Had succesfull installs of us2-40 single switches... they are great.
Getting ready to install a bunch of 3 way and 4 way switches using the Simply Automated us2-40 base and the usr remote switch. Looked into a few switch boxes and I can identify wiring as follows;
white - common usually wired together pushed in back of box
black power - see it broken / run through the switch to the load such as a light.
and then the other traveler wires coming from the remote 3 ways switches.
?
power from local switch is connected to the remote 3 way switch and the remote switch / then connects a return power wire that connects to the main switch on a "remote point terminal"
I see 2 "remote" connections at the top of the 2-40 and am not sure how this
fits in to the diagram below? they seem to be not explained in the instructions.
so,
Is this correct ? I am not sure if I have this clear and want to wire up my SA 2-40's and remotes in 3 & 4 way replacements.
Is there a better way to *determine the 3 way remote wiring to the 2-40 & usr switch?
I looked at the SA wiring diagram for 3 way and see,
white - common got it.
brown - appears to go to load / light ?
brown/ white - is this the traveler that is switched power form 2-40 ?
red / white - what is this used for ?
after I understand this ... going to 4 way I have a few of those.
Anyone have a good way to get a handle on this / just do not want to
miss the boat since I spent a few buck on these switches and I have some boxes with 3 & 4 switches in each. (below picture from SA site)
Thanks.
