Tools needed to install your Dimmer

Installation and testing

Step 1

• WARNING: To avoid fire and electrical shock, TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring.

Step 2

• Removing existing switch: Remove existing wall plate and switch mounting screws. Carefully pull switch from wall box, identify and take out the wires attached to the switch, then remove the switch. DO NOT remove wires which are taken out from the switch at this time. (If new configuration skip this step)

Step 3

• identifying your wiring application

NOTE: f the wiring in the wall box does not resemble any of these configurations, consult an electrician.

1. Line (Hot)
2. Neutral
3. Ground Load
4. Line or Load (See note below)
5. Neutral
6. Ground First Traveler -note color Second Traveler -note color

IMPORTANT: For 3-Way applications, note that one of the screw terminals from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black) or labeled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as the common (Line or Load) in both the dimmer wall box and 3-way wall box.
Step 4

NOTE:

• Dimmer must always be connected to the side with electricity of the load to ensure normal work.
• Multi-way self-reset switch can control up to 20pcs of dimmer for UP/DOWN dim and ON/OFF at the same time.
• Two or more dimmers must not be connected in parallel or series to control the same load from two different locations.

Step 4c-2

• One self-reset switch control Multiple dimmer wiring diagram

NOTE :

• One self-reset switch can control up to 20 dimmers for UP/ DOWN dim and ON/OFF at the same time.

Step 4c-3

• Multiple self-reset switches control multi-way dimmers wiring diagram

NOTE:

• Multi-way self-reset switch can control up to 20 dimmers for UP/ DOWN dim and ON/OFF at the same time.

• Connect the yellow and green dimmer wire to the green or bare copper ground wire in the wall-box, and twist them with wire connector.

• Connect the black dimmer wire to the hot input wire with tag removed from the switch, and twist them with wire connector.

• Connect the white dimmer wire to the neutral wire, and twist them with wire connector.

• Connect the red dimmer wire, brown dimmer wire to the remaining 3-way switch’s two wires removed from the switch, and twist them with wire connector.
  (Note: The red wire on the dimmer is connected to the load wire on the 3-way Switch.)

Step 5
