SwitchLinc Primary’s red LOAD wire.

Special Treatment for Four- 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 and the other two are TRAVELERS to the next switch in the chain. You will be converting the
black TRAVELER wires to LINE wires and replacing the old four-wire switches with SwitchLinc
Secondaries.

1. Connect the SwitchLinc Secondary’s LINE Wire. Use a wire nut to connect both black

TRAVELER wires to the SwitchLinc Primary’s black LINE wire.

2. Cap the Two Unused TRAVELERS. The other two TRAVELER wires, usually red, will not be used,

so put wire nuts on the ends of them.

3. Cap the red LOAD wire from the SwitchLinc Secondary. Put a wire nut on the end of the

SwitchLinc Secondary’s LOAD wire to ensure that it won’t connect to anything.

4. Connect the SwitchLinc Secondary’s NEUTRAL and GROUND Wires. Use the same instructions

given previously in Steps 5 and 6.
