NOTE FOR 3-WIRE SYSTEMS: Upgrading a 3-wire system such as Remcon, GE or Bryant? This switch won't work. You must double the number of switches on those systems, so if you have a 1-switch unit, change to a 2-switch Touch-Plate.
Q & A
Q. I'm updating my Remcon switches and understand that my new Touchplate controls must have two new switches for every old Remcon one. But if that is the case, how would someone use a 1-button Touch Plate switch?
A. The 1-button Touch Plate light switches are designed for Touch Plate low voltage systems which use a 2-wire setup (and where the same button can control one light by being alternately pressed to turn the light on or off). In contrast, Remcon controls are based on a 3-wire system, so when adapting them during an upgrade, you double the number of switches you were using so that one button turns the light on and the other turns it off.
