Model 722LM © Indoor/Outdoor Wire-In Light Control FOR INSIDE USE ONLY WITH INCANDESCENT LAMP CIRCUITS OF 500 WATTS OR LESS. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN CIRCUITS WITH FLUORESCENT LAMPS, LIGHT DIMMERS, OR HALOGEN LIGHTING SYSTEMS. The Wire-in Control can be operated by Remote Control Model Series 60 and 80 and by Keyless Entry System Model 66LM. The Control consists of two parts: the power supply and the receiver. It can replace either single pole (1 switch controlling a single light) or 3-way switches (2 switches controlling a single light). Depending on the 3-way switch position, the light may turn on after a power failure. If properly wired, this will not occur with a single pole switch installation. WARNING Turn off the power to the circuit at the fuse box or circuit breaker before beginning installation. Figure 2 Single Pole Switch Figure 1 illustrates the installation of receiver and power supply to junction box in interior wall. 6x1/2" Screw Wall Plate Control Receiver Figure 1 Actuator Interior Junction Box Power Supply PRO 6 -32x1-1/2" Screw Single Pole Switch Instructions, Figure 3: • Disconnect wires from the junction box switch. Straighten the ends to make sure the insulation is trimmed back 1/2" to allow connection of the power supply wires. • Fold the BLUE power supply wire back as shown and cap with a wire nut. Screw nut in a clockwise direction to secure. • Cap black control wire to one junction box wire and red control wire to the other. Screw wire nuts on clockwise, making sure bare wires are covered. 3-Way Switch • Pry up lower edge of actuator until it separates from receiver housing. Set actuator aside. • Remove the 6-32"x1-1/2" screws and unplug receiver from power supply. Set receiver aside, discard spacers. • Remove wall plate and set aside for re-assembly. • Remove screws holding switch to junction box. • Pull the switch from the junction box to access the connecting terminals. See Figure 2. At this point, determine if you have a single pole or 3-way switch and follow the instructions that apply to your situation. Figure 3 CCoonnnneeccttPPoowweerrSSuupppplyly Blue Control Wire Wire Nut Junction Box Red Wire Fold Wire Back Black Wire Common "Hot" Wire Screw Wire Nut Clockwise to Secure Blue Power Wire Supply 3-Way Switch Instructions, Figure 4: • At the junction box where the Light Control will be installed, mark the common terminal wire before disconnecting the switch. (Common terminal may be marked "common", "com" or uses a different color screw [gold or silver] than the other two terminal screws.) • Disconnect wires from that junction box switch only. Straighten the ends to make sure the insulation is trimmed back 1/2" to allow connection of the power supply wires. CAUTION: If there is a ground on your switch (usually a bare wire attached to a green screw on switch), connect the wire to the metal junction box. If the box is plastic, connect the wire to the metal part of the Control. • Start by capping the black control wire to the common "hot or live" wire; and the remaining control wires separately to the other two junction box wires in any order (but remember the color of wire #1 connected to the red control wire). Connect Power Supply Figure 4 • Screw wire nuts on clockwise, making sure the bare wires are covered. Pull on each wire nut to make sure the connections are good. • Carefully pack the wiring back into junction box. Make sure the wires are not pinched or strained. • Fasten power supply to selected junction box location with the #6x1-1/2" flat-head screws provided. (Figure 1). • Move power supply switch to the right as shown in Figure 5. Move receiver slide bar so "ON" is visible. The control will be ON when power to circuit is applied. • Refer to Figure 1. Position wall plate over the junction box. Align receiver so that three-pin plug engages holes in power supply and slide bar engages the power supply switch. Insert (2) #6-32x1-1/2" screws through fastening holes in receiver, wall plate and power supply. Tighten securely. Do not replace the actuator until you have set the code. See Side 2.
