13) In the wall box where you will install SwitchLinc Primary, identify the load wire (usually red). This
is the wire that carries power from the switch to the load.
14) Identify the black traveler wire. If you are unsure, repeat steps 3-6 to measure the voltage and
find the wire measuring 120VAC. This is the wire connected to the line wire in step 7.
Make sure the electricity is turned off before proceeding
15) Connect SwitchLinc Primary black line wire to the wall box black traveler wire with a wire nut (see
Fig. 2)
16) Cap the wall box’s red traveler wire with a wire nut
17) Connect SwitchLinc Primary red load wire to the wall box load wire with a wire nut
18) Connect SwitchLinc Primary white neutral wire to the box neutral wires with a wire nut (see Fig. 3)
19) Connect SwitchLinc Primary bare copper ground wire to the wall box ground wires with a wire nut
(see Fig. 4)
20) Refer to step 6 in Installing SwitchLinc in a Typical 2-Way Circuit to complete installation
Special Treatment for 4- or More-Way Circuits
If your lighting circuit includes more than two switches controlling a single set of lights, those extra
switches will have four wires connected to them. Two of the wires are travelers from the preceding switch,
while the other two are travelers to the next switch in the chain. You will convert the black traveler wires to
line wires and replace the old 4-wire switches with SwitchLinc Secondaries.
