Top 20 Cooper Wiring Devices Cooper Decorator Lighted Decorator Switch Questions & Answers

The first thing you should learn about three way switches is how they work. Once you know how they work they are so much easier to wire. First: All neutrals (usually white) are tied together, which means the light bulb always has a way to return the current to the source (a complete circuit). Second: The hot (usually black and red) is what is opened or closed by the three way switches. The main mistake when wiring a 3 way switch is not to tie the common to the power source on switch one and not to tie the lamp black wire to the common on switch two. Notice that in the position above the lamp will be off. If you move the toggle down on the first switch then the power will be connected all the way through the the black wires to the lamp. If you move the toggle up on the second switch then the power will be connected to the lamp via the red wire. Either switch can then make or break the connection that allows the power to flow through to the lamp. There are also variations of this configuration when the power is supplied to the lamp first. or if the power is supplied to switch two, but the principle is the same. In both of the later cases you must use the white wire to carry power or the hot leg and is not the preferred method, but is approved by the NEC. Typically, when this is done it is common to place a black piece of tape on the white wire to make you aware that the white wire might be hot. If you need the schematic for these variations, feel free to comment and I will be happy to create them. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/bob_62dfa2f81bb55288

The internal light inside the switch should not pulse or flash.

You can do that from the 3-way switch that has the hot and neutral wire (the line side switch)... connect black to black and white to white.... otherwise if neither switch has both hot and neutral, then you cannot get 120V Open following links for illustrations: http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-add-outlet.html http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-switches.html#3-way Gene If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

This is the Cooper product #6107; Standard Series Occupancy Sensor, 3-Way, 500W/400W, Incandescent, Halogen, Fluorescent Rapid Start Ballast. Do NOT use to control light fixtures with CFL or LED lamps! Connect this switch by using the diagram for the #6107 Single-Pole or 3-Way (match your existing switch) linked below. https://objects.eanixter.com/PD365967.PDF

Hi Dave, Great description, but you never mentioned what you are using the switch for. I can explain in detail, but I need to know if the switch load is coming from the same cable or an additional one.

Remove the two sensors. If they are connected to your lighting on the same circuit you may need to replace then with '3-Way Switches'. Also see this warning: http://www.saferproducts.gov/ViewIncident/1232148

The switch is in series with the power and the pump motor. If the switch is across the power it will do what you state blow the fuse. It is also possible the pump motor is bad. I am assuming this happened when you changed the switch and the motor is OK.

A single pole switch/dimmer will have two black terminal wires. Power in on one and switch leg out on the other.

How to wire switches

You have to hook up the ground wire or the light will not go off

Choose the wiring option that suits your needs from the Cooper wiring sheet. http://www.cooperindustries.com/content/dam/public/wiringdevices/products/documents/instruction_sheets/ri06p_ri06pl_ri061_ri306p_ri306pl_ri101_instructions.pdf

if outlets are equipped wit tamper proofing(little white thing inside of holes),yes ,you will need to push them in a little harder then normal- designed so a child can not easily insert anything

This one's an easy one. If you're comfortable doing this yourself, great, if not, I'd strongly recommend getting some help with it, though. No need to get injured or killed over this. If you and your friends aren't comfortable working with electricity, be safe and call an electrician. It'll only take him or her about 30 minutes and $70 in materials to do this for you.

First, locate and turn off the breaker feeding that 240V outlet. Put a piece of black tape over it and tell the whole family to make sure noone turns it back on. Take the cover off of the existing outlet and use a voltmeter to verify that it's dead. Now, take the screws out of the outlet so you can pull it out from the wall and disconnect the wires from it. There should be a black wire, a white wire and a bare wire. If not, let me know. Now go to your local Lowes, Home Depot, or other DIY store and pick up a NEMA 5-20R GFCI outlet. It'll look like all of the other outlets in your house, but it will have "extra" sideways slots in the middle of the tall neutral slot. This outlet is designed to handle higher amperage loads and some larger air conditioners will require it. Connect the black wire to the gold-colored screw on one side and the white wire to the silver colored screw on the other side. Connect the green or bare copper ground to the green or silver screw on the top. Put a couple wraps of black tape around the outlet and put it in the wall with the cover.

Now, back to that 2-pole breaker...you'll need to replace it with an inexpensive 15A breaker (to fill an empty slot and prevent someone from putting fingers where they don't belong) and a 20A AFCI breaker. Yeah, they're expensive as heck, but assuming this is in a living space, they're required by code and will help protect your family againsta fire. Make sure to install it as per the instructions it will come with. Assuming this is wired to Romex wire, you'll need to connect the white wire to the neutral bus (the bar full of screws where most of the other white wires are connected) and connect the black wire to the new 20A AFCI breaker.

Now, if you've wired it all correctly, you'll flip the breaker and it won't trip. (If it does, go through your connections and make sure nothing is shorted out. If you still have a problem, play it safe and call an electrician.) Go to the outlet hit the test and reset buttons a few times to make sure if functions correctly and you're good to go.

Hope that helps.
