Installing the low-voltage 3-button switch (standard)

The Stewart Filmscreen low-voltage control allows the use of low-voltage wire to connect to the supplied 3-position 24V momentary wall switch.

Preparing the connection

Before making the electrical connections, you need:

KAn available 120V AC constant power source

KA 4-conductor switch hook-up cable (4-conductor bell wire or category 5 cable is typically used for long runs)
