Installation Engineering Checklist:
- ■ "Common" Terminal Protocol: Identify the distinct black-colored common terminal screw. This terminal must be connected to either the Hot line or the Load.
- ■ Traveler Wire Management: Maintain consistent color-coding (Red/Black) for traveler wires across both 3-way switches to ensure straightforward troubleshooting.
- ■ Self-Grounding Clip: Includes an integrated self-grounding clip for rapid installation in metal enclosures, maintaining full CEC/UL safety compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a 3-way switch for single-pole applications?
Yes. By connecting to the common terminal and only one traveler terminal, a 3-way switch can function as a standard single-location switch.
Does it matter which way is "UP" during installation?
In a 3-way configuration, the On/Off state depends on the other switch in the circuit. There is no fixed "Up for On" in standardized 3-way setups.
Is it compatible with 12 AWG wiring?
Yes. The side-wiring terminals are designed to accommodate up to 12 AWG solid copper wire, although the 14AWG push-in ports are limited to 14AWG only.
