WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

1. Use with compatible dimmable LED, CFL bulbs, Incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only. To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, DO NOT install to control a receptacle, a motor-operated or transformer-supplied appliance, or any other lighting sources than those specified.
2. To be installed and/or used by appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
3. Use only one (1) dimmer in a 3-way circuit.
4. When multiple bulbs are used with one dimmer, do not mix bulb types. All bulbs should be either LED, CFL or incandescent. Using the same make/model of each bulb will enhance dimmer performance.
5. Use this device with copper or copper-clad wire only.
6. Clean dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
7. If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.

INSTALLATION

Multi-Gang Installations

• When installing more than one control in the same wall box, it may be necessary to remove all the inner side sections before wiring.
• Using pliers, bend each needed side section up and down until it breaks off.

Dimmer Capacity

• 600W unmodified
• S00W if one side is removed
• 400W if both sides are removed

Installation Instructions

STEP 1

• Turn OFF Power

STEP2: Identify Your Wiring Application

(most common):
NOTE: If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble any of these configurations, consult an electrician.

Single-Pole

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

3-Way

1. Line or Load Common (See important instructions below)
2. Ground
3. First Traveler
4. Second Traveler

MPORTANT: For 3-way applications, note that one of the screw terminals from the old switch being removed will usually be a different colour (Black) or labelled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify it as the common (Line or Load) in both the dimmer wall box and the standard 3-way switch wall box. The remaining two wires on the brass or lighter screw terminals of the old switch are the travellers.

STEP3: Prepare Wires:

• Pull off the pre-cut insulation from the Dimmer wires.
• Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are straight (cut if necessary).

STEP4A: Single-Pole Wiring Application:

Connect wires as follows
Screw wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare conductors show below the wire connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.

1. Green dimmer wire connects to Ground or bare copper wire.
2. Black dimmer wire connects to Line Hotwire.
3. Red dimmer wire without an insulating label connects to the Load wire.
4. Remaining red dimmer wire should have an insulation label affixed. DO NOT REMOVE it in a single pole application.

STEP 4B: 3-Way Wiring Application:

Connect wires as follows
Screw wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare conductors show below the wire connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.

1. Green dimmer wire connects to Ground or bare copper wire.
2. Black dimmer wire connects to Line Hot or Load (Common) wire.
3. Two Red dimmer wires connect to the two travellers.

STEP5: Dimmer Mounting:

• Installation may now be completed by carefully positioning all the wires to provide room in the wall box for the dimmer.
• Mount the dimmer into the box with supplied mounting screws.

STEP6: Turn ON Power:

STEP 7: Test Dimmer:

ON/OFF
Press the rocker switch to the ON/OFF position Lights will turn ON/OFF
BRIGHTEN & DIM

• Move the slider control lever
• Lights will BRIGHTEN or DIM
• If the LEDs flicker, go to step 8 to adjust the dimmer range.
• If the LEDs work properly, install the wallplate and complete the installation.

STEP 8: Adjust Dimmer Range (optional):

Adjust circuit dimming as follows:

1. Turn on the Switch and move the Slider to the lowest (bottom) setting.
2. Rotate (Counter-Clockwise) the Sensitivity Dial up. NOTE: If the dial stops in either direction, do not continue to turn it.
3. Rotate (Clockwise) the Sensitivity Dial down slowly until the preferred lowest light level is acheived and the light is not flickering.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom

• Bulbs turn off while being dimmed.
• Bulbs turn on at a high light level but do not turn on at a low light level, or take too long to turn on at the low end.
• Bulbs flicker or flash when dimmed do a low light level.
• Bulbs or dimmers are buzzing.

Solution

1. Verify all bulbs are marked dimmable.
2. Remove the wallplate and locate the sensitivity dial.
3. Turn up the (counter-clockwise) sensitivity dial slowly until the symptom is no longer present.
