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 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.
• 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 an electrician.
• Use this device with copper or copper clad wire only.
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.
• Use with compatible dimmable LED, CFL bulbs, incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only.
For a complete 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.
• For use with 75 degree C minimum field wiring.
Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices
If installing the dimmer in a single device application, proceed to the
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER section. If installing multiple dimmers is a
multi-gang wallbox configuration proceed as follows:
MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION:
In incandescent applications with multiple dimmers in the same wallbox
a reduction of the dimmer's capacity is required. Refer to the chart below
for the maximum load per dimmer. No derating is required for use in
dimmable CFL or dimmable LED multi-device installations.
