Installation

NOTE: During normal operation there is a small amount of power passing through the dimmer switch to the load even when the dimmer switch is turned off. There is an air gap switch on the lower right side. Slide the switch to the left to completely disconnect the power while replacing light bulbs. Slide it to the right for normal operation. The air gap switch must be all the way in for the dimmer switch to function and control the lighting. See Figure 4.

Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside equipment.
Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that power is off.
Wire the dimmer switch according to single-pole (Figure 1) or three-way wiring diagram (Figure 2).

LED bulb flickers throughout dimming range| Ensure the bulbs are marked dimmable. Refer to recommended dimmable LED bulbs at www.se.com.
Light does not turn ON| Circuit breaker or fuse has tripped.
Lamp is burned out.
Lamp or dimmer neutral connection is not wired.
