- Connecteu els cables de càrrega: Connect the two outgoing hot (usually black) wires leading to the fixture or appliance to the two 'LOAD' terminals on the switch. Tighten screws firmly.
- Muntar l'interruptor: Carefully fold the wires into the electrical box, leaving enough room for the switch. Secure the switch to the electrical box using the provided mounting screws.
- Instal·leu la placa de paret: Attach the wall plate over the switch.
- Restaura l'alimentació: Turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Test the switch to ensure proper operation.
