Abstract
A control device, such as a keypad device, for use in a load control system for controlling the power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load comprises a switch, a yoke fixedly mounted with respect to the switch, and a removable button assembly that may be removed from the control device. The removable button assembly comprises a spring tree having a frame portion and at least one button pivotably coupled to the frame portion. The button assembly is received within a channel of the yoke and is positioned such that the button is operable to actuate the switch when the button is pressed. The button assembly is adapted to slide through the channel, such that the button assembly may be removed from the control device. Accordingly, the button of the control device may be easily changed after installation of the control device.
