SwitchLinc Timer Owner’s Manual
6)
Connect the
SwitchLinc
Secondary’s GROUND Wire.
Connect the bare
copper GROUND wire to the other GROUND wire in the junction box.
7)
Install additional SwitchLinc Secondaries.
If you have a 4-way or greater switching circuit, see
Special Treatment for 4- or More-Way Circuits
at the end of this section.
8)
Identify the wires for the SwitchLinc Primary.
The SwitchLinc Primary is the SwitchLinc that will
actually control the load. In the junction box where you will install the SwitchLinc Primary, find the wire
that carries power from the switch to the lights. This wire, called the LOAD wire, is commonly red.
In the same junction box, there will also be the two TRAVELER wires from the first box, often both in the
same cable sheath. Identify the TRAVELER wire (black) that you connected the LINE wire to in the first
junction box.
If you’re not sure which is the TRAVELER wire connected to the LINE wire, you can use the same method
described in step 1 to find it. Turn on the power (taking the same precautions) and use a voltmeter to find
the wire with 110 – 120 Volts AC on it.
Make sure the power is turned off again before proceeding.
9)
Connect the
SwitchLinc
Primary’s LINE wire.
Use a wire nut to
connect the TRAVELER wire (usually black) that you identified as
connected to the LINE wire to the
SwitchLinc
Primary’s black LINE wire.
10)
Cap the other TRAVELER wire.
The other TRAVELER wire (usually
red) will not be used, so put a wire nut on the end of it.
11)
Connect the
SwitchLinc
Primary’s LOAD wire.
Use a wire nut to
connect the LOAD wire (usually red) to the
SwitchLinc
Primary’s red
LOAD wire.
12)
Connect the
SwitchLinc
Primary’s NEUTRAL and GROUND wires.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the
SwitchLinc Secondary.
13)
Complete installation.
Return to
Installing SwitchLinc Timer
and continue on from step 5.
14)
Cross-
Link the SwitchLincs.
See
Cross-Linking INSTEON Devices
to complete the virtual 3-way
circuit.
