Leviton 5685-2W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does SPDT center-off mean on the Leviton 5685-2W switch, and when would I use it?
The 5685-2W is a single-pole, double-throw rocker with a center-off position, so the paddle gives you three states: one load energized up, everything off in the middle, the other load energized down. That is how you run two separate loads from one device (for example two lighting zones or a two-speed load) and still have a true off. A standard three-way switch has no off position, it only transfers between two travelers.
2) Will the Leviton 5685-2W work on a 277V lighting circuit?
Yes. The 5685-2W is rated 120/277 volts at 15 amps, so it is usable on the 277V branch circuits common in commercial fluorescent and LED lighting as well as standard 120V residential and office circuits.
3) Does the Leviton 5685-2W take a standard Decora wallplate?
It uses the Decora Plus rocker profile, so it mounts behind a standard Decora style (large rectangular opening) wallplate and lines up with other Decora Plus devices in a multi-gang box. If the rest of a floor is already Decora, this keeps the openings consistent.
4) Is the Leviton 5685-2W commercial grade or residential grade?
Commercial/specification grade. That is the construction tier spec'd for high-cycle use in offices, retail, hospitality and institutional buildings, rather than the lighter residential grade device. It also uses an AC quiet mechanism, which matters in occupied spaces like conference rooms and patient areas where switch clack is noticeable.
5) Can I use the Leviton 5685-2W as a plain single-pole on/off switch?
You can wire only one of the two throws and leave the other terminal unused, which gives you on in one direction and off at center. But you are paying for a double-throw device and the paddle will still travel to a third position, which confuses users. If all you need is simple on/off, order a single-pole switch instead. Use the 5685-2W where you genuinely need two selectable loads plus an off.
