For ease of installation, manufacturer recommends use of a deep wall box.
1. Prepare the switch box.
After the power is turned OFF at the circuit breaker box, remove the
existing wall plate and mounting screws. Pull the old switch out from
the wall box.
2. Identify the type of circuit.
The TDR can only be used in conjunction with a Touch Dimmer or Touch Fan Speed Control on 3-way/multi-way circuits.
In a 3-way circuit (Fig. 2) two traveler wires connect to both switches. Another wire provides power from the circuit box to one of the
switches. A wire connects from one switch to the load. A ground wire may also be connected to a ground terminal on the old switches.
Caution – For your safety: Connecting a proper ground wire to the dimmer provides protection against electrical shock in the event of
certain fault conditions. If a proper ground is not available, consult with a qualified electrician before continuing installation.
3. Prepare the Wires.
Tag the wires currently connected to the existing
switch so that they can be identified later. Disconnect
the wires. Make sure the insulation is stripped off of
the wires to expose their copper cores to the length
indicated by the "Strip Gage" in Fig. 3. (approx. ½
inch).
4. Wire the Touch Remote.
The wiring diagrams that follow are for the Touch
Remote only. When connecting the Touch Remote to
a Touch Dimmer or Fan Speed Control, refer to that
device's specific installation instructions.

a. 3-Way/Multi-Way Wiring (Fig. 4)
NOTE: In a 3-way/multi-way circuit the TDR must be
used in conjunction with the TDR-603, TDA-603,
or TDFC-1A. The TDR does not work if used in
conjunction with standard 3-way/4-way switches.
• Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND
wire from the circuit to the green wire on the Touch
Remote. The TDR requires a ground. Be sure to verify
the ground connection.
• Connect the yellow traveler wire from the Touch
Dimmer or Fan Speed Control to the gold terminal on
the Touch Remote.
b. Three or More Locations (Fig. 5)
• Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND
wire from the circuit to the green wire on the Touch Remote.
The TDR requires a ground. Be sure to verify the ground
connection.
• Connect the yellow traveler wire from the Touch Dimmer or Fan
Speed Control to all the Touch Remotes.
5. Put all the new switches into their wall boxes. Position the
Touch Remote with the word TOP in the correct orientation. Use
the captive screws on the mounting strap to secure the Touch
Remote to its wall box.
6. Restore power to the circuit. Turn on the breaker or replace the
fuse.
7. Attach the cover plates.
