Safety Notice

Before installing, servicing or removing the switch, read and follow all safety precautions including the following:

  • CAUTION – Risk of Electric Shock – More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing. A circuit breaker which disconnects the Line and Neutral conductor simultaneously is suitable. Ensure power is off at the circuit breaker before removing or installing any switch. Use a noncontact voltage tester to ensure the power is off.
  • The Smart Switch must be installed and used in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) or your local electrical code. If you are unfamiliar with these codes and requirements, or are uncomfortable performing the installation, consult a qualified electrician.
  • Do not install the Smart Switch with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surfaces.
  • Install only in a suitable UL Listed outlet box (suitable dimensions: H > 2.95 in./75 mm, W > 1.81 in./46 mm, D > 2 in./51 mm).
  • Tighten terminal screws to 13 lbf-in.
