INSTALLATION STEPS

  1. To avoid fire or electrical shock, turn OFF the power at the circuit breaker or fuse. Test that the power is OFF before working.

  2. MOUNT THE SWITCH BOX
    Install a 2 1/2 inch deep single-gang switch box or a 2 inch deep double-gang switch box.

  3. CONNECT WIRING
    General instructions for all configurations: Make sure both the switch box and the appliance are properly grounded. Make sure ground wire is securely fastened to the rocker switch’s ground screw. Tighten ground screw 14 to 16-in. lbs. torque. Remove insulation, approx. 5/8 inch. Use proper wire nut sizes for the number and size of wires. For screw terminals: Use #12 or

    14-AWG solid copper wire only. Tighten screw terminals 14 to 16-inch lbs.

    torque. For 3-rocker units: Strip wires to the length of strip gauge on the back of the switch. Connect wires per the FIGURE #3 wiring diagram. For 2 rocker units: Connect wires per either the FIGURE #1 wiring diagram (two single pole switches on the same circuit) or the FIGURE #2 wiring diagram (two single pole switches on separate circuits). With either method, each single pole switch controls an independent function.
    NOTE: For separate feed (FIGURE #2) operation only: The break-off tab located between the black screws should be removed before wiring. Using a standard slotted screwdriver, move the screwdriver up and down in the vertical direction until the tab breaks off.

  4. MOUNT ROCKER SWITCH IN SWITCH BOX
    Tuck wires into the switch box and fasten the rocker switch to the box using attached screws.

  5. ATTACH SWITCH PLATE
    Fasten a switch plate (not included) to the rocker switch
