INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
• Turn OFF circuit breaker or remove fuse(s)
and test that power is off before wiring.
• Never wire any electrical device with power turned on. Wiring
Switch with power on may cause permanent damage to Switch
and void warranty.
• If you are not sure about any part of these
instructions, please contact a licensed
electrician.
IMPORTANT:
RF Switch will not work or will become damaged if wired incorrectly,
and warranty will be voided. Refer to wiring instructions provided on
reverse side.
CAUTION:
1. Use only with 120V AC 60 Hz.
2. Do not exceed maximum rating of the switch as indicated on
the device.
3. Must be installed and used in accordance with
electrical codes.
4. If a bare copper or green ground connection is not
available in the wallbox, contact a licensed electrician
for installation.
5. Use only #14 or #12 copper wire rated for at least
75°C with these devices. Do not use with Aluminum
wire.
NOTES:
1. The RF Master Switch is wired directly to the light fixture.
2. The RF Smart Switch is not compatible with standard 3-
way switches.
3. For Multi-location applications (3-Way or 4-Way) the RF
Smart Accessory Switch (RF9617) or a regular toggle switch
could be used along with one RF Master Switch.
4. The RF Accessory Switch communicates via RF signals to
control the light from more than one location.
5. For multi-location control use RF Smart Dimmer Master
direct wired to the light along with RF Accessory (RF9642-
Z). The RF Accessory does not require direct
connection to the light (use Association function).
Z-Wave Device Network Installation Instructions
1. This product may be added to a new or existing Z-Wave
network. An Eaton Wiring Devices Z-Wave device has a blue
LED, which will blink when the device is not included in a Z-

2.To include this device in a Z-Wave network, select the command
on your Z Wave controller for inclusion (Install, Add Device, Add
Node, Include Device, etc.). Then press the device switch one
time to include it in the network.
3.Based on the controller, the controller may ask to scan the QR
code or manually enter 5 digit code under the QR
code to install the device as a secured device
4. After the device is added to the network, the LED
will stop blinking.
5.To exclude this device from a Z-Wave network,
select the command on your Z-Wave controller for exclusion
(Uninstall, Remove Device, Remove Node, Exclude Device, etc.).
Then press the device switch one time to exclude it from the
network. The LED will start blinking.
6. This product works with other Z-Wave products from different
vendors and product categories as part of the same network.
