INSTALLATION OPTIONS
To begin the installation process, you must fi rst 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 (Go to install section 1 on page 2):
This installation option should be used when a switch only controls one outlet from a single location. A typical example of where you would fi nd a single-pole switch is your bedroom or
bathroom light switch.
2 3-Way Installation, Load Side (Go to install section 2 on page 2):
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 (Go to install section 3 on page 2):
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
these types of installations are in stairwells, hallways, and large rooms with multiple accesses points.
