wire colors indicated a re the reg ular
colors, may differ ent in som e homes.

undesired operation.
2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV tec hn i cia n for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure
limits, Human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal
operation
