Installation:
1. Carefully remove the switch unit from its packing.
2. The coated metal faceplate is held on by magnets. Remove the metal plate.
3. The plastic frame may have a slot on the bottom to help with faceplate removal, otherwise,
insert a very thin screwdriver between the faceplate and the frame. Another removal method is
to hold the frame with one hand with the front of the switch facing away from the hand and
rap the frame sharply on the other hand. Since it is held on only with magnets, the metal face
plate should fall out into your hand.
4. Now connect the switch wiring and backlight wiring to the terminals on the back.
5. Test the switch for backlight brightness and indicator function. Remember, you can adjust the
brightness using the thumbwheel on the back.
6. Now screw the frame into the wall using just enough pressure to attach the frame to the wall.
You can adjust the frame slightly up and down and left and right before tightening. Be careful
not to over-tighten as you may crack the plastic frame.
7. Check to see that all the buttons are flush on each side with the frame. If not, you can use a
small screwdriver or butter knife to push the button sides down onto the frame.
8. Be sure that the mask (mylar sheet) is in place over the buttons.
9. Install the Metal faceplate and you are done.
Notes:
1. All white wires at the MCP are to be connected together and connected to an unused
switch input (example Input 96).
2. Program a dummy scene that includes no loads.
3. Assign input 96 to the scene.
4. Create a timed event relative to the astronomical clock that turns on the dummy scene at
sunrise and turns it off at sunset. (This will set a higher light level on the backlighting during
the daylight hours)
5. Backlight Common and Switch Common are connected on the keypad.
