•  Connect the NEUTRAL wire 

from the circuit and from 

the lamp (LOAD) to the white 

wire on the RD‑250.

•  Connect the power wire 

from the circuit box (HOT) 

to the black wire on the 

RD‑250.

•  Connect the power wire to 

the lamp (LOAD) to the red 

wire on the RD‑250.

•  Cap the yellow wire on the 

RD‑250. It is not used in 

single pole applications.

4b.  3‑way wiring using two 

RD‑250s:

  Twist the existing wires 

together with the wire leads 

on the RD‑250 sensors as 

indicated below. Cap them securely using wire nuts provided. (See Fig. 4b)

•  Connect the green or non‑insulated (copper) GROUND wire from the circuit to 

the green wire on the RD‑250.

•  Connect the NEUTRAL wire from the circuit and from the lamp (LOAD) to the 

white wire on the master RD‑250.

  The term “master” designates the RD‑250 that connects to the load.
•  Connect the NEUTRAL wire from the circuit in the other wiring box to the white 

wire on the auxiliary RD‑250.

•  Connect the power wire from the circuit box (HOT) to the black wire on the 

auxiliary RD‑250 and to the TRAVELER 1 wire.

•  Connect the TRAVELER 1 wire from the black wire of the auxiliary RD‑250 to 

the black wire of the master RD‑250.

•  Connect the lamp power (LOAD) to the red wire on the master RD‑250.
•  Cap the red wire on the auxiliary RD‑250.
•  Connect the TRAVELER 2 wire coming from the yellow wire of another RD‑250 

to the yellow wire of the RD‑250 that you are wiring.

4c.  Multi‑way wiring using one RD‑250 and up to four RH‑253s:

One RD‑250 can be connected with up to 4 RH‑253 single pole momentary wall 

switches for multi‑way Manual‑ON/OFF control of one single load.

 The RD‑250 

must be installed in the wiring wall box that connects to the load.
