Before you start:
- Turn off the power supply to the ceiling fan
- Proceeding to replace the switch without disconnecting the power may cause electrical shock, fire hazard, serious injury, or death
Steps:
- Write down the color of each wire and the terminal number to which they are attached
- Remove wires from the old ceiling fan. If wires are hard to remove, insert a paper clip into each hole (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, L) and pull the wire out
- Make sure that the wire lead length is the same length as the line beside word “STRIP”
- insert the wires as noted in step 1
Wires should be inserted into the slots on side of the switch not the holes on surface.
Color Codes For Ceiling Fans (Your Fan Wires Color & Position May Vary)
- L=Black, 1=Grey, 2=Green, 3=Brown, 4=Purple
- L=Black, 1=Grey, 2=Brown, 3=Purple, 4=Green

Hi Larry,
Switch model ZE-208S5-1T has 5 terminals located on the side of the switch. Please note that the old switch and new switch have to be compatible in order to work. Some switches have 5 wires but only provide 3 speeds, this switch has 5 wires and provides 4 speeds. If the old switch is a 3-speed switch, then this switch would not work.
We also added a compatibility notes section on the switch page: https://www.ceilingfanswitch.com/product/zing-ear-ze-208s5-1t
Thank you
