4.11 Install Redwood Wall Switches
A Redwood Wall Switch is an optional component. The Redwood Dimmer Wall Switch allows users to
adjust light levels. The Redwood Scene Control Wall Switch allows users to select preconfigured scenes
and override light levels.
The switch does not physically connect to a fixture, but you should place it near the
lights that it controls. The fixtures that each switch controls are determined during the
commissioning phase. Wiring from the Engine to the Redwood Wall Switch must
comply with NEC Class 2 requirements.
• Cut or use an existing standard-sized wall-plate opening for a NEMA
standard, OTS switch box.
• Remove the front plate from the Redwood Wall Switch by gently pulling it
from the housing. You can do this without tools.
• If you are using 18 AWG cable, strip the end of the 18 AWG cable by ¼"
(0.6cm). Insert the end of the wire into the wall switch’s screw terminal, and
tighten to a torque of 2.5 in-lbf (0.28 Nm). The adjacent images show the
positive terminal location for each switch. Note: this option is available for
both the Dimmer Wall Switch and the Scene Control Wall Switch.
• If you are using T568A or T568B straight through or crossover cable,
connect the RJ45 connector. Note: this option is only available for the Scene
Control Wall Switch.
• Screw the Redwood Wall Switch back plate into the switch box, and snap on
the switch’s front plate.
For detailed instructions, see the respective installation guide for the Redwood Dimmer Wall Switch or
Redwood Scene Control Wall Switch.
4.12 Install Redwood Universal Gateway – Outage Relay
The Redwood Universal Gateway — Outage Relay can be used in conjunction with a dry contact relay to
communicate the system health of a Redwood Engine. Designed for applications that require a load to be
switched on during a loss of normal power or an Engine failure, the relay can activate a system in the
specific area(s) served by the Engine.
Once you have determined the location for all load devices and Redwood Engines, the dry contact relays
and Universal Gateways can be installed near the load, near the Engine, or a centralized location such as
the electrical room, near the breaker panel.
See detailed instructions in the corresponding Redwood Universal Gateway – Outage Relay Installation
Guide.
