• LOAD (Optional) - usually black or red, feeds power to a connected lighting/appliance fixture.
• NEUTRAL - usually white
• GROUND - bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
If you are having difficulties identifying wires, consult an electrician to help you.
IMPORTANT!
If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with, electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install
KeypadLinc for you. If you have any questions, please consult an electrician or call: 866-243-8022
Tools Needed
- A slotted screwdriver for trim plate
- A Phillips screwdriver for KeypadLinc
- A wire cutter and stripper if the switch you are replacing requires you to cut the wires to remove them
- Voltage Tester - To identify the wires inside the junction box
Button Naming
Throughout this manual, we will use the following naming conventions:
Installation (for a circuit with only one switch)
1) At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction
box. Verify that the power is off by trying to turn on the lights controlled by the switches.
2) Remove the trimplate from the switch junction box, and then unscrew the switch you are replacing
and pull it out from the junction box
3) Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing. If the wires cannot be detached by
unscrewing them, cut the wires where they enter the switch, then strip ½” of insulation off the ends
4) If you are installing KeypadLinc into a standard 2-way circuit (where only one switch controls the
load), follow the diagram below to identify and connect the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL
1
, and GROUND
wires. If the colors of the wires do not match the diagram, be sure you have identified the wires
correctly before connecting them.
5) If you are installing KeypadLinc into a multi-way circuit (where more than one switch controls the
load), follow the instructions in the section Installing KeypadLinc in a Multi-Way Circuit
, to identify
and connect the LINE, TRAVELER, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires
1
If there is no NEUTRAL wire in the junction box, please consult an electrician or call: 866-243-8022
