Two way and intermediate switch wiring

Notice that the wire connected to the COM terminals is looped straight through the intermediate . At this point you will have the Line wire of the supply cable still not connected. Do NOT connect the Line wire to the Line terminal because then your light would be permanently ON. What we need is to utilise the two - way and intermediate switching available . Three core and earth cable is required to install two or three way switching and this should be run from the first light switch to the second ( intermediate ) and then to the third switch and then wired as shown in this diagram.

Switch one is the switch that contains the live wire and switched live wire.

Student training aid for the connections required to wire two way and two way and intermediate switching.

Video explains the connection required within two w. Hope it will helps in your home project. Showing my wiring of an intermediate switch working for college.

The intermediate light switch is used where three or more switches control one light and used in conjunction with two two way light switches to achieve this. So we use these wires to control the dimmer.

This is actually the same wiring used in Figure but in the ceiling . This switch is designed for mains voltage lighting . IMPORTANT: Read ALL sections below before installing this switch. Maximum load for Switch modules is 6A. On intermediate for two way you would wire commen to top and strappers to bottom or vice versa.
