INSTALLATION STEPS
1. To avoid fire or electrical shock, turn OFF power at
circuit breaker or fuse. Test that the power is OFF
before working.
2. MOUNT THE SWITCH BOX
Install a 2 1/2 inch deep single-gang switch box or a
2 inch deep double-gang switch box.
3. CONNECT WIRING
General instructions for all configurations:
Make sure both the switch box and the appliance are
properly grounded.
Make sure ground wire is securely fastened to rocker
switch’s ground screw. Tighten ground screw 14 to
16-in. lbs. torque.
Remove insulation, approx. 5/8 inch. Use proper
wire nut sizes for number and size of wires.
For screw terminals: Use #12 or #14-AWG solid
copper wire only. Tighten screw terminals 14 to 16
inch lbs. torque.
For 3-rocker units: Strip wires to length of strip
gauge on the back of the switch. Connect wires per
the FIGURE #3 wiring diagram.
For 2 rocker units: Connect wires per either the
FIGURE #1 wiring diagram (two single pole switches
on the same circuit) or the FIGURE #2 wiring diagram
(two single pole switches on separate circuits). With
either method, each single pole switch controls an
independent function.
NOTE: For separate feed (FIGURE #2) operation
only: The break-off tab located between the black
screws should be removed before wiring. Using a
standard slotted screwdriver, move the screwdriver
up and down in the vertical direction until the tab
breaks off.
4. MOUNT ROCKER SWITCH IN SWITCH BOX
Tuck wires into switch box and fasten the rocker
switch to box using attached screws.
