3) Disconnect wires from switch.

4) Turn breaker on.
5) Using a voltage tester, identify the Line and Load wires that are connected to the switch.
6) Identify Neutral and Ground wires.
7) Turn breaker off.
8) Connect wires as follows (confirm firm attachment with no exposed wire).
Keypad Wire Home Wire
Bare copper Ground
White Neutral
Red Load
Black Line
9) With button labels right-side up, gently place Keypad
into junction box and screw into place.
10) Turn breaker on.
Keypad’s LEDs will illuminate.
11) Verify Keypad is working properly by turning the light
on and off.
12) Reinstall the trim plate.
Installation – Circuit with 2 Switches
Circuits with 2 switches controlling the same load are called 3-way circuits. The most common example of a 3-way
circuit is hallway lighting, with a switch at either end of the hall. To install Keypad in a 3-switch circuit, both switches
need to be replaced by Keypads and/or SwitchLincs.
In this example, we will install a 3-way circuit with 2 Keypads, A and B.
1. Turn off circuit breaker(s) feeding power to either of the switch junction boxes (or pull fuse(s)).
2. Pull both switches out of their junction boxes. Each switch will have 3 wires connected to it.
3
3. Disconnect the wires from the old switches.
4
Make sure that the wires are not touching anything.
4. Turn breaker(s) on.
5. Using a voltmeter, test wires from both switches until you find Line (120VAC, usually black).
5
Note: the other 2 wires connected to this switch are Traveler wires.
6. Turn breaker(s) off.
7. Connect the Line wire and the black
6
Traveler wire to the black wire on Keypad A with a wire nut.
8. Cap the other Traveler wire with a wire nut.
9. Cap A’s red wire.
10. Connect neutral to A’s white wire.
11. Connect Ground to A’s bare copper wire.

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.
3
If switch has 4 wires connected to it, it is part of a 3-switch or higher circuit. See next section.
4
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
5
Only one switch in the circuit was connected to Line.
6
If black is not available choose one of the Travelers and make note of its color. Instructions will refer to it as black; if both are black, choose one and use voltmeter to determine which of the
black Travelers in the other junction box you have chosen.
