Approvals (according to type)
Note
(1)
Select “incandescent lamp” ( ) position on the front selector.
(2)
One transformer only. Power-up only with the lamp load connected.
(3)
Select “transformer” ( ) position on the front selector. Preferably, no more than 2 transformers.
(4)
One transformer only.
(5)
Select “CFL” ( ) position on the front selector, and set the appropriate minimum dimming value (dependent on lamp type).
(6)
Only if lamps or electronic transformers are compatible with leading edge method.
(7)
Only if lamps or electronic transformers are compatible with trailing edge method.
(8)
Specific 60Hz version available (see ordering information).
(9)
It is not recommended to mount more than one dimmer in the same wall box, unless adequate ventilation is provided or the lamp load is less
than 100W (15.51) or 50W (15.91).
(10)
With lamp load >300W (>75W for CFL or LED lamps), adequate ventilation must be provided - a gap of 9mm on both side of the dimmer is
suggested. Use the plastic separator type 022.09.
Not compatible with illuminated push-buttons.
