IMPORTANT! How to identify Common Wires* Two location: Each switch will have insulated wires connected to three terminal screws plus a green or bare wire connected to a green terminal screw. The three terminals are usually one dark colored screw and two light colored screws (ignore the Green screw). Alternatively, the three screws may be the same color and one will be marked COMMON or COM Find the wires connected to the dark or COMMON screws. Usually these wires are black but may be red or blue. Tag these wires on both switches to identify when wiring. Three location: Two of the existing switches will be 3-way. The 3-way switches will be located at each end of the circuit with a 4-way switch in between. TAG the two 3-way switches as in the Two Location Control section. The 4-Way switch has 4 insulated wires connected to 4 terminal screws. VERY IMPORTANT - TAG two same color insulated wires, which are connected to screws of opposite colors.

Turn OFF circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and test that power is off
before wiring.
Identify existing wiring (This switch will be a single-pole)
and tag “Hot” wire. Use voltage tester as necessary to confirm “Hot” wire
(Voltage will be present at the “Hot” wire when the lights are off).
Gently push dimmer into place and secure with mounting screws. Make
sure disconnect switch at bottom of master is fully pushed in
Two Location Control Installation (requires one Master and one Accessory)
Turn OFF circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and test that
power is off before wiring.
Identify existing wiring (both existing
switches will be “3-way”) Tag common wire on both 3-Way
switches
(see “How to Identify Common Wires” section
*
)
Three Location Control Installation (requires one Master and two Accessory dimmers)
Turn OFF circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and test
that power is off before wiring.
Identify existing wiring
(4-way switches) Tag common wires on 4-Way switch.
(see “How to Identify Common Wires” section
*
)
Connect the second Accessory Dimmer (4-way switch) as shown.

Two location:
Each switch will have insulated wires connected to three terminal screws plus a
green or bare wire connected to a green terminal screw. The three terminals are
usually one dark colored screw and two light colored screws (ignore the Green
screw). Alternatively, the three screws may be the same color and one will be
marked COMMON or COM Find the wires connected to the dark or COMMON
screws. Usually these wires are black but may be red or blue. Tag these wires on
both switches
to identify when wiring.
Three location:
Two of the existing switches will be 3-way. The 3-way switches will be located
at each end of the circuit with a 4-way switch in between. TAG the two 3-way
switches as in the Two Location Control section. The 4-Way switch has 4 insu-
lated wires connected to 4 terminal screws.
VERY IMPORTANT - TAG two same
color insulated wires, which are connected to screws of opposite colors.
Refer to 1.4 to push dimmers into place.
