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
- Line (Hot)
- Ground
- Load
3-Way
- Line or Load Common (See important instructions below)
- Ground
- First Traveler
- 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.
- Green dimmer wire connects to Ground or bare copper wire.
- Black dimmer wire connects to Line Hotwire.
- Red dimmer wire without an insulating label connects to the Load wire.
- 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.
- Green dimmer wire connects to Ground or bare copper wire.
- Black dimmer wire connects to Line Hot or Load (Common) wire.
- 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:
- Turn on the Switch and move the Slider to the lowest (bottom) setting.
- Rotate (Counter-Clockwise) the Sensitivity Dial up. NOTE: If the dial stops in either direction, do not continue to turn it.
- Rotate (Clockwise) the Sensitivity Dial down slowly until the preferred lowest light level is acheived and the light is not flickering.
TROUBLESHOOTING

- Bulbs or dimmers are buzzing.
Solution
- Verify all bulbs are marked dimmable.
- Remove the wallplate and locate the sensitivity dial.
