5)
Ensure that all wire connectors are firmly attached and that there is no exposed copper except for
the Ground wire.
6)
Orient ToggleLinc with the LED bar at the bottom, gently place it into the junction box and screw it
into place.
7)
Enable power to the switch from the circuit breaker or fuse panel.
8)
Test that ToggleLinc is working properly by using the switch to turn the light on and off.
9)
Reinstall the faceplate.
Note: the Neutral wire will not normally be connected to the switch you are replacing. If there is no
Neutral wire in the box, consult an electrician or call the INSTEON Support Line at 1-800-762-7845.
Understanding Multi-Way Circuits
If more than one switch controls a single set of lights (or load), the switches are part of a multi-way circuit.
A 3-way uses two switches to control one load, a 4-way circuit uses three switches and so on. Most
homes have one or more 3-way circuits, such as two switches located on opposite ends of hallways or at
two different entrances to a room. Circuits that are 4- or more-way are less common. Here is how a
typical wired-in 3-way circuit (with two switches) works:
