Frequently Asked Questions - CS6-DW Lowell
How do I install the Lowell CS6-DW switch?
Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Remove existing wall plate and switch. Connect line and load wires to the screw terminals (brass for hot, silver for neutral, green for ground). Mount switch into box, attach wall plate, restore power.
What wire gauge should I use with this switch?
Use copper or copper-clad wire from 14 AWG to 12 AWG for 15 A circuits. Strip insulation 3/4 inch and wrap around screws clockwise.
Can this switch be used in a 3-way configuration?
No, the CS6-DW is a single-pole switch and cannot be used for 3-way switching. It only controls a load from one location.
Is the CS6-DW compatible with dimmable LEDs?
This is a standard toggle switch, not a dimmer. It works with any LED bulb as long as the load does not exceed 15 A, but it does not provide dimming functionality.
What is the difference between CS6-DW and other Lowell models?
The CS6-DW is a decorator-style white single-pole switch rated 15 A. Other models may have different ratings, colors, or configurations (e.g., 3-way, illuminated).
How do I clean the switch without damaging it?
Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, cleaners, or abrasives. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen cloth with mild soap and wipe, then dry immediately.
What should I do if the switch feels loose?
Tighten the mounting screws holding the switch to the electrical box. If the wall plate is loose, tighten its screws. Do not overtighten as plastic may crack.
Can I use this switch outdoors?
The CS6-DW is rated IP20 for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof. For outdoor installation, use a switch with a higher IP rating (e.g., IP66) and a weatherproof cover.
Does the switch come with a wall plate?
The CS6-DW is typically sold as a switch only. A decorator wall plate (sold separately) is required. Lowell offers matching white plates with part number WP-DW.
Why does my switch spark when turned on?
A small spark is normal when contacts make or break. If spark is large or accompanied by a buzzing sound, turn off power and check for loose connections, overload, or a defective switch.
