Changing the Paddle and LED Colors
Note: The setup LED uses red and green colors to assist in programming the SwitchLinc. Changing the
clear light pipe to a different color will make determining red or green colors difficult.
You can remove the LEDs and/or front paddle and trim frame assembly before or after SwitchLinc is
installed. During the changeover process, power and load may remain on and operating. There are no
dangerous voltages or unsafe areas under the paddle.
1) If SwitchLinc is already installed in the wall, remove the
wallplate from the switch junction box
2) Remove the four Phillips screws that hold the paddle
assembly to the metal frame
3) Pull the entire paddle straight away from the switch. You may
have to wiggle the bottom of the frame to get it free from the
set button.

4) Using a flat blade or needle nose pliers, remove the large
light pipe as shown in Figure 2. Light pipe will snap out of the
frame. Do the same for the small light pipe.

flat tool
5) Choose which LEDs and/or paddle and trim frame you would like to install into SwitchLinc
6) Orient the new small light pipe with its protrusion facing
toward center of the new frame and snap it into place. If
placed in backwards or reversed, it will not click into place.
Refer to Figure 3.
7) Orient the new large light pipe with side that has the most
protrusions facing toward the center of the new frame. Using
only finger pressure, snap the light pipe into the frame. Refer
to Figure 3.

protrusions facing the center
8) If both light pipes are installed correctly, they will stick straight out from back of the frame, as
shown in Figure 4. If installed incorrectly, they will appear to be tilted as shown in Figure 5.
