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.
2
3. Disconnect the wires from the old switches.
3
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).
4
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
5
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.
12. In Keypad B’s junction box, find the Load wire (connects switch to lights, commonly red and will be the only
wire connected to the switch other than the Travelers).
13. Connect the Load wire to B’s red wire.
14. In the same junction box, connect the black Traveler wire to B’s black wire.
15. Cap the other Traveler wire.
16. Connect Neutral to B’s white wire.
17. Connect Ground to B’s bare copper wire.
18. With button labels right-side up, gently place Keypads into junction boxes and screw in place.
19. Turn breaker(s) on.
o
Both Keypads’ LEDs will illuminate.
20. Verify Keypad A is working properly by turning the light on and off.
21. Follow steps on Page 8 to cross-link both keypads so that they both control the load.
22. Reinstall trim plates.
2
If switch has 4 wires connected to it, it is part of a 3-switch or higher circuit. See next section.
3
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
Only one switch in the circuit was connected to Line.

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.
