13) Connect SwitchLinc white wire to neutral wire(s) in wall box (usually white)
14) Connect SwitchLinc red wire to load wire
15) Connect SwitchLinc black wire to same color traveler from Box 1 carrying Line (usually black)
16) Cap unused traveler wire
17) With LEDs on left, gently place SwitchLincs into their wall boxes and screw in place
18) Turn power back on
SwitchLincs and connected load will turn on (only SwitchLinc in Box 2 will operate load)
19) Add both SwitchLincs to a group. See “Groups”
20) Verify both SwitchLincs are working properly by tapping on and off on each SwitchLinc
Both SwitchLincs and the connected load will remain in synch
21) Reinstall wallplates
Installation – Circuit with 3 (or more) Switches
Circuits with 3 or more switches are called 4-way (or 5-way, etc.) All switches in 3-way/4-way circuits
need to be replaced by INSTEON devices.
1) Turn off circuit breaker(s) and/or remove fuse(s) feeding wall boxes (verify that power is off)
2) Pull all three switches from their wall boxes (4-way (and higher) switches have 3 or 4 wires)
3) Remove wires from existing switches
4) Make sure wires are safely separated from each other and turn power back on
5) Using a voltage meter measure each wire to ground in all three boxes until you find the single wire
supplying 120V (line)
a. We will now refer to that location as Box 1
b. The location having 2 sets of matching pairs of wires will be Box 2 (i.e. 2 reds and 2 blacks, or
other matching colors). These are 2 travelers from Box 1 and 2 travelers leading to Box 3
c. The last box will have the load wire. That will be Box 3
6) Turn power back off
In Box 1 (Line box)
7) Connect SwitchLinc bare wire to
ground
8) Connect SwitchLinc white wire to
neutral
9) Cap SwitchLinc red wire
10) Connect SwitchLinc black wire to line
plus one traveler (preferably black)
and note color of traveler you are
using as this will carry line voltage to
Box 2
11) Cap unused traveler wire
