1. Use with compatible dimmable LED, CFL bulbs, incandescent or 120V
halogen fixtures only.
2. To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical
codes and regulations.
3. If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an
electrician.
4. Use this device with copper or copper-clad wire only.
5. Use only one dimmer in a 3-or-4-way circuit. The other 3-or-4-way
switch(es) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the
dimmer.
6. When multiple bulbs are controlled by one dimmer, do not mix bulb
types. All bulbs shall be either LED, CFL or incandescent. Using the
same make/model of each bulb will enhance dimmer performance.
7. It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch during operation.
8. Clean dimmer with a piece of soft damp cloth only. Do not use any
chemical cleaners.
9. For indoor use only.

In incandescent multi-dimmer installations,
the reduction of the dimmer's capacity is
required. Refer to the chart for maximum
load per dimmer. No derating is required for
use in dimmable CFL or dimmable LED
multi-dimmer installations.

For Single-Pole Wiring, go to Step 5A.
For 3-Way Wiring, go to Step 5B.
1. Disconnect the wires from the switches, make sure that the ends of
the wires from the wall box are straight (cut if necessary).
2. Remove 0.79" (2cm) of insulation from each wire in the wall box.

INSTALL YOUR DIMMER
Remove wall plate and switch mounting screws. Carefully remove the
switch from the wall (do not remove wires).
TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH: TURN OFF POWER at
circuit breaker or fuse and test whether power is off before wiring or
servicing fixture!
NOTE: 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 as the COMMON (Line or Load) in both
the dimmer wall box and 3-way wall box.
Use terminal for 3-way or
more applications only.For
single pole application, DO
NOT remove this label.
