Interpreting Redlined Plans
See Planning and Preparation for more details on redlined plans.
Mounting Switches onto the Wall
After the walls are painted, switches can be mounted wherever the homebuyer needs them. Switches can go on any surface: drywall/sheetrock, brick, glass, concrete, etc.
1. Create multi-gang switches by snapping two or more switches together as shown (2-, 3-, or 4-gang).
2. Switches are mounted with drywall/sheetrock anchor screws. Single-gang switches use two screws (one on the top and bottom). Multi-gang switches use four screws (one on each corner).
3. With a screwdriver, gently screw the screws into the wall to secure the switch.
4. Finish the installation with a screwless snap-on Levven wall plate.
Levven recommends using the SWI-JIG switch installation jig to speed up your work.
Using the SWI-JIG, you should be able to install Levven Quick-Mount Switches (CSQW) in 60 seconds or less:
- Use the SWI-JIG installation jig to place holes in the sheetrock.
- Tap the provided wall anchors into the holes.
- Use the provided screws to secure the switch to the anchor.
- Install the trim plate (or give the trim plates over as per instructions in the Building With Levven Guide)
Builder Change Orders
Change orders are a common occurrence in home building. If a Builder or homebuyer wants to add more controllers, do not take controllers or switches from another Quick Kit. Those parts have already been configured for another installation.
Taking controllers out of other Quick Kits causes more work later.
Your purchaser will have ordered additional stock from Levven to address potential changes. Ensure your truck is stocked with several spare units to handle unexpected change orders.
Clear the Extra Controllers
It's possible that your spare controllers are joined to another controller group. Connect each of the spares to power and reset their memory before using them in your current installation.
1. To factory reset a controller, energize the controller then press and hold the pairing button for 10 seconds.
2. The LED will blink red after 5 seconds. Keep holding until the 10-second mark, when the LED will blink red once again, confirming the controller has been successfully reset to factory settings.
For a guided demonstration, refer to the video below
Using Extra Controllers to Complete an Installation
Once the extra controllers have been reset, they can be added to the Home Group manually.
Adding Extra Controllers to Home Group
1. Energize one of the extra controllers by connecting to power or by using the Levven CTKL2 'Plug N Pair' wiring kit.
Using a pen, press and release the "Existing Group" controller's pairing button once. This initiates the grouping process. The controller’s LED will blink green.
2. Energize the new controller. Press and release the pairing button on the "New Addition" controller being added to the group. This controller’s LED will blink green.
3. The LED on both controllers will start blinking red and green to confirm their group/pairing signals have been successfully exchanged.
4. Press and release the pairing button on the first controller one final time to complete the grouping process. The LED on both controllers will flash green to confirm the grouping.
For a guided demonstration, refer to the video below
Pair Switches to the New Controller
Once the controller has been added to the controller group, you can pair one or more switches to it. A controller can be paired with up to 10 different switches that signals to the controller to turn on, off, or dim.
1. Energize the controller by connecting to power or by using the Levven CTKL2 'Plug N Pair' wiring kit. Using a pen, press and release the controller’s pairing button. This controller’s LED will blink green to indicate it is waiting for a pairing signal.
2. Squeeze and release both ends of the unpaired switch simultaneously to transmit a pairing signal.
3. The LED on the controller will blink red and green to confirm the signal was received. If the LED does not blink red and green, squeeze the ends of the switch again to transmit a pairing signal.
4. When the LED is blinking red/green, press and release the pairing button on the controller to confirm the pairing. The LED will flash green to show the pairing completed successfully.
For a guided demonstration, refer to the video below
Reset Any Unused Controllers
There may be more power controllers than required for an installation. Extra controllers must be reset before being stored in inventory for later use. Doing a factory reset on a controller erases its group/pairing data. The reset controllers can be used in a different installation.
How to Reset a Controller
1. To factory reset a controller, energize the controller, then press and hold the pairing button for 10 seconds.
2. The LED will blink red after 5 seconds. Keep holding until the 10-second mark, when the LED will blink red once again, confirming the controller has been successfully reset to factory settings. Return the reset controller to inventory.
