Q: How does it work?
A: Inside the switch there is a magnetic coil and when the switch rocker is pressed it creates enough energy to send a radio signal to the receiver. The built-in receiver is wired to the light and stored in the light fixture. If the receiver is a plug-in module then it is simply plugged into an outlet and the device it controls is plugged into the receiver.
Q: Can I mix these wireless devices with existing hardwire switches?
A: We do not recommend mixing the hard wired switches with wireless switches within the same circuit. Doing so could result in an open circuit or power loss to the receiver if the hard wired switch were to be accidentally turned off. Most customers will removed the hardwired switch and bypass the wires so power cannot be interrupted to the receiver. This is known as powering in the “On position”. The other wireless light switch(es) could be placed within range of their desired location.
Q: Can I install a 3 or 4-Way switch with this product?
A:Yes. Battery-free Wireless switches are great for 3-way and 4-way switch applications. The relay receiver provides the flexibility to configure and use up to 30 switches that are within range.
