Applications
The PLS530A/PLS531A switch can be used in a single-pole or 3-way
installation with the following types of lighting:
• Incandescent
• Halogen
• Low-voltage halogen with transformer
• Fluorescent
The PLS530A/PLS531A switch cannot be used with a load below 40 W,
a load above 500 W or a motor.
Installation
Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.

label the wire that is connected to the "common" screw.)
Install the new switch (refer to the appropriate section below).
Apply power at the circuit breaker.
NOTE A:
The white wire is not the neutral wire but the wire going to the load.

The jumper wire is not required in this installation. A single-pole switch
can be used as the other switch in a 3-way installation.
Power-On
Pry the switch door open from the
bottom using a small screwdriver.
Ensure the ON/OFF selector is set to
ON.
Reset the switch using a paper clip.
0:00 and MO will flash.
If the display is blank:
•
Ensure the ON/OFF selector is prop-
erly engaged in the ON position. Push it to the right using a small
screwdriver.
•
If the programmable switch controls a lamp equipped with a built-in
On/Off switch, ensure the lamp switch is set to On.
•
Ensure the light bulb is not burned out and is tightly screwed in its socket.
EXISTING 3-WAY INSTALLATION
If either switch does not work properly, rewire the jumper between the
"common" screw and the other screw.
WARNING: Before replacing the light bulb, place the ON/OFF selector in
the OFF position. Failure to do so might damage the switch.
