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
500W if one side is removed
400W if both sides are removed

STEP 1
Turn OFF Power :

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

STEP 4A
Single Pole Wiring Application:

Connect wires as follows:
Screw wire nuts 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 insulating label connects to Load wire.
4. The 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 travelers.

STEP 5
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.
STEP 6
Turn ON Power:

STEP 7
Test Dimmer:

ON/OFF:
Press rocker switch to 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 Dimming Range (optional):
Adjust circuit dimming as follows:

1. Turn on the switch and move the slide dimmer to the lowest (leftmost) setting.

2. Rotate (Counter-Clockwise) the Sensitivity Dial all the way 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 achieved and the lights are not flickering.

Sensitivity Dial

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom: – Bulbs turn off while being dimmed. – Bulbs turn on at 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.
