IMPORTANT! 

When used in conjunction with an Auxiliary Keypad 

(C4-KA-xx), the wire connecting the Auxiliary Keypad to the switch must 

not exceed 45 m (150 ft.) at 120V AC, and 30 m (100 ft.) at 277V AC.

Installation instructions

Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:

• 

Do not exceed the load capacity requirements of the switch. Refer to the 

load ratings in the specifications above for details.

• 

Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

• 

The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly 

dependent on the following: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout 

of the home; (3) walls separating devices; and (4) electrical equipment 

located near devices.

Turn off the local electrical power by either switching off the circuit breaker or 

removing the fuse from the fuse box. To ensure the wires do NOT have power 

running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.

NOTE:  

The back box wiring shown in this document is an example. Your 

wire colors and functions may differ. If you are not sure which wires are 

the Line In/Hot, Neutral, Load, Traveler, and Earth Ground wires, have a 

trained electrician perform the installation.
