Ketra’s N2 wireless repeater broadens the scope of an installation by relaying
KetraNet Mesh wireless signals. Acting as a signal booster and a repeater, the N2
ensures unbroken communication between weak wireless zones as well as over
distances greater than Ketra’s wireless range. The N2 is sized for standard wall
boxes, and its blank surface fits comfortably within Decora® and Claro wallplates
or behind blank wallplates.

3. Run power to wall box utilizing stranded or solid core 12-18 AWG wire.
(See Fig 3)
4. P repare the wire for connection to lead wire: a. Strip 8.5 mm (0.3 in)
of wire for insertion into the wire nut. b. Twist the stranded wire to prevent fraying (tinning optional).
5. Using the provided wire nuts, attach each N2 lead wire to the corresponding conductor. Black-Line, White-Neutral, Green-Ground.

6. Ensure that no conductors are visible after insertion, and that no stray wires are exposed.
7. Carefully tuck wires back into wall box.
8. M ount the N2 to the wall box using the supplied fasteners. Leave the fasteners snug, not fully tight. (See Fig 5)
9. Secure wall plate mount to the N2 using the supplied fasteners.

Retrofit
Important Notes:
• This wiring scheme is for standard in-line 2-Way light switches.
• The wall box should have a volume of 14 in3 or greater.
• The N2 does not have to be on the same circuit as any Ketra fixtures, as all control signals are wireless.
•
Because Ketra fixtures can be turned on and off wirelessly, it is recommended that they not be wired to a light switch if the installation has Ketra controllers. In a retrofit installation where the N2 is replacing a light switch, it is okay to wire the Ketra fixtures directly to the N2. (See Fig 11)

N2
* X2 and load on same circuit should be wired in parallel, not series.
1. Turn off power feed to the switch to be replaced.
2. Remove existing switch.
3. Continue with step 3 in the New Construction section, Page 8.
