Preparing and connecting wires:

This dimmer can be wired using side wire terminal

screws or through backwire openings. Choose

appropriate wire stripping speciﬁcations accordingly.

WIRING DIMMER:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

• Line Hot wall box wire to terminal screw marked “BK”.

• Load wall box wire to terminal screw marked “RD”.

• Dimmer terminal screw marked “YL/RD” should have Red

insulation label afﬁxed.

NOTE: If insulating label is not afﬁxed to terminal screw marked

“YL/RD”, use electrical tape to cover.

• ProceedtoStep5.

Step 4a cont’d

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 as the common (Line or Load) in both the

dimmer wall box and remote wall box.

WIRING DIMMER:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE:WhenusingthecoordinatingremotewithoutLEDs,thedimmer

can be installed on either the Line or Load side of the 3-way circuit.

NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes

cannot exceed 300 ft.

• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

• Line Hot (common) wall box wire identiﬁed (tagged) when removing

old switch to terminal screw marked “BK”.

• First Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked “RD” (note

wire color). This traveler from the dimmer must go to the terminal

screw on the remote marked “RD”.

• Remove Red insulating label from terminal screw marked “YL/RD”.

• Second Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked “YL/RD”

(note wire color). This traveler from the dimmer must go to the

terminal screw on the remote marked “YL/RD”.

WIRING COORDINATING REMOTE:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to last remote is 300ft.

• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

• Load wall box wire identiﬁed (tagged) when removing old switch to

terminal screw marked “BK”.

• First Traveler wall box wire (note color as above) to terminal

screw marked “RD”. This traveler from the remote must go to the

terminal screw on the dimmer marked “RD”.

• Second Traveler wall box wire (note color as above) to terminal

screw marked “YL/RD”. This traveler from the remote must go to

the terminal screw on the dimmer marked “YL/RD”.

• Remote terminal screw marked “WH” should have White insulation

label afﬁxed.

NOTE: If insulating label is not afﬁxed to terminal screw marked

“WH”, use electrical tape to cover.
