INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PK-92950-10-00-02D
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Philips Screwdriver Electrical Tape
Pliers Pencil
Cutters Ruler
Changing the color of your Dimmer:
Your Dimmer includes two color options. The Dimmer ships with the
White frame attached. To change color of frame, proceed as follows:
Move the slider up or down one full cycle to automatically engage the
slider control mechanism.
Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices:
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:
MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION:
NOTE: You only need to remove side sections if installing with other
dimmers or if it does not fit in wall box – not when installing with
mechanical switches.
When installing more than one dimmer in the same location, the side
sections of the mounting strap must be removed. Use pliers to carefully
bend side sections back and forth until they break off. The side sections
dissipate heat, so removing them sometimes requires a derating of the
dimmer's capacity (refer to chart).
MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE:
Mark 10™ Powerline dimmers are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The
maximum bulb wattage is determined by the efficiency of the Mark 10™
Powerline ballast. The tables on the next page show the maximum
number of ballasts that can be connected to a single dimmer for different
Mark 10™ Powerline ballasts. Also note that the table on the next page
shows maximum ballasts for multi-gang installations.
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER
NOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed.
WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, or death; TURN OFF
POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off
before wiring!
Removing existing switch: Remove existing
wallplate and switch mounting screws. Carefully pull switch
from wall box. DO NOT remove wires attached to the switch
at this time.
Step 2
Identifying your wiring application (most
common):
NOTE: If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble any of
these configurations, consult a qualified electrician.

Single-Pole:
Look at the back of your switch.
If there are 2 wires connected to
two screw terminals (not
including a green or bare copper
wire used for grounding), you
have a Single-Pole switch.
3-Way:
Look at the back of your switch.
If there are 3 wires connected to
three screw terminals (not
including a green or bare copper
wire used for grounding), you
have a 3-Way switch. Note that
one of the screw terminals will
usually be a different color
(black) or labeled Common. Tag
that wire with electrical tape to
identify.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS :
•To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.
•To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, use only with the appropriate
Advance Transformer 120/277V Mark 10™
Powerline electronic ballasts for controlling the specific fluorescent
lamps.
• When retrofitting Mark 10™
Powerline dimming ballasts into fixtures that originally had Instant Start ballasts, the
sockets MUST be replaced with Rapid Start sockets to allow proper dimmer operation and prevent damage to the
dimmer ballast. Refer to the instructions provided with the ballast.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• Use only one (1) dimmer in a 3- or 4-way circuit. The switch(es) will turn the light on at the brightness level
selected at the dimmer.
• Lighting fixture and dimmer must be grounded.
• Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing fixture.
• Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked CO/ALR or CU/AL.
