1. Before installing the Budderfly RF Multi-Way Switch, make sure that a Budderfly RF plug will be installed within a distance
of 30 Feet.
2. At the circuit breaker or fuse panel, disconnect the power for all of the circuits in the switch junction box.
3. Double check that the power is OFF to the switch box before continuing by trying to turn on the controlled load.
4. Remove the wall plate from the switch you are replacing. Then, unscrew the switch itself and pull it out from the junction
box.
5. Disconnect the wires from the switch you are replacing.
6. Follow the wiring information provided below to connect the wires as follows:
x Connect the GROUND wire (usually Bare Copper or Green) to the Ground wire of Budderfly Switch (Yellow &
Green).
x 2-Way configuration:
o Connect the LOAD wire (usually Black) that goes to the light to the Traveler#1 (Red) wire of Budderfly Switch.
x 3-Way configuration:
o Connect the Traveler#1 (Usually Red) and Traveler#2 (Usually Blue) wires of the Standard Multi-Way Switch
to the Traveler#1 (Red) and Traveler#2 (Blue) wires of Budderfly Switch respectively.
o Connect the LOAD wire (usually Black) that goes to the light to the LOAD wire (usually Black) of the Standard
Multi-Way Switch.
x Connect the LINE wire (usually Black) that comes from the electrical service panel to the HOT wire of Budderfly
Switch (Black).
x Connect the NEUTRAL wire (usually White) to the Neutral wire of Budderfly Switch (White).
7. After you have connected all of the wires, ensure that all of the wire connectors are firmly attached and that there is no
exposed copper except for the GROUND wire.
8. Gently place Budderfly Switch into the junction box, orienting the unit with the LED bar on the left. Then, screw the switch
into place.
Wiring Information
x Important: Budderfly Switch is rated for and intended to only be used
with copper wire.
x Use 12 AWG or larger wires suitable for 80o.
x Remove 3/4" (1.9 cm) of insulation from each wire.
x Connect as follows: Twist strands of each end tightly together. Hold bare
ends of wires together and push firmly into wire Nut. Screw Nut
clockwise making sure that no bare conductor shows below the
connector.
9. Place the batteries in the battery compartment as shown in the following three steps:
a. Remove the rocker
b. Insert the batteries as shown in the picture
c. Put the rocker back on
10. Reinstall the wall plate
