SINGLE LOCATION OVERVIEW

The HALO Home Accessory dimmer easily replaces a single location standard switch/dimmer once the connected lighting has been retrofitted with HALO Home Smart Lighting or is connected to a HALO Home Smart Device.
This Dimmer will only control HALO Home Smart Lights and Devices wirelessly – it does not control non-smart loads.*

The Accessory Dimmer sends wireless signals to the HALO Home Smart Light(s)/Device(s) it’s commissioned to control and the lighting/controlled load turns ON/OFF.

MULTI-LOCATION CONTROL OVERVIEW

Multiple Accessory Dimmers can control the same smart lights/devices for easy 3- or 4-way control.

MAX Load: 300W HALO Home Smart LED Lighting

*For control of non-smart loads, use the HALO Home Smart Dimmer or HALO Home Smart Switch.

Wall Accessory Dimmer

TIPS: When retrofitting existing dimmer locations:

Verify that there is a neutral wire available at EACH dimmer location.(White wires connected to dimmer terminals and marked with electrical tape are typically NOT neutral wires.)
HALO Home Accessory Dimmers cannot wire downline of a Smart Switch, Smart Dimmer, or other dimming/switching device.
They require a constant hot feed (unswitched and undimmed).
Because it does not directly control the Smart Light/Device, the HALO Home Accessory Dimmer does not need to be powered from the same circuit and can be connected for power to any convenient constant power circuit (undimmed and unswitched).

3-way and 4-way wiring can be confusing. If wiring does not match diagrams shown, stop and consult with an electrician.

SINGLE-POLE INSTALLATION (1 Dimmer)

1. Turn OFF power at the circuit breaker and remove the wall plate

2. Leaving wiring attached, pull the dimmer away from the wall.

3. Verify that there is a neutral wire available. If not, stop and consult a licensed electrician.

4. Turn the wall dimmer to the OFF position but leave the wires connected.

5. Ensure wiring is safely separated and terminals are not touching anything, and then turn ON power at the circuit breaker.

6. DO NOT TOUCH EXPOSED WIRE OR TERMINALS. Using a voltage tester, determine and note which wire still has power (‘Hot’).

7. Turn OFF power at the circuit breaker

8. Use a label or electrical tape to tag the identified ‘Hot’/power wire.

9. Disconnect the wires and remove the dimmer.

10. Connect the HALO Home Accessory Dimmer (A) using provided wire nuts (B).

i. Connect the tagged ‘Hot’ wire to the Accessory Dimmer’s black wire.
ii. Connect the bare copper or green ground wire from the wall-box to the Accessory Dimmer’s green wire.
iii. Connect the other dimmer wire (load) to the Accessory Dimmer’s red wire.
iv. Connect the neutral wire in the wall-box to the Accessory Dimmer’s white wire. (NEUTRAL IS REQUIRED).

Wall Accessory Dimmer

11. Using the screws provided (C), mount the Accessory Dimmer in the wall-box and attach a wall plate (not included).

12. Turn ON power at the circuit breaker. (An LED indicator will start flashing when power is turned ON).

3-WAY INSTALLATION (2 Dimmers)

1. Turn OFF the light using one of the dimmers. Turn OFF power at the circuit breaker.

Wall Accessory Dimmer

2. Remove the wall plates from the existing light dimmers.

3. Leaving wiring attached, remove screws and pull the dimmers away from the wall. Verify that BOTH dimmer locations have a neutral wire available. If not, stop and consult a licensed electrician.

Wall Accessory Dimmer

4. At each dimmer location, place electrical tape or a label on the wire connected to the different colored screw terminal (common).

5. Ensure wiring is safely separated and terminals are not touching anything, and then turn ON power at the circuit breaker.

Wall Accessory Dimmer

6. DO NOT TOUCH EXPOSED WIRE OR TERMINALS. Using a voltage tester, determine which dimmer location has power on the tagged wire. (The powered location is connected to the breaker while the unpowered location is connected to the lighting load.)

Wall Accessory Dimmer

7. Use a tape or label to tag the powered dimmer location “POWER”. Label the other dimmer location “LOAD”.

4-WAY INSTALLATION (3+ Dimmers)

In locations with 3 or more dimmers, the following rules will be true:

2 locations will have 3-way dimmers: 3 wiring terminals plus a ground terminal.
All remaining locations will have 4-way dimmers: 4 wiring terminals plus a ground terminal.

1. Follow steps 1 – 3 in the “3-WAY INSTALLATION (2 Dimmers)” section, removing 3- and 4-way dimmers from the wall in step 3. All dimmer locations must have a neutral.

2. At the two 3-way dimmer locations, follow steps 4 – 11 in the “3-WAY INSTALLATION (2 Dimmers)” section and then return to this section for further instruction.

3. Make sure circuit breaker is still OFF from previous steps.) At each 4-way dimmer location, identify the 2 separate pairs of wires
