WARNING — SHOCK HAZARD
Turn OFF the power to the branch circuit for the switch and lighting fixture

this installation, consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT!
3-way switches can be wired in different ways. These instructions explain the
most common method. If you have difficulty with the instructions or your home
wiring, contact a licensed electrician for assistance.
- Shut off power to the circuit at circuit breaker or fuse box. IMPORTANT! Verify power is OFF to switch box before continuing.
- Remove both wallplates.
- Remove the switch mounting screws.
- Carefully remove the switch from each switch box location. DO NOT disconnect the wires yet.
- Identify switch connected to fuse box. This is the line switch. Label wire connected to common terminal “LINE.
- Identify switch connected to lighting/fixture. This is the load switch. Label wire connected to common terminal “LOAD.”
Observe important wiring information
IMPORTANT! This add-on switch is rated for and intended to only be used
with copper wire.
Wire gauge requirements
Use 14AWG or larger wires suitable for at least 80° C for supplying line,
load, neutral, ground and traveler connections.
Wire strip length
- For attachment to screw terminals, strip insulation 1in. (25mm).
- For attachment using the enclosure’s holes, strip insulation 5/8in. (16mm).
- UL specifies tightening torque for the screws is 14Kgf-cm (12lbf-in).
Switch connected to fuse box line switch (Replacing standard switch with Jasco primary switch)

- Locate jumper wire. Connect with neutral wires and secure with wire nut (A).
- Connect opposite end of jumper wire to the NEUTRAL terminal on primary switch (B).
- Connect wire labeled “LINE” to LINE terminal on primary switch (C).
- Connect ground wire (bare/copper/green) to GROUND terminal on primary switch (D).
- Connect one of the two remaining wires (T1) to the LOAD terminal on primary switch (E). Write down the color of the wire. You will need this when installing the add-on switch.
