4. Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker. This sensor requires a neutral wire connection. If your existing switch box does not have a neutral wire, consult a qualified electrician.

  1. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the switch you are replacing and turn it OFF. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
  2. Remove Old Switch: Carefully remove the existing wall plate and unscrew the old switch from the wall box. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, noting their connections.
  3. Identify Wires: Identify the Line (hot), Load, Neutral, and Ground wires in the wall box. The Westgate YM2108-T-W typically has five wires: Line, Load, Neutral, Ground, and a Traveler wire for 3-way applications.
  4. Wire Connections: Connect the wires from the wall box to the corresponding wires on the Westgate sensor using wire nuts.
    • Connect the Line wire to the sensor's Line wire.
    • Connect the Load wire to the sensor's Load wire.
    • Connect the Neutral wire to the sensor's Neutral wire.
    • Connect the Ground wire to the sensor's Ground wire.
    • For 3-way applications, connect the Traveler wire to the sensor's Traveler wire and to the corresponding traveler wire on the other 3-way switch. For single-pole applications, cap off the traveler wire.
  5. Mount Sensor: Carefully push the wired sensor into the wall box and secure it with the provided screws.
  6. Install Wall Plate: Attach the new wall plate.
  7. Restore Power: Turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker.
