Preparation
Installation should be performed only by aqualified electrician, or by ahomeowner who is familiar and comfortable with electrical cir-
cuitry.
If there are any questions, consult an electrician. For setup questions contact Tech Support at Smarthome for guidance.
Tools you will need:
•A standard screwdriver.
•A Phillips screwdriver.
•A wire cutter/stripper.
•Optional: A
#1 Phillips screwdriver "\.0 change the paddle color (sold separately)
•Optional: Avoltage tester
to identify wires inside the junction box
•Optional: Adecora wall plate if
you are replacing atoggle switch
Installing Your On/Off Switch
Step 1. Two Signal Extenders (#2842P) must be installed if your home does not already have them.
Step 2. At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction box.
Step 3. Remove the faceplate from the switch junction box, then unscrew the switch and pull it out from the junction box.
Step 4. Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing and ensure you have 1/2" of bare wire on the ends.
Step 5. Ifyou are installing the On/Off Switch into atwo-way circuit (where one switch controls the load), follow the diagram
below to identify and connect the
LINE, LOAD, NEUTRAL, and GROUND wires. If the colors of the wires do not match the
diagram,
be sure you have identified the wires correctly before connecting them.
NEUTRAL
Usually White
NOTE
Smarthome Tech Support
800-SMARTHOME
(800-762-7846) .
The NEUTRAL wire will not normally
be connected
to the switch you are
replacing.
If there is no NEUTRAL
wire in the junction box, please con-
sult an electrician or call

Step 6. If you are installing into amulti-way circuit (where more than one switch controls the load), consult the User's Guide.
Step 7. Ensure that all wire connectors are firmly attached and that there is no exposed copper except for the GROUND wire.
Step 8. Orient the On/Off Switch with the status LED at the left, gently place it into the junction box, then screw it into place.
Step 9. Turn the circuit breaker back on or reinstall the fuse.
Step 10. Test that the On/Off Switch is working properly by turning the light on and off.
Step 11. Reinstall the faceplate.

Using the On/OffSwitch Virtual Two-way and Multiway Circuits
In avirtual multi-way circuit, only one On/Off Switch, called the Primary, actually controls the LOAD in the multi-way circuit. Anyaddi-
tional On/Off Switches, called Secondaries, are not connected to the
LOAD, but only to the powerline (by being wired to the LINE and
NEUTRAL). All of the On/Off Switches can communicate with one another using INSTEON networking on the powerline. After wiring in
the On/Off Switches, you create the virtual multi-way circuit
by setting up all of the On/Off Switches to control one another.
The diagram below shows how you convert awired-in three-way circuit into avirtual three-way circuit using two On/Off Switches.

Notice that one of the TRAVELER wires (number 1, the red one) is not used, so you will cap it off at both ends with awire nut.
The other TRAVELER (number 2, the black one) you will convert to a LINE wire. In the junction box where the Secondary is, connect
TRAVELER 2 to the existing LINE and also to the Secondary's LINE wire. In the otherjunction box at the other end, you will connect
TRAVELER 2to the Primary's LINE wire.
The Primary's LOAD wire gets connected to the actual lights that are being controlled.
The
LOAD wire for any Secondaries that you will be installing will not be connected to anything, so cap those LOAD wires off with a
wire nut.
All On/Off Switches, whether they are Primaries or Secondaries, must be connected to NEUTRAL and to GROUND. Note that the
switches
you are replacing will not normally have aconnection to NEUTRAL. Ifthere is no NEUTRAL wire in the junction box, please
consult an electrician or call Smarthome
