Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. Use "AY-" or "TG-" models only with permanently-installed 120 V~ incan-
descent or halogen fixtures. To avoid overheating and possible damage to
other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting
fixtures, motor-driven appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances. Use
"AYLV-" models only with core and coil (magnetic) low-voltage transform-
ers. To control solid state (electronic) low-voltage transformers, use Lutron
®
electronic low-voltage dimmers.
2. Operating magnetic low-voltage fixtures with all lamps inoperative or
removed may result in current flow in excess of normal levels. To avoid
possible transformer overheating and premature failure, Lutron strongly
recommends the following:
•Do not operate magnetic low-voltage fixtures without operative lamps in
place.
•Replace burned-out lamps immediately.
•Use magnetic low-voltage fixtures with thermal protection or fused pri-
mary windings to prevent transformer failure due to excess current.
3. When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox then the NEC
® 2008, Article
404.9 allows a dimmer without a grounding connection to be installed as a
replacement, as long as a plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used. For this type
of installation, cap or remove the green ground wire on the dimmer and use an
appropriate wallplate such as Fassada
® series wallplates by Lutron .
4. Recommended minimum load is 40 W.
5. Protect dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling.
6. Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
7. Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.
8. For new installations, install a test switch before installing the dimmer.
9. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
10.Clean dimmer with a soft damp cloth only . Do not use any chemical cleaners.
11. Do not use with compact fluorescent lamps.

Screw Terminals: Tighten securely. Screw
terminals are for use with solid copper wire
only. For aluminum wire, consult an electri-
cian. DO NOT use stranded or twisted wire.

Multigang Installations
When installing more than one control in the same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove all inner side sections prior to wiring
(see below). Using pliers, bend side sections up and down until they break off. Repeat for each side section to be removed.
Removal of dimmer side sections reduces maximum load capacity. Refer to chart below for maximum dimmer capacity.
Each control has
inside section
removed.
Do not remove outer
side sections.

• Connect the bare copper or green ground
wire to the green ground screw on the dim-
mer (see Important Note 3).
• Connect one of the remaining wires removed
from the switch to the different-colored
screw (or backwire hole) on the dimmer.
• Connect the remaining wire removed from
the switch to the screw (or backwire hole)
opposite the different-colored screw on the
dimmer.

Trim or strip wallbox wires to the length indicated by the strip gauge on the back of
the dimmer. Use the same procedure to wire your new dimmer as was used with
the old switch.

Important Note: Your wall switch may have two wires attached to the same screw
(see illustrations below for examples). Tape these two wires together before
disconnecting. When wiring, connect wires to dimmer the same way they were connected
to the switch.
Turn power ON at circuit breaker (or replace fuse).
Form wires carefully into the wallbox, mount and align dimmer.
Replace the wallplate.
One wire in the back-
wired hole and one to
the screw.

• Connect the tagged wire removed from the
switch to the different-colored (COMMON)
screw (or backwire hole) on the dimmer. If
two wires were taped together, connect one
wire to the screw and insert the other wire
into the backwire hole near the screw.
• Connect one of the remaining wires removed
from the switch to either of the remaining
screws (or backwire holes) on the dimmer.
• Connect the last wire removed from the

Helpful Hint: If you are replacing a single-pole
switch with a 3-way or single-pole/3-way dim-
mer, the screw on the same side as the differ-
ent-colored screw is not used. Tighten the
screw securely.
