Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (North America only)
- Line: usually black (may also be called hot, live or power), carries 120VAC electricity into the wall box
- Neutral: usually white or white wire bundle, commonly daisy-chained from box to box
- Load: usually black, from a separate cable jacket
- Ground: bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (Europe/Australia/New Zealand)
- As wire colors vary from country to country, make sure you always check your electrical wires with a voltage meter to
correctly identify line, load, neutral and ground wires
- If you have any questions, consult an electrician or your electricity supplier to learn more about your country’s wiring colors
and labels
IMPORTANT!
If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with,
electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install the product for you.
Identify Switch Type
Before you install Micro module behind a switch, you must determine which switch operation mode applies to your
switch—latching, single momentary or dual momentary—as each is wired differently:
• Latching (default mode): Switch has no central position. It can be tapped on both the top and bottom and
remains in that state once released.
• Single momentary: Switch can only be tapped in one location. It returns to central position once released.
• Dual momentary: Switch can be tapped on both the top and bottom. It returns to central position once
released.
Once you have identified your switch type, install Micro module according to the corresponding wiring diagram, then
see “Switch Operation Mode” to program Micro module for your specific switch type.
Note: If you are installing Micro module behind a wall outlet or in a fixture, switch operation mode does not apply.
