Wiring the EcoSwitch
1. Turn the power off at the circuit breaker.
2. Unmount the existing switch cover plate.
3. Unmount the existing switch from the junction box.
4. Use the voltmeter to verify the power is off.
5. Disconnect the existing switch from its wiring.
6. Use the table below to determine which wires are the 120V LINE, GROUND, and NEUTRAL IN from the –
breaker panel.
7. Use the table below to determine which wires are the LOAD and NEUTRAL OUT wires to control the
light fixture.

Some junction boxes may only have one neutral wire.
If there are no neutral wires, the EcoSwitch will not
function. Discontinue installation.
8. Label the wires appropriately.
9. Connect the LINE wire from the wall to the black wire on the EcoSwitch.
10. Connect the GROUND wire from the wall to the green GROUND wire on the EcoSwitch.
11. Connect the LOAD wire leading to the fixture to the red wire on the EcoSwitch.
12. Connect the NEUTRAL IN wire from the breaker panel to the white NEUTRAL IN wire on the EcoSwitch.
13. Connect the NEUTRAL OUT wire leading to the fixture to the white NEUTRAL OUT wire on the
EcoSwitch.
If only one neutral wire exists, connect the NEUTRAL
IN wire on the EcoSwitch to the NEUTRAL IN wire
coming from the breaker panel. Cap the NEUTRAL
OUT wire coming from the EcoSwitch.
Alternatively, both the NEUTRAL IN and the NEUTRAL
OUT wires from the EcoSwitch can be connected to
the NEUTRAL IN wire from the breaker panel.
With only one neutral wire, the EcoSwitch will not be
able to report power or current. The EcoSwitch will
only report Voltage.
