    A four-way switch allows lighting to be controlled from three or more locations. It has four terminals with two toggle positions that allow current to flow through different pairs of terminals depending on the position. The document provides instructions on installing a four-way switch, including a list of required materials and tools, wiring diagrams, and step-by-step instructions. It describes running wires from the power source to three-way switches located at each location, connecting those switches to the four-way switch, and finally running a wire from the four-way switch to the light. Proper safety precautions and testing procedures are outlined to ensure correct and safe installation.

    PROCEDURE TO MAKE

    4-WAYS SWITCH INSTALLATION

    A. What is 4-ways switch ?


    Four-way switches are electrical component used to control lighting from three
    or more locations. Four-way switches are used in combination with three-way
    switches on both ends. There are four terminals that provide two sets of toggle
    positions on a four-way switch. Each set of terminals is one of the toggle positions.
    When the switch is in the up position, the current can flow through two terminals. In
    the down position, the current flows through the other two terminals.

    From all the picture above starting from number 1 to 4 are, (1) 4-ways
    switching, (2) one line diagram symbol for 4-ways switching, (3) 4-ways switching
    wiring diagram, (4) working diagram for 4-ways switching.

    B. Tools and Materials


    There are several tools and materials needed to make a 4-ways switch
    installation, they are :
    Materials
     Voltage source
     Cable (netral and live wire)
     4-ways switch
     3-ways switch
     Junction box
     Lamp+socket
     Pipe
    Tools
     Multimeter
     Combination Pliers
     Screwdriver (-,+)
     Job safety tools

    C. Design the installation wiring


    Here is a simple 3 place operating lighting installation, the first picture is the
    one line diagram, and the second is the wiring diagram for it.
    D. The execution
    After all the preparations are complete the last thing to do is the wiring all
    componen together. Below are the step by step to make it done.
    1) Prepare all the needed thing like materials, tools, installation design, and
    safety tools, and of course yourself. Pray for safety to God before you starting
    2) Check the condition of each materials with multimeter. Check the voltage
    source with voltmeter, check all the cable conductivity, check the lamp+socket
    by trying it before, check the 3-ways switch condition with ohmmeter, and of
    course check the 4-ways switch using the ohmmeter. Check and remember the
    terminal in the 4-ways switch to make sure the installation are right.
    3) Read and understand the installation design.
    4) Place all the materials according to design picture. (in this case put it on the
    board at workshop)
    5) Put all the cables needed to the pipe all the way to each component. 2 cables
    for lamp (1 live wire & 1 blue netral cable), 3 live wire cables to each 3-ways
    switch and 4 live wire cables to the 4-ways switch. (make sure the cables long
    enough to be convenient).
    6) Peel off the tip of all cables about 2 cm using the combination pliers.
    7) Open all the component and use screwdriver to connect the wire to
    component. Follow the wiring diagram and connect the wire one by one
    starting from the netral cable to the lamp socket. Then connect the live wire
    from the source to the 3-ways switch terminal input, an then connect the cable
    with the two terminal output. Connect the right cable output from 3-ways
    switch to the one terminal at 4-ways switch and jumper it with the opposite
    terminal, and do the same for the other cable from the 3 ways switch too. After
    that connect the right side output cable from 4-ways switch to the right side of
    the 3-ways switch terminal, do the same for the other output too. Last connect
    the output from 3-ways switch to the lamp socket.
    8) After done wiring all the cables, don’t connect it to the voltage source yet.
    Check the installation with the multimeter setting on ohm. Put one probe from
    the multimeter to the source live wire and the other probe to the lamp socket,
    then try to operating all the switch if the multimeter display an ohm value it
    means the cable are connecting. Make sure to check all the installation.
    9) If you are sure the installation are safe and working good, then connect it to
    the voltage source.
    10) Put the lamp in it’s socket and then turn on the voltage source. And try to
    operating the lamp from 3 different place.
    11) After the installation success, clean and tidy up your working place and put
    back all the tools to it’s place.
    12) Pray to God for the success and safety.
