One switch controlling a light fixture.
This switch will be a single-pole. The switch will have
insulated wires connected to two screws of the same
color plus a green ground screw.
Three switches controlling a light fixture.
Two switches will be 3-way and others will be 4-way.
TAG
the two 3-way switches as in the Two-Location diagram
above. The 4-way switch will have four screws plus a
green ground screw.
TAG
the two same color insulated
wires which are connected to opposite colored screws.
Two switches controlling a light fixture.
Both switches will be 3-way. Each switch will have three
screws plus a green ground screw. One of these is a
screw of a different color (not green) or labeled COM-
MON.

to the lighting load.
• Connect the
black
wire on the dimmer to the other wire
removed from the switch.
• Connect the
white
wire on the dimmer to neutral.
• Cap off the
blue
wire on the dimmer. It is not used in a sin-
gle-pole circuit.
Wiring the Dimmer:
• Connect the

black
wire on the dimmer to either of the
remaining wires removed from the switch.
• Connect the
white
wire on the dimmer to neutral.
• Connect the
blue
wire on the dimmer to the remaining wire
removed from the switch (note wire color).
Wiring the Smart Remote (MA-R, MSC-AD):
• Connect the
green
wire on the Smart Remote to the bare
copper or green ground wire in the wallbox.
• Connect the
red
wire on the Smart Remote to the tagged
wire removed from the switch.
• Connect the
blue
wire on the Smart Remote to the same
color wire that was connected to the
blue
wire on the dim-
mer noted above.
• Connect the
black
wire on the Smart Remote to the
remaining wire removed from the switch.
Wiring the Dimmer: (replaces a 3-way switch)
Note: The Dimmer MUST be on the load side of the Smart
Remotes.
• Connect the
green
wire on the dimmer to the bare copper
or green ground wire in the wallbox.
• Connect the
yellow
wire on the dimmer to the tagged wire
removed from the switch. This wire must be going to the
lighting load.
• Connect the
blue
wire on the dimmer to the same color
wire that was connected to the
blue
wire on the Smart
Remote noted above.
• Connect the
black
wire on the dimmer to the remaining
wire removed from the switch.
• Connect the
white
wire on the dimmer to neutral.
Wiring a Smart Remote (MA-R, MSC-AD):
(replaces the 4-way switch(es))
• Connect the
green
wire on the Smart Remote to the bare
copper or green ground wire in the wallbox.
• Connect the
blue
wire on the Smart Remote to both of the
tagged wires (noting their color) removed from the 4-way
switch.
• Connect the
black
wire on the Smart Remote to one of the
remaining wires removed from the switch.
• Connect the
red
wire on the Smart Remote to the remain-
ing wire removed from the switch.
Wiring another Smart Remote (MA-R, MSC-AD): (replaces
a 3-way switch)
• Connect the
green
wire on the Smart Remote to the bare
copper or green ground wire in the wallbox.
• Connect the
black
wire on the Smart Remote to the tagged
wire removed from the switch.
• Connect the
blue
wire on the Smart Remote to the same
color wire that was connected to the
blue
wire on the dim-
mer noted above.
• Connect the
red
wire on the Smart Remote to the remain-
ing wire removed from the switch.
Connect up to
a total of 9
