Description
Update your vintage 2-switch GE low voltage light plate unit with these Touchplate four-button control units for a fresh new look. These units are designed with two pairs of buttons that correspond to the two directions on the vintage GE mini rockers or square pushbutton switches - one button/one direction was ON, the other button/direction was OFF. Choose from white, almond, black, or ivory for a stylish solution to refresh your existing low voltage set-up. Each switch station has two pairs of 1/2" square button caps.

Q & A
Will this 4-switch unit fit the box where my current 2-button GE switch wallplate unit is now?
Yes, this unit fits a the same size 1-gang box or 1-gang low voltage mounting ring that the vintage switches were mounted in.
How do the wires connect?
The wires on the switches can be connected to the wiring coming out of the wall using the wire nuts that are probably there now.
Why are there four numbered terminals on the back?
Because the pairs of ON and OFF buttons are separate, you will connect all wires as such: on the first switch attach the current red/ON wire to terminal 1 and the black/OFF wire to terminal 2; on the second switch attach the current red/ON wire to terminal 3 and the black/OFF wire to terminal 4; and the two white commons are combined with a pigtail wire to attach to the Switch Common (SC) terminal. A wiring diagram is included for this easy installation.
