DECORA RTS SWITCH
Mounting Instructions
The special low-voltage bracket is specifi cally designed to mount the Decora RTS wall switch next to an existing Decora light switch with an
electrical box already behind the drywall. This bracket differs from other off the shelf low-voltage brackets because it is offset to one side. This
allows a double gang Decora style cover plate to fi t over both switches without installing a double gang electrical box behind the drywall. It is
also possible to mount this bracket as a stand alone low voltage device.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
NOTE: This bracket is designed for an existing electrical box already behind the sheetrock. If a retrofi t electrical box was used, it is recom-
mended to remove the single gang and replace it with a double gang retrofi t box.
HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERY
1. Remove the screws on the back cover of the RTS Switch.
2. Slide the battery out of its holder by pushing it with a screwdriver.
3. Insert the new battery, maintaining its correct polarity.
NOTE: Do not throw the battery in the trash, but dispose of it properly.
BATTERY LIFE
The RTS Switches are powered by a 3V battery (type 2430) which
provides about 3 years operation assuming 4 operations per day.
When the battery becomes discharged, the control LED no longer
lights up when a command is sent, and the command is not carried
out.

1. Orient the brackets fl at side
against the wall keeping the thin
side closest and centered with the
existing electrical switch box.
2. Align the inside edge of the thin side on
the bracket with the outside edge of the
switch box. Then trace the inside shape (as
shown by the dashed line in the diagram) of
the bracket. (sheetrock not shown for clarity)
3. Cut traced opening into drywall. Be careful
not to make the opening larger than neces-
sary, to ensure a tight fi t. Use dimensions in
diagram below. Do not exceed these dimen-
sions to ensure a proper fi t of the bracket.
4. Insert bracket (as shown)
into hole, keeping the thin
side closest to the existing
switch box, and laying fl at on
drywall.
5. To keep the bracket
in place, bend tabs
90 around drywall, as
tightly as possible.
6. Mount low voltage switch into bracket, with its
edge fl ush against electrical switch box.
7. Finish the installation by
mounting a standard double
gang Decora switch cover plate,
over both switches
