MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION

In multi-dimmer installations, the reduction of the dimmer’s capacity

may be required. Refer to the chart for maximum load per dimmer.

NOTE: No derating is required for LED or CFL bulb applications.

If installing Dimmer in a single device application, proceed with the

INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER section. If installing Dimmer in a

multi-device application, proceed as follows:

INSTALLING DIMMER BY ITSELF

OR WITH OTHER DEVICES

Changing the color of your Dimmer:

Your device may include color options. To change color of the face

proceed as follows:

INTRODUCTION

The next generation of lighting control technology is here with the new

Decora

Digital Dimmer. The Decora

Digital Dimmer is Universal and

compatible with LED, CFL or Incandescent bulbs.

Decora

Digital Devices are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens,

dining rooms, home ofﬁces, outdoor lighting or anywhere full control of

lighting is desired.

• Soft fade ON/OFF

• ON/OFF LED and Brightness level LED

• Three way communication

• Ease of installation – No new wiring

FEATURES

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

• TO AVOID FIRE SHOCK OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!

•

TO AVOID FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, DO NOT install to control a receptacle, a motor- or a transformer-operated appliance.

• To be installed and/or used in accordance with electrical codes and regulations.

• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.

•

The

Decora

DDL06 dimmer is not compatible with standard 3-Way or 4-Way switches. It must be used with a

Decora

digital remote for multi-location control,

such as the DD00R-DL

• Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

• Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.

• Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".

• Use this device WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE ONLY.

• Use with compatible dimmable LED, CFL or incandescent bulbs only. For a list of compatible LED and CFL bulbs refer to www.leviton.com.

• When multiple bulbs are used with 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.

Step 4b

WIRING MATCHING REMOTE

(wall box with Line Hot connection):

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE: The matching remote must be installed in a wall box with a Line

Hot connection and a Neutral connection. A Neutral wire to the matching

remote needs to be added as shown. If you are unsure about any part of

these instructions, consult an electrician.

NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot

exceed 300 ft (90m).

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

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

switch and First Traveler to remote terminal screw marked "BK".

• Second Traveler wall box wire from dimmer to remote terminal screw

marked "YL/RD" (note wire color). This traveler from the remote must

go to the terminal screw on the dimmer marked "YL/RD".

• Line Neutral wall box to remote terminal screw marked "WH".

WIRING DIMMER

(wall box with load connection):

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE: The dimmer must be installed in a wall box that has a Load

connection. The dimmer also requires a ground connection.

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

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

dimmer terminal screw marked "RD".

• First Traveler Line Hot to dimmer terminal screw marked "BK".

• Remove Red insulating label from terminal screw marked "YL/RD".

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

screw marked "YL/RD". This traveler from the dimmer must go to the

terminal screw on the remote marked "YL/RD".

NOTE: To synchronize LEDs between a Decora

digital remote and the

Decora

DDL06 dimmer, a dim up or dim down command must be pressed

on the remote.

• Proceed to Step 5.

WIRING DIMMER:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE: The DDL06 dimmer requires a ground connection.

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

• Line Hot wall box wire to Black dimmer terminal screw.

• Load wall box wire to Red dimmer terminal screw.

• Yellow/Red dimmer terminal screw should have Red insulation label

afﬁxed.

NOTE: If insulating label is not afﬁced to Yellow/Red dimmer terminal

screw, use electrical tape to cover.

• Proceed to step 5.

Single Pole Wiring Application:

Step 4a

• Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are

straight (cut if necessary).

• Remove insulation from each wire in the wall box as shown.

• For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4a.

• For 3-Way Matching Remote (no LEDs) Application, go to Step 4b.

Side Wire Connection

Side wire terminals accept

#14-12 AWG solid copper

wire only.

Back Wire Connection

Back wire openings accept

#14-12 AWG solid copper

wire only.

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.
