INSTALLATION OPTIONS
To begin the installation process, you must first know what type of installation is needed. Below are the 3 different installation options. Please refer to the following descriptions for the
installation instructions that apply to you.
1.
Single-Pole Installation (Complete steps 1-3 and 6 in the Installation section):
This installation option should be used when a switch only controls one light from a single location. A typical example of where you would find a single-pole switch is your bedroom or
bathroom light switch.

This installation option replaces a switch which controls a light that can be controlled from two locations and in most installations has the common (hot) terminal tied to the lamp/load the
switch turns OFF and ON. Typically these types of installations are in stairwells, hallways, and large rooms with multiple accesses points.
3.
3-Way Installation, Line Side (Complete steps 1-2, 5, and 6 in the Installation section):
This installation option replaces a switch which controls a light that can be controlled from two locations and in most installations has the common (hot) terminal tied to 120VAC. Typically
