Installing Your On/Off Switch
Step 1.
Two Signal Extenders (#2842P) must be installed if your home does not already have them.
Step 2.
At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction box.
Step 3.
Remove the faceplate from the switch junction box, then unscrew the switch and pull it out from the junction box.
Step 4.
Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing and ensure you have 1/2" of bare wire on the ends.
Step 5.
If you are installing the On/Off Switch into a two-way circuit (where one switch controls the load), follow the diagram
below to identify and connect the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL, 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.
