It is possible to use the Calex Smart Dimmer in a two-way switch circuit. However, it is important that the other switches in this two-way switch circuit are of the pulse switch or pulse push button type..
A pulse switch, also known as a pulse button, momentary switch, operates on the basis of a brief pressure. This means that the switch only makes contact as long as you press it and springs back immediately as soon as you release it. The connection is therefore immediately broken as soon as the pressure is released. This type of switch is essential for the dimmer to function correctly in a two-way switch circuit..

Step-by-step instructions:
- Switch off the power:
Always switch off the power at the fuse box before you start installing. Safety comes first.. - Preparing the wiring:
- N (blue): connect the neutral wire directly to the N connection of the dimmer and through to the lamp.
- L (brown): Connect the phase wire to the L connection of the dimmer and run an extra wire to the switches..
- Connecting the switches:
- Connect the pulse switches to the P input of the dimmer..
- If there are multiple switches in the two-way switch circuit, connect them in parallel with each other, as shown in the diagram..
- Connecting the lamp:
- Connect the black wire from the dimmer to the lamp..
- Connect the other end of the lamp to the neutral wire..
- Check and switch on:
- Check all connections carefully.
- Switch the power back on and test whether the dimmer is working correctly with the switches..
Note:
- Only pulse switches work correctly in a two-way switch circuit with this dimmer..
- Never use ordinary on/off switches, as this may interfere with the dimming function or damage the dimmer..
