Ensure that all wires are safely separated before turning the Circuit Breaker "ON." Connect the tester between the tagged common terminal and ground in one of the boxes to determine the location for the Accessory Dimmer. If the test indicates voltage then that will be Location A, and will be used for the Accessory Dimmer. If voltage is not present then the other 3-way location will be Location A. NOTE: Disconnect power after this step. Hot 120V Black Neutral Green Ground White White White LOCATION A Black Traveler Wires Red Black Green Ground White Disconnect existing switch and remove.

White Light Fixture 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. Refer to 1.4 to push dimmers into place. Universal Remote Control, Inc. 500 Mamaroneck Ave. Harrison, NY 10528 (914) 835-4484 [email protected] www.UniversalRemote.com RFAL-DIMR-U-EN (REV. A)
