Description
Freshen up your midcentury 3-switch GE low voltage light switch plate unit with this Touch Plate Classic six-button control unit for an updated look. These units are designed with three pairs of buttons that correspond to the alternate directions on the vintage GE mini rockers or square pushbutton switches - top button/up direction was ON, the lower button/down direction was OFF. Choose from white, almond, or ivory for a stylish solution to refresh your existing low voltage set-up. Each switch station has three pairs of 1/2" square button caps.

Q & A
Will this 6-button unit fit the box where my current 3-button GE switch plate unit is now?
Yes, this unit fits a the same size 1-gang box or 1-gang low voltage mounting ring that the old switches were mounted in.
How do the wires connect?
The wires on the switches can be connected using wire nuts to connect to the wiring coming out of the wall.
Why are there six 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; on the third switch attach the current red/ON wire to terminal 5 and the black/OFF wire to terminal 6; and the three white commons are wired with a pigtail to attach to the Switch Common (SC) terminal. A wiring diagram is included for this easy installation.
