Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION: Use only with permanently-installed 120 V incandescent 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.
2. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
3. Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.
4. When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox then NEC
® 2002, 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 Lutron's Claro ® or Fassada TM series wallplates.
5. For new installations, install a test switch before installing the dimmer.
6. Protect dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling.
7. Recommended minimum load is 40 Watts
8. It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch during operation.
9. Clean dimmer with a
soft damp cloth only . Do not use any chemical cleaners.

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). If pre-installed, remove the Lutron wallplate and wallplate
adapter from dimmer. Using pliers, bend side section 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.
