2-in-1 LED Dimmer Wireless Ready
Item 511120
- Provides full range brightness control of low voltage white LED lighting.
- Use dimmer alone or with Armacost Lighting’s optional designer-style wireless touchpad dimmer for remote 2-way lighting control.
- Unique convertible design installs directly into standard switch boxes or surface mounts anywhere for easy, precise control of your LED lighting.
- Works with 12-volt DC and 24-volt DC LED lighting.
- Dimming will save energy and extend LED life.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
-
For use only with 12-volt DC or 24-volt DC low voltage single color LED lighting. Do not connect this device to a 120-volt AC current. For dry location use. If used outdoors, the unit must be installed inside a wet location rated electrical box enclosure.
-
Do not connect more than one dimmer to a power supply in the same circuit. Doing so will cause the led lights to fl icker.
-
Use only with 12-volt or 24-volt DC constant voltage standard electronic power supplies. Not compatible with magnetic power supplies or low voltage power supplies with 12-volt AC output.
-
Suitable for RV and boat interior applications (dry location), this device can be direct-wired and powered by an onboard 12- or 24-volt battery.
-
Do not exceed 96 watts of lighting when used with 12volt LEDs or 192 watts when used with 24-volt LEDs.
-
All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes, low voltage Class 2 circuit. If you are unclear as to how to install and wire this product, contact a qualifi ed electrician.
-
Be sure to maintain polarity (+ to +, – to –). Failure to observe polarity or shorting of wires may damage the dimmer.
-
Use only insulated staples or plastic ties to secure cords and wires.
-
Route and secure wires so they will not be pinched or damaged.
-
For wire runs inside of walls, use certifi ed CL2 or better cabling and appropriate mounting hardware.
-
Do not install Class 2 low voltage wiring in the same runs as AC main power. If AC and low voltage wires cross, keep them at 90-degree angles.
To convert dimmer for in-wall installation
Carefully remove rotary knob and install insert plate on top of dimmer as
shown. Secure with washer and hex nut. Dimmer can now be mounted into standard
switch box. Finish by installing a designer-style switch cover plate (sold
separately at most home improvement stores).
Installation tips:
- When dimmer is installed in smaller electrical boxes, create more space for wires by removing top mounting tab.
-
- Remove quick-connect terminal block for easier wire routing. Route wires with a terminal block then snap terminal block back into dimmer. Observe the polarity printed on the dimmer case and maintain same sequence on the terminal block while securing wires.
For better-LED brightness, keep voltage drop to a minimum
Voltage drop is a natural occurrence in all low voltage lighting systems. It
is the gradual decrease in voltage that occurs from your power supply to your
LED lighting. Voltage drop only becomes undesirable if you notice the
brightness in one area of your lighting is objectionable different than
another area. As a practical approach to installing LED lights, test your
lighting prior to fi nal installation. If voltage drop appears to be a concern,
use shorter lengths of DC power feed wires or switch to a thicker gauge wire
(lower AWG number). For an online voltage drop calculator, visit
