Finding a Suitable 

Location

2

Install the Touch

a. Choose a junction box at which to 

  install the Touch, keeping in mind 

  the guidelines from "Finding a 

  Suitable Location".

b. Affix the bracket to the wall using 

  the six #6-18 x 1" screws included.

c. Connect hot and neutral wires to 

  the wires on the back of the Touch 

  as shown in the “Wiring” section.   

d. Hang the touch from the bracket.

Lightcloud uses a wireless mesh network 

to connect devices such as the Dimmer 

to the Gateway. Unlike a WiFi router, 

each Lightcloud device may connect 

another device to the network. If there 

is a clear line of sight between two 

Lightcloud devices, they can be placed 

up to 1000 feet apart. If the two devices 

are separated by ordinary drywall 

construction, try to keep them within 

100 feet of each other. Brick, concrete 

and steel construction may require 

additional AC-powered Lightcloud 

devices to go around the obstruction. 

See the Deployment section of your 

Gateway for more information.
