SAVI Controls QAPD-01 Smart Dimmer User Guide
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
Turn OFF the power to the branch circuit for the switch and lighting fixture at the service panel. All wiring connections must be made with the POWER OFF to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the dimmer. This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States and the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada.
If you are unsure or uncomfortable about performing the installation, consult a qualified electrician.
Smart Dimmer Wiring/Installation Instructions
-
Shut off power to the circuit at circuit breaker or fuse box.
IMPORTANT: Verify power is OFF to switch box before continuing. -
Remove wall plate.
-
Remove the switch mounting screws.
-
Carefully remove the switch from the switch box.
Note: DO NOT disconnect the wires. -
There are up to five screw terminals on the switch, these are marked:
- GROUND
- LINE – black (connected to power)
- LOAD – black or red (connected to lighting/load)
- TRAVELER – black or red (only in 3-way installations)
- NEUTRAL – white
-
Match these screw terminals to the wires connected to the existing switch.
-
Disconnect the wires from the existing switch.
-
Label wires according to the previous terminal connection.
Multi-Switch Wiring
For 3-way installations, refer to the companion switch manual.
Wire Gauge Requirements
Use 12AWG or 14AWG wires suitable for at least 90ºC for supplying line (hot), load, neutral, ground, and traveler connections.
Air Gap
The air gap switch on the bottom must be pulled out when replacing light bulbs, this disconnects power to the load. When installation is finished, the air gap switch needs to be pushed all the way back in for the device to function properly.
Wire Strip Length
For attachment using the enclosure’s holes, strip insulation 5/8in (16mm). UL specifies the tightening torque for the screws is 14Kgf-cm (12lbf-in).
Refer to the diagram and follow the steps below.
-
Connect the green or bare copper ground wire to the GROUND terminal.
-
Connect the black wire from the light to the LOAD terminal.
-
Connect the black wire from the electrical service panel (hot) to the LINE terminal.
-
Connect the white wire to the NEUTRAL terminal (use a jumper wire if needed)
Note: The traveler terminal is only used for 3-way or 4-way wiring and should not be connected if the dimmer is being installed in a 2-way system (one dimmer & one load). -
Insert dimmer into the switch box being careful not to pinch or crush wires.
-
The switch must be independently mounted (vertical position only).
-
Secure the switch to the box using the supplied screws.
-
Mount the wall plate.
-
Reapply power to the circuit at fuse box or circuit breaker and test the system.
Basic Operation
The connected light can be turned ON/OFF in two ways.
- Manually from the front panel of the dimmer
- Remotely via the SAVI Server
Manual Control
The front panel rocker switch allows the user to turn ON/OFF or Dim UP/DN the connected fixture by completing the following steps:
- Press the top of the rocker to turn the light ON or press the bottom to turn it OFF.
- Connected to dimmer and press/hold the top of the rocker to dim UP, or press/hold the bottom to dim DOWN.
IMPORTANT: This dimmer is rated for and intended to only be used with
copper wire.
Note: For 3-way configurations, ensure the smart dimmer is installed in the junction box where Line (Hot) enters the electrical circuit. Insert wires into holes, do not wrap wires around screws. Do not remove screws.
The Qoralux Smart Dimmer is designed to operate in either 120VAC or 277VAC circuits. For 277VAC 3-way circuits, use standard “off-the-shelf” 277VAC compatible 3-way switch.
