APD install: traveller wire

[Tokead]

I’ve just replaced a DIM1 dimmer with a KD120. On the dimmer, I connected the blue wire to the traveller to get power to a two button switch at the other end of the hallway, and bound it to the dimmer.

 

For the APD, I’ve wired the yellow wire to the traveller, but I’m not getting power at the two button. Any idea why ?

Because that's not how it works.

On the older lighting, the blue was an optional power wire (which you would more commonly use to create a jumper to a touchscreen - the idea being that you could cut power on the dimmer with the pull out to reboot the touchscreen).

On the current gen stuff, the yellow wire is a data wire for AUX keypads.

Thanks. So how do I wire it now?

The way you should have: Jumper the traveller to the hot connection at the dimmer to pass through power to the 2-button (mark the traveller wire with black tape to indicate it's a hot)
