stepsforbothconfigurationsareexplainedinthefollowingdiagrams:
2ͲWayConfiguration:
3ͲWayConfiguration:
1. Atthecircuitbreakerorfusepanel,disconnectthepowerforallofthecircuitsin
theswitchjunctionbox.
2. DoubleCheckthatthepowerisOFFtotheswitchboxbeforecontinuingby
tryingtoturnonthecontrolledload.
3. Removethewallplatefromtheswitchyouarereplacing.Then,unscrewthe
switchitselfandpullitoutfromthejunctionbox.
4. Disconnectthewiresfromtheswitchyouarereplacing.
5. Followthewiringinformationprovidedbelowtoconnectthewiresasfollows:
oConnecttheGROUNDwire(usuallyBareCopperorGreen)totheGroundwire
ofBudderflySwitch(Yellow&Green).
o2ͲWayconfiguration:
ConnecttheLOADwire(usuallyBlack)thatgoestothelighttothe
Traveler#1(Red)wireofBudderflySwitch.
o3ͲWayconfiguration:
ConnecttheTraveler#1(UsuallyRed)andTraveler#2(UsuallyBlue)wires
oftheStandardMultiͲWaySwitchtotheTraveler#1(Red)andTraveler#2
(Blue)wiresofBudderflySwitchrespectively.
ConnecttheLOADwire(usuallyBlack)thatgoestothelighttotheLOAD
wire(usuallyBlack)oftheStandardMultiͲWaySwitch.
oConnecttheLINEwire(usuallyBlack)thatcomesfromtheelectricalservice
paneltotheHOTwireofBudderflySwitch(Black).
oConnecttheNEUTRALwire(usuallyWhite)totheNeutralwireofBudderfly
Switch(White).
6. Afteryouhaveconnectedallofthewires,ensurethatallofthewireconnectors
arefirmlyattachedandthatthereisnoexposedcopperexceptfortheGROUND
wire.
7. GentlyplaceBudderflyswitchintothejunctionbox,orientingtheunitwiththe
LEDbarontheleft.Then,screwtheswitchintoplace.
8. Reinstallthewallplate
9. Enablepowertotheswitchfromthecircuitbreakerorfusepanel
10. AfterthePowerLEDcomeson,testthattheswitchisworkingproperlyby
turningthelightonandoff
11. AddthedeviceaddresstotheBudderflywebapplication.
