Before Installation
CAUTION: Check new installations for short
circuits BEFORE installing the fluorescent
dimmer. Turn power OFF at circuit breaker
or fusebox. Connect a standard switch as
shown in the Test Switch Wiring Diagram.
Turn power ON. If lights do not come on, a
break in the wiring exists. If the breaker
trips, there is a short in the wiring. If
necessary, turn power OFF and correct any
wiring problems, recheck the circuit, then
proceed to Installation. Warranty is void if
dimmer is turned ON in a shorted circuit.
Installation
1. WARNING: Turn power OFF at circuit
breaker or remove fuse.
2. Remove test switch from wallbox.
3. Strip insulation or trim wires to expose
1/2" or 5/8" of wire:
1/2" for 10, 12, and 14 gauge.
5/8" for 16 and 18 gauge.
Remove all inner side sections
(shaded) in any ganged installation.
Do not remove outer side sections.
Multigang Installations
Dimmers can be grouped together or with
standard switches under a common
