BESTTEN DS06M Super Slim Digital Led Dimmer Switch

Warnings and Cautions

• Risk of fire and electrical shock. The dimmer must be installed in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• Turn the power off at the circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before installing.
• After installation, it is recommended to set the minimum brightness level so all bulbs turn on immediately.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a licensed electrician.
• To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance, or a transformer-supplied appliance.
• Use with compatible dimmable LED, CFL bulbs, Incandescent, or halogen bulbs only.
• When multiple bulbs are used with one dimmer DO NOT mix bulb types. All bulbs must be either LED, CFL, or incandescent. Using the exact same model for each bulb will enhance dimmer performance.

Installation Tools

• No.2 Philips Screwdriver: Multi Meter
• Electrical Tape: Pliers
• Wire Cutters: Ruler

Installation

• WARNING: To avoid fire and electrical shock, TURN OFF THE POWER at the circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring.
• Remove the screws installed on the existing wall plate and switch, and carefully pull out the switch from the wall box.
• 3 Identify and mark each wire attached to the switch.
• Do not remove the wires from the switch until they have been identified and marked. (This step is not required for new installations.)
• Identify the type of wiring in the wall box, 3-way, or single pole.
  Note: If the wires in the wall box are different from the following layouts, please consult an electrician.

Single Pole

1. Line (Hot)
2. Neutral
3. Ground
4. Load

3-Way

1. Line or Load (See note below)
2. Neutral
3. Ground
4. Traveler 1
5. Traveler 2

Important
Please note that for 3-way applications, on the existing switches, there are 3 terminals. One of the terminals on each switch will be a different color than the other 2. This terminal will be connected to the line or load and can be marked Line/Load.

Typical wiring application

• 4a Single-Pole Connection style 1

• Connect the green wire on the dimmer to the ground wire in the wall box, and secure the connection with a wire nut.

• Connect the black wire on the dimmer to the wire labeled line, and secure the connection with a wire nut.

• Connect the red wire on the dimmer to the wire labeled load, and secure the connection with a wire nut.

• The remaining brown wire on the dimmer is not used it this application and must be capped with a wire nut.

IMPORTANT
In 3-way applications, this dimmer is wired very differently than a standard 3-way switch or dimmer. The wiring for the non-dimmer 3-way switch will also need to be altered for the dimmer to work. Please follow the wiring diagrams very carefully. This dimmer will not work in a circuit where a 4-way switch is used. It is very important that you identify all wires in both the wall box that the dimmer will be installed and the other 3-way switch before installation.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND EMPLOYING THE SERVICES OF A TICKETED ELECTRICIAN

You will need to identify;

Traveler 1: There are 2 traveler wires that must be identified individually and they go between the wall box with the line and the wall box with the load.
You must identify each traveler wire independently and ensure that it is the same wire in each box. Mark one as Traveler 1 in each wall box.
Tip; To identify each traveler separately you can confirm the wire is the same in each wall box by temporarily connecting the end of one traveler wire to the ground wire in one wall box and checking with a meter for continuity between the ground and the traveler in the other wall box. Mark this wire in both boxes.
You can double-check this by disconnecting the ground wire and checking that there is no longer continuity between the ground and the marked wire.

• Traveler 2: Of the 2 traveler wires that go between the wall box with the line and the wall box with the load, you must identify the second traveler wire and mark it Traveler 2 in each wall box.
• The LINE: This is the wire that has power coming in from the electrical panel. This wire will have power at all times regardless of switch positions.
• The LOAD : This is the wire that goes from one switch to the lights. It will be in a different wall box than the LINE wire.

4b-1 3-Way (3-Way Switch)
Connection style 2

Location

• Connect the green wire on the dimmer to the ground wire in the wall box, and secure the connection with a wire nut.
• Connect the black power wire on the dimmer to the wire labeled line or load, and secure the connection with a wire nut.
• Connect the brown wire on the dimmer to the Traveler 2 wire, and secure the connection with a wire nut.
• Connect the red wire on the dimmer to the Traveler 1 wire, and secure the connection with a wire nut.

Location 2

• Connect the Jumper wire together with the wires labeled Traveler 1, and the wire tagged Line or Load. Twist all 3 wires together and secure the connection with a wire nut. Connect the other end of the Jumper wire to the Common Terminal on the 3-way switch.
• Connect the wire labeled Traveler 2 to the terminal screw 1 or 2 on the 3-way switch.

4b-2 3-Way (Single Pole Switch)
Connection style 3

Location 1

• Connect the green wire on the dimmer to the ground wire in the wall box, and secure the connection with a wire nut.
• Connect the black power wire on the dimmer to the wire labeled line or load, and secure the connection with a wire nut.
• Connect the brown wire on the dimmer to the Traveler 2 wire on the 3-way switch, and secure the connection with a wire nut.
• Connect the red wire on the dimmer to the Traveler 1 wire on the 3-way switch, and secure the connection with a wire nut.

Location 2

• Connect the Jumper wire together with the wires labeled Traveler 1, and the wire tagged Line or Load. Twist all 3 wires together and secure the connection with a wire nut. Connect the other end of the Jumper wire to terminal Screw 1 on the Single Pole Switch.
