Regulatory Compliance
FCC Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Operation with non-approved equipment is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user
is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To satisfy RF exposure requirements, this device and its antennas must operate with a separation distance of at
least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

Wiring the EcoSwitch
1. Turn the power off at the circuit breaker.
2. Unmount the existing switch cover plate.
3. Unmount the existing switch from the junction box.
4. Use the voltmeter to verify the power is off.
5. Disconnect the existing switch from its wiring.
6. Use the table below to determine which wires are the 120V LINE, GROUND, and NEUTRAL IN from the –
breaker panel.
7. Use the table below to determine which wires are the LOAD and NEUTRAL OUT wires to control the
light fixture.
Function
Term
Commonly Used Wire Color
120V In From Breaker Panel
LINE
Black
Out to Fixture
LOAD

Neutral From Breaker Panel
NEUTRAL IN
White
Neutral to Fixture
NEUTRAL OUT
White
Ground
GROUND
Green
Some junction boxes may only have one neutral wire.
If there are no neutral wires, the EcoSwitch will not
function. Discontinue installation.
8. Label the wires appropriately.
9. Connect the LINE wire from the wall to the black wire on the EcoSwitch.
10. Connect the GROUND wire from the wall to the green GROUND wire on the EcoSwitch.
11. Connect the LOAD wire leading to the fixture to the red wire on the EcoSwitch.
12. Connect the NEUTRAL IN wire from the breaker panel to the white NEUTRAL IN wire on the EcoSwitch.
13. Connect the NEUTRAL OUT wire leading to the fixture to the white NEUTRAL OUT wire on the
EcoSwitch.
If only one neutral wire exists, connect the NEUTRAL
IN wire on the EcoSwitch to the NEUTRAL IN wire
coming from the breaker panel. Cap the NEUTRAL
OUT wire coming from the EcoSwitch.
Alternatively, both the NEUTRAL IN and the NEUTRAL
OUT wires from the EcoSwitch can be connected to
the NEUTRAL IN wire from the breaker panel.
With only one neutral wire, the EcoSwitch will not be
able to report power or current. The EcoSwitch will
only report Voltage.

14. Verify all wire connections. The wires should now look like Figure 1. If only one Neutral connection was
available, the wires will look like Figure 2.

15. Turn the power on at the circuit breaker.
16. Press the switch once.
17. Verify the switch clicks and the light fixture turns on.
18. Press the switch once.
19. Verify the switch clicks and the light fixture turns off.
20. Turn the power off at the circuit breaker.
21. Mount the EcoSwitch into the junction box.
22. Mount the switch cover plate.
23. Turn the power on at the circuit breaker.
24. Wiring is complete. Complete either of the two following association sections depending on the
thermostat installed in the room.

Associating the EcoSwitch with an EcoInsight
Connect the EcoSwitch to the ZigBee Network
1. Determine which EcoConnect will provide the ZigBee network for the EcoSwitch. The same EcoConnect
must be used for both the EcoInsight and the EcoSwitch.
2. Activate joining on the EcoConnect using the EcoCentral Virtual Engineer web interface or by pressing
the recessed button on the EcoConnect’s front plate. The green LED on the front of the EcoConnect
should blink green.
3. Press and hold the EcoSwitch for 10 seconds.
4. Verify the green LED on the EcoSwitch rapidly blinks green. If it does not blink or rapidly blinks red, see
“Issues Connecting the EcoSwitch to the ZigBee Network” in Troubleshooting on page 8.
Associate the EcoSwitch with the EcoInsight
5. Press the right-most button beneath the display on the EcoInsight six times.
6. Verify the EcoInsight shows “Learn” in the upper right-hand corner. See Figure 3.
Figure 3: Learn Mode on the EcoInsight
7. Press and hold the EcoSwitch for 5 seconds.
8. Verify the green LED on the EcoSwitch rapidly blinks green. If it does not blink or rapidly blinks red, see
“Issues Associating the EcoSwitch with the Thermostat” in Troubleshooting on page 8.
