Ganging and Derating
Derating is necessary if mounting two or more devices side by side (see chart
for new wattage rating).
Note: Derating not necessary for LED / CFL loads.
Important Notes
- CAUTION: Use only with permanently installed fixtures with dimmable screw-in compact fluorescent, dimmable screw-in LED, halogen, or incandescent lamps. To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, motor-driven appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances.
- Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
- When no “grounding means” exists in wallbox, the National Electrical Code (NECR) allows a control to be installed as a replacement when a plastic faceplate with plastic fasteners is used, or the circuit is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Lutron wallplates meet this requirement. Cap or remove green wire before screwing control into wallbox.
- Protect the dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling the wall.
- It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch during operation.
- Clean the dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
- For indoor use only.
