SwitchLinc Timer Owner’s Manual
Installing SwitchLinc Timer
1) At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction
box. Verify that the power is off by trying to turn on the lights controlled by the switches.
2) Remove the wallplate from the switch you are replacing. Then, unscrew the switch itself and pull it out
from the junction box.
3) Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing. If the wires cannot be detached by
unscrewing them, cut the wires where they enter the switch and then strip ½ inch of insulation off the
ends.
4) If you are installing SwitchLinc into a standard 2-way circuit (where only one switch controls the load),
follow the diagram below to identify and connect the LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires on
SwitchLinc. Be sure you have correctly identified the wires in the switch junction box before
connecting them. See
Identifying the Electrical Wires in your Home.
Wiring Diagram
NOTE: Home’s wire color and wire location may vary
If you are installing SwitchLinc into a multi-way circuit (where more than one switch controls the load),
see
Installing SwitchLinc Timer in a Multi-Way Circuit.
5) After you have connected all of the wires, ensure that the wire connectors are firmly attached and that
there is no exposed copper except for the GROUND wire
6) Gently place SwitchLinc into the junction box, orienting the unit with the LED bar on the left, and
screw into place
7) Enable power to the switch from the circuit breaker or fuse panel
The SwitchLinc Status LED will turn on
8) Test that SwitchLinc is working properly by turning the load (the light wired to SwitchLinc) on and off
from the paddle
9) Reinstall the wallplate
