Q & A
Q. My old GE switches are mounted in a strap. Do I need a new strap for these?
A. No, these new switches do not require a strap (unless using with bracket mount plates) because they will just push right into the front of the New Style Switch Plates and snap into place.
Q. Can I use these new switches with my old ladder strap?
A. No. Do not try to install these switches in an old strap with openings for 1, 2, or 3 switches. These new switches are slightly larger than the old rocker switches and may be damaged if you try to jam them into an old strap. The buttons can become stuck because the housing will be pinching too tightly against the strap.
Q. Is this a 3 way GE low voltage push button switch?
A. Yes, any low voltage switch can be wired as a 3 way switch. You will wire the switch in parallel to the relay it is controlling. So for that reason, you could have an unlimited number of switches controlling the same light. The relay just responds when receiving a signal from the switch.
