Preparation
Before installing SwitchLinc, please familiarize yourself with the following and take the nec-
essary precautions listed here:
• Be sure that the fuse has been removed or the circuit breaker is turned off to the cir-
cuit being controlled. Installing SwitchLinc with the power on will expose you to danger-
ous voltages.
• SwitchLinc Wiring Diagram on page 5 will help you to determine the wire colors of the
connections to the SwitchLinc and Multi-Way Companion Switch. Note: While the neu-
tral connection is optional on the Multi-Way Companion Switch, the SwitchLinc
2-Way requires a neutral connection.
• Wiring for 3-way, 4-way, & up switch circuits follow conventional (standard, non-remote)
wiring practice (plus the requirement for a neutral). Wiring the SwitchLinc Multi-Way
Companion Switch requires the Line (Black) wire be accessible and be the same 110V
leg of the house wiring. The White wire on the Multi-Way Companion Switch is connect-
ed to NEUTRAL ONLY. If neutral is not available, cap the White wire, which will simply
causes the nightlight LED not to function.
• The SwitchLinc may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is with-
in approved limits and poses no hazards. To minimize heat build-up, ensure that the
area surrounding the rear of the SwitchLinc has adequate ventilation (i.e., clear away
excess insulation).
• Installation should be performed only by a qualified electrician, or by a homeowner
who is familiar and comfortable with electrical circuitry. If there are any questions, con-
sult an electrician or contact Smarthome's Tech Support department for guidance.
Using SwitchLinc
* Double or triple tapping a SwitchLinc will cause the light to ramp at a two-second
rate. Only programmed fade-on rates greater than two seconds are effected.
