INSTALLING THE SMART DIMMERS

NOTE: INSTALLATION OF THIS SMART DIMMER REQUIRES A NEUTRAL WIRE  Ir A NEUTRAL WRE IS NOT CONNECTED. THIS DIMMER WILL NOT WORK CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH, TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING.
2. IDENTIFY YOUR WIRING: SINGLE POLE OR 3-WAY
NOTE: for all the steps below if you are not certain you have the wiring described consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
2a. Open the outlet box and look for the neutral wire. If you do not have a neutral wire the dimmer will not work.
IF YOU’RE NOT SURE CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
2b. Determine if you have Single Pole or 3-Way wiring and label your wires. Review Diagram A and B below to find the closest match.

4. FIT DIMMER INSIDE THE WALL-BOX

• Carefully position all wires inside the wall-box, leaving enough room to insert the dimmer housing.
• Secure the dimmer inside the wall box using the provided mounting screws.

5. SEPARATE MOUNTING FRAME FROM WALL PLATE
Gently inserts a screwdriver into slots to separate the mounting frame from the wall plate.
6. INSTALL MOUNTING FRAME
Place the mounting frame over your installed dimmer and secure it using provided screws.
7. INSTALL WALL PLATE

Snap the decorative wall plate over the installed mounting frame with the top first then the bottom.
DIMMER OPERATION
Restore power to enable dimmer operation. The indicator lights on the dimmer will begin blinking. To use as a traditional (non-smart) dimmer wait until the blinking stops. This will take around 3 minutes.
To enable smart features, see step 9
MULTI-GANG INSTALLATION
You may need to purchase multi-gang cover plates (not included)]. If there is a previous dimmer in the switch box, be sure to turn the power OFF at the circuit breaker or fuse box and then remove the wall plate.

WHEN INSTALLING THIS DIMMER IN MULTI-GANG LOCATIONS, FOLLOW THE MAXIMUM RATINGS BELOW:

9. ENABLE SMART FEATURES
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE FEIT ELECTRIC APP

• Search for the Feit Electric App in the App Store or Google Play Store.
• Download and install the Feit Electric App on your smart device.
  Feit Electric app

SET UP THE WI-FI SMART DIMMER USING THE FEIT ELECTRIC APP

• Check to be sure the Wi-Fi Smart Dimmer is in pairing mode. The indicator light must be blinking rapidly to connect. If not already blinking, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. Use the Feit App to complete the setup.
• Tap Add Device or the + sign, then select Smart Dimmer and confirm. You will be prompted to enter your Wi-Fi network and password.

Be sure to connect to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network that covers your installation location.
(OPTIONAL) CONNECT TO GOOGLE ASSISTANT OR ALEXA USING THE IN- APP GUIDE

FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON SMART FEATURES, SEE THE APP USER GUIDE.
SET YOUR DIMMING RANGE AND TROUBLESHOOT FLICKERING
If you experience flickering, first tighten any loose bulbs and ensure all bulbs are rated “dimmable”. If flickering continues, it may be caused by irregular power surges and spikes of electric energy moving along power lines and building wiring. Flickering more frequently occurs at lower dim levels. There are two ways to set the lowest possible dimming level which may help with flickering. If you have enabled smart features, you can use the app. Under Settings, adjust the minimum brightness until you do not see flickering (step 11 in App User Guide). You can also set this low-dim point manually on the dimmer:

LIGHT LEVEL INDICATOR LIGHTS The LEDs will light up to indicate the selected brightness level. From left to right:

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Difficulty connecting dimmer to a Wi-Fi network:

• Make sure the Wi-Fi network is a 2.4 GHz network.
• Smart Dimmer will not connect to a 5 GHz network.
• Test your Wi-Fi network with other devices such as your phone to make sure it is operating properly.
• The Wi-Fi connection may not have good coverage during setup. Try moving the Smart Dimmer closer to your Wi-Fi router.
• Your Wi-Fi network password is case sensitive, make sure you are entering it correctly.

Lights are flickering:

• The lamp has a bad connection.
• The wire connections are not firmly secured.
• Set your dimming range and troubleshoot flickering.

Light does not turn ON

• The circuit breaker or fuse has tripped.
• The bulb or lamp is burned out.

The power indicator light does not turn ON:

• Neutral is not connected to a dimmer (white wire)
•  Confirm that dimmer is being supplied from a 120 V AC, 60 Hz source ONLY.

Intermittent dimmer operation:

• Confirm that the Load being controlled does not exceed 450W incandescent or 150W LED.

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS

• Make sure dimmer switches are in an off position (no light level indicator lights are lit).
• To ensure there is no power at the socket when replacing light bulbs, turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Air gap switch can be used to disable the dimmer in single-pole (only one smart dimmer on a circuit and no other switch or dimmer) applications. This is not intended to replace turning off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse.

NOTE:
Dimmable LEDs may not dim as low as incandescent bulbs. The dimming range of dimmable LEDs can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. This dimmer has an adjustable dimming range. If your bulbs do not dim to your satisfaction, hum, bun or flicker see “Set your dimming range and troubleshoot flickering”
Compatible with Feit Electric dimmable LED bulbs and most other dimmable LED bulbs. Dimming performance may not be the same as the dimming of incandescent bulbs. Some possible dimming variations include but are not limited to: less dimming range than an incandescent bulb; dimming less smooth than an incandescent bulb; flicker or shimmer at certain light levels; and, buzzing or humming at certain light levels. Feit Electric warrants the compatibility of this dimmer with Feit Electric LED dimmable bulbs and replacement of the dimmer is the sole remedy for incompatibility. Feit Electric does not warrant the compatibility of this dimmer with any other particular LED bulb.
