FAQs
Begin by turning off power and ensuring the wall box accommodates a single-gang footprint. Prepare #14-10 AWG conductors, strip to about 0.31 inches, and connect to the side-wire screw terminals as labeled. Secure the switch with mounting screws to the wall box, verify three-way wiring if used, restore power, and test for proper operation. The CS315BK supports #14-10 AWG conductors in a commercial setting, with a robust copper alloy terminal enclosure for reliable terminations.
The CS315BK is rated for 15A at 120/277V, and it supports both single-pole and three-way configurations. This makes it well-suited for common commercial lighting circuits and control panels, providing safe operation across typical building voltages without needing multiple devices or adapters.
Yes. The CS315BK features three-way switching capability in addition to its single-pole configuration, enabling flexible wiring schemes for complex lighting control in offices, retail spaces, and institutional facilities. The side-wire termination and screw terminals simplify field wiring while maintaining reliable, repeatable performance in commercial environments.
The CS315BK is cULus Listed, NOM, and complies with Federal Specification Classification 6241 05. These certifications indicate adherence to recognized safety and performance standards, easing inspection processes, ensuring regulatory compliance for commercial projects, and supporting acceptance across building codes and procurement requirements.
Durable copper alloy terminals, a side-wire, screw-terminal design, and a compact wall-mount form factor reduce installation time and wiring errors. The 15A, 120/277V rating supports common loads, lowering the need for multiple devices. Overall, this translates to faster commissioning, lower maintenance costs, and improved uptime in busy commercial facilities.
