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 prior to 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

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

1. Line (Hot)

2. Ground

3. Load

4. Line or Load Common (See important instructions below)

5. Ground

6. First Traveler

7. Second Traveler

IMPORTANT: For 3-way applications, note that one of the screw terminals from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black) or labeled 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 travelers.
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:

The For is wire single is pole used in installations, 3-way do installations not remove only, this insulating label.

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 wire.
3. Red dimmer wire without insulating label connects to 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 connects to the two travelers.

• Rotate Counter-Clockwise More Bright
• Rotate Clockwise
• Less Bright
