Safety Notices and Cautions

  • High Voltage: Always disconnect power supply before servicing.
  • Risk of Electric Shock: More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment. A circuit breaker that disconnects both Line and Neutral conductors simultaneously is suitable. Ensure power is off at the circuit breaker before removing or installing any switch. Use a non-contact voltage tester to confirm power is off.
  • Installation Compliance: The Smart Switch must be installed and used in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) or local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with these codes or uncomfortable with the installation, consult a qualified electrician.
  • Avoid Wet Conditions: Do not install the Smart Switch with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surfaces.
