The Pass and Seymour plug-switch combo has 3 screws There is a dark screw on one side .... the black Hot wire from breaker box connects here
There are silver and brass colored screws on other side of device
The white Neutral from breaker box connects to silver screw connects here >>> this will give power to your receptacle The black wire going to Load (light, fan, motor that you want switch to control) connects to brass colored screw ... the switch controls power to Load
How to test for black Hot Remove devices and separate wires Turn on power Test each wire to bare copper wire Tester lights up on black Hot wire How to test for white Neutral Test black Hot to each white wire Tester lights up on Neutral
The wires that you taped up are most likely the wires that feed that outlet and the outlet that isn't working anymore in the bathroom. The proper way to fix your problem would be to do one of the following:
Turn off all electrical power to that circuit. If you are unsure, turn the whole panel off. The inconvenience of resetting your household clocks isn't worth your life.
1) If the screws on your new outlet have spaces for two wires, reattach the disconnected wires under the same screws as the ones feeding the new outlet.
2) Cut yourself a 8" piece of black, white and green or bare copper wire. Disconnect the wires feeding the new outlet. Twist all three wires together, color to color and twist a wirenut on each connection. You should have the three black wires twisted together, the white wires twisted together and the green or bare wires twisted together. Now take the 8" wires and reconnect them to the outlet. Black going to the bronze screw, white going to the silver screw, and green or bare going to the green screw.
Would suggest you contact the Pass and Seymour Div. of Legrand (France) and ask for the pdf file with the instructions. Your unit has a wireless function and must be work properly.
