Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
Two-Location Scenario—Power Source at Wall Box
Single-Location Scenario—Power Source at Wall Box
• The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly
dependent on the following: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout of the
home; (3) walls separating devices; and (4) electrical equipment located near
devices.
Note: This device will not function without a neutral AC connection.
Note: This device will not function without a neutral AC connection.
To wire the switch and a multi-button keypad in a two-location scenario
(Escient’s 3-way-switch solution) where the power is first routed to the wall
box, do the following:
To wire the switch for a Escient single-location scenario in which the power is
first routed to the wallbox, use a 4-position terminal connector to connect the
wires indicated in the following table (illustrated in Figure 2):
• DO NOT exceed maximum load rating of switch (which is 1000 Volt for a
single unit).
WARNING! Disconnect power before installing or servicing the
device.
