2. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have the necessary tools: a flat-head screwdriver, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and pliers. It is crucial to turn off the power at your circuit breaker before handling any electrical wiring. If you are unsure about performing these operations safely, consult a professional electrician.
2.1 Identifying Wires
After turning off the power, carefully remove your old switch. Identify the following wires:
- Neutral Wire: Normally white.
- Ground Wire: Usually green or bare copper.
- Line Wire: Typically black and energized even when the power is on (use a non-contact voltage tester to confirm).
- Load Wire: Also typically black, but not energized when the power is on.
