Wiring Instructions
The ELEGRP Triple Rocker Switch offers two wiring options: side wiring and back wiring.

- Ground Wire: Connect the green or bare copper ground wire from the wall box to the green grounding screw on the switch.
- Hot (Line) Wire: Connect the incoming hot (line) wire to the black screw terminal. This switch uses a common feed for all three loads.
- Load Wires: Connect the three load wires (one for each light/fixture) to the three brass screw terminals.
- Neutral Wire: The neutral wire typically bypasses the switch and connects directly to the loads. Ensure proper neutral connections for your fixtures.
Mounting the Switch
- Carefully fold the wires into the wall box, leaving enough space for the switch.
- Insert the switch into the wall box and secure it with the provided mounting screws. Use the break-off plaster ears for flush alignment if needed.
- Attach the included wall plate over the switch and secure it with the smaller screws.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Test Operation: Test each rocker paddle to ensure proper ON/OFF functionality for its respective load.
