Installing Your Switch: Installation for Lights with One Wall Switch (Single-Pole)
Step 1: Turn Power Off at Circuit Breaker!
⚠️ WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD May result in serious injury or death. Turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse before installing.
Diagram Description: Shows a circuit breaker panel with a switch being moved to the 'OFF' position.
Step 2: Remove Existing Switch from Wall
Remove the wallplate from the switch. Then, remove the switch and pull it away from the wall. Disconnect all three wires* from the switch.
Diagram Description: Illustrates removing the wallplate, then the old switch from the electrical box, and finally disconnecting wires from the old switch.
Step 3: Remove Side Sections (If Necessary)
Diagram Description: Shows different configurations of switches in a multi-gang electrical box, indicating where side sections might need to be removed for ganging. Options shown are 'Not Ganged', 'End of Gang', and 'Middle of Gang'.
Step 4: Connect the Switch
Important Note: Maximum wattage rating is dependent on location in ganging application. See the chart below for maximum load information.

²The maximum lamp wattage is determined by the efficiency of the transformer, with 70%-85% as typical. For actual transformer efficiency, contact either the fixture or transformer manufacturer. The total VA rating of the transformer(s) shall not exceed the VA rating of the in-wall switch.
Wiring Instructions:
- Connect the bare copper (or green) "ground" wire from the wallbox to the green wire on the switch using a wire connector.
- Connect the load wire from the wallbox to the red wire on the switch using a wire connector.
- Connect the hot wire from the wallbox to the black wire on the switch using a wire connector.
- Cap off the blue wire on the switch using the small wire connector.*
*Note: The blue wire is only used in 3-way installations. See www.casetawireless.com/3way for more information.
*Note: A LUT-MLC may be required to ensure proper function with CFL, LED, ELV, and fluorescent lighting. Please see instructions for installing the LUT-MLC that can be found on page 2 of this install guide. The instructions can also be found by visiting www.casetawireless.com/lutmlc.
Diagram Description: Shows the new switch with labeled wires (Green/Ground, Red/Load, Black/Hot, Blue/Cap). It illustrates connecting these wires to the corresponding wires from the wallbox.
Step 5: Mount the Switch
Use the screws provided to mount the switch into the electrical box.
Diagram Description: Shows the switch being secured into the wall box with screws.
Step 6: Attach the Wallplate
Attach the adapter to the switch using the screws provided and snap on the wallplate. (If you installed the switch next to other switches or dimmers, you'll need to install a wallplate with the correct size/number of openings to accommodate all the devices.)
Diagram Description: Illustrates attaching the adapter plate and then snapping the final wallplate into place. A 'snap' sound is indicated.
Step 7: Turn Power On at Circuit Breaker
Diagram Description: Shows a circuit breaker panel with a switch being moved to the 'ON' position.
CAUTION Use only with permanently installed lighting loads or with general purpose fan loads.
Codes
Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
Grounding
When no "grounding means" exist in wallbox, the National Electrical Code (NEC®) allows a control to be installed as a replacement if 1) a nonmetallic, noncombustible faceplate is used with nonmetallic attachment screws or 2) the circuit is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). When installing a control according to these methods, cap or remove green wire before screwing control into wallbox.
