INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND

REGULATIONS.

WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT A QUALIFIED

ELECTRICIAN.

WARNING: TO AVOID OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THIS DEVICE AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, DO

NOT INSTALL TO CONTROL A RECEPTACLE, FLUORESCENT LIGHTING, A MOTOR- OR A TRANSFORMER-

OPERATED APPLIANCE OTHER THAN APPROPRIATE LOW-VOLTAGE LIGHTING.

CAUTION (For Electronic Low-Voltage Only):

1. USE WITH ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS ONLY. DO NOT USE TO CONTROL A MAGNETIC

LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER. USE A LEVITON MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE DIMMER TO CONTROL

MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS.

2. THIS DIMMER PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM OVERHEATING. AN EXCESSIVE LOAD APPLIED TO THE DIMMER

WILL CAUSE THE DIMMER TO OVERHEAT. THE EXCESS LOAD MUST BE REMOVED TO RESUME PROPER

OPERATION.

OTHER CAUTIONS:

1. USE ONLY ONE (1) DIMMER PER LOAD. THE SWITCH(ES) WILL TURN THE LIGHT ON AT THE BRIGHTNESS

LEVEL SELECTED AT THE DIMMER.

2. DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING FIXTURE OR CHANGING LAMPS.

3. USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY DEVICES

MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.

MULTI-GANG INSTALLATION:

When ganging dimmers, the side sections of the mounting strap

must be removed. Use pliers to carefully bend side sections

back and forth until they break off (see Figure 1). The side

sections dissipate heat, so removing them requires a derating of

the dimmer's capacity (see chart).

MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE (For Electronic Low-Voltage Only):

Low-voltage dimmers are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum

bulb wattage is determined by the efficiency of the transformer in

the low-voltage lighting system. Transformer efficiencies will vary

from different manufacturers; consider 90% efficient as average.

Use the chart to determine maximum bulb wattage for typical

transformer efficiency ratings.

TO INSTALL:

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN

OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST

THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!

2. Remove existing wallplate and switch, if applicable.

3. Remove 3/4¨ (1.9 cm) of insulation from each circuit

conductor. Make sure the ends of wires are straight.

4. Connect wires per appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

WARNING: CONNECT AN ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE

DIMMER ONLY TO THE PRIMARY (HIGH-VOLTAGE) SIDE

OF AN ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER.

NOTE: Common terminal of 3-Way Switch is usually

labeled and/or BLACK. Twist strands of each lead tightly

and, with circuit conductors push firmly into appropriate wire

connector. Screw connectors on clockwise making sure no

bare wires show below the wire connectors. Secure each

connector with electrical tape.

NOTE: For single pole applications, cap one BLACK lead with

an appropriate size wire connector. Secure connector with

electrical tape.

NOTE: This model incorporates a trim adjustment which will allow the installer to precisely set the low end of the dimming

range to suit each installation. This adjustment is preset at the factory and should require no further adjustments for most

installations. If adjustment is required proceed as follows, otherwise continue with step 8:

5. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse. Press the ON/ OFF push-button switch several times (see Figure 1). The GREEN LED will turn ON and OFF indicating power to the switch. Position the slider to the minimum brightness level (bottom of stroke). 6. The brightness adjustment is located at the top of the dimmer back cover (see Figure 1). Using a small, insulated screwdriver, rotate the trim adjustment until the desired level of minimum brightness is obtained. 7.
