WIRING INFORMATION

IMPORTANT NOTES Read the following before installation:
• Requirements for wire strip length and wire connections.
WIRE NUT USAGE CHART

• Use a separate neutral wire for each phase of a multiphase system

containing a dimmer, and for high power single phase applications where

flickering is present.

• All dimmers can be damaged by improper wiring. Check for short circuits

prior to installing the dimmer.

Procedure for short circuit check:

a. Disconnect power to the circuit by removing fuse or turning circuit

breakers OFF.

b. Install a switch instead of the dimmer. Turn the switch to the “on” position.

c. Turn power ON. If the circuit breaker trips, a short is present. If the light

fails to turn ON and OFF with the switch, the wiring may be incorrect.

d. Correct wiring, if necessary and retest.

e. Install the dimmer only after the light operates properly with the switch.

• Protect from dirt and dust. The dimmer can be damaged from

contaminates encountered during the construction process. If lighting is

required prior to the construction process completion, then a switch should

be temporarily installed in place of the dimmer. The dimmer should not be

installed until the construction process is complete.

• Any dimmer damaged by improper installation is not covered under warranty.

• It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm during operation.

• Cleaning Instructions: Wipe dimmer with a damp, clean cloth.

DO NOT clean the dimmer with chemicals or cleaning solutions.

SINGLE GANG INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Disconnect power to circuit by removing fuse or turn

circuit breakers OFF before installing.

2. For existing installations: Remove wall plate and

switch mounting screws, pull existing switch from wall

box. For new installations: Install a 1-gang wall-box.

3. Disconnect existing switch from circuit.

3-way installation: Identify the “COMMON” wire (wire

connected to the terminal marked common or odd

colored terminal). For “new” installation identify wire

connected to power source or to the load.

4. Connect dimmer as shown in the wire diagram with

appropriate sized wire connectors (see Table 1).

5. Install dimmer in wall box, with the word “TOP” up, using mounting screws provided.
6. Insert the label, attach the wall plate and restore power to the circuit.
7. Dimmer Set-up Adjustments:

a. Incandescent Dimmer: The Full ON voltage can be reduced to save energy

by reducing the Full ON light level. To change the Full ON light level, slide

the dimmer knob up to its full brightness. DISCONNECT POWER FROM

CIRCUIT, and remove the wall plate. Use a small insulated, screwdriver to

adjust the trim potentiometer. Turn down to decrease the Full ON light level.

b. Magnetic Low Voltage Dimmer: The minimum light level may need

adjustment for variations in low voltage transformers. To change the

minimum light level, slide the dimmer knob down to the lowest

brightness. DISCONNECT POWER FROM CIRCUIT, and remove the wall

plate. Use a small insulated, screwdriver to adjust the trim

potentiometer. Turn down to decrease the minimum light level.

c. Fan Speed Controls: The minimum fan speed level may need adjustment

for variations in fans. To change the minimum fan speed, slide the knob

down to the lowest level. DISCONNECT POWER FROM CIRCUIT, and

remove the wall plate. Use a small insulated, screwdriver to adjust the

trim potentiometer. Turn down to decrease the fan speed. Make certain

that the fan does not “stall” in any of the ON positions as overheating of

the fan may occur. DO NOT USE THE FAN PULL CHAIN TO CHANGE

SPEEDS AFTER THIS CONTROL IS INSTALLED. THE FAN PULL CHAIN

NEEDS TO REMAIN AT THE MAXIMUM SPEED.

d. Dehummer Fan Speed Controls: No adjustments required. Make certain

that the fan does not “stall” in any of the ON positions as overheating of

the fan may occur. DO NOT USE THE FAN PULL CHAIN TO CHANGE

SPEEDS AFTER THIS CONTROL IS INSTALLED. THE FAN PULL CHAIN

NEEDS TO REMAIN AT THE MAXIMUM SPEED.

e. Fluorescent Dimmer: The

minimum light level may need

adjustment for variations in

ballasts. To change the

minimum light level, slide the

dimmer knob down to the

lowest brightness. DISCONNECT

POWER FROM CIRCUIT, and

remove the wall plate. Use a

small insulated, screwdriver to

adjust the trim potentiometer.

Turn up to increase the

minimum light level.

MULTI GANG INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FINS ARE NOT REMOVED

NOTE: A 3-gang Installation of Narrow Dimmers is shown and described

below. Any Combination of Wide and Narrow Dimmers will gang the same way.
1. Select the correct box size from Table 2.
Table 2 – Wall-box Gang Requirements – FINS are NOT REMOVED

NOTE: The End Cap that is not between dimmers does not get removed.

3. Connect the dimmer as shown in the wiring diagram using the appropriate

sized wire connectors.

4. With the word “TOP” up, install dimmer in the wall box using mounting

screws provided (leave mounting screws “finger tight” at this point).

5. Attach the Couplers between the Dimmers with the screws that were

removed in step 2.

MULTIPLE GANGING OF DIMMERS

Any combination of dimmer models may be ganged together. Using a vise or heavy-duty pliers, remove the fins on either or both sides of the heat sink, as

necessary. Dimmers can be ganged without removing fins by proper selection and placement of outlet boxes (see Table 2 and

Table 3). When Dimmers are ganged, De-rate the maximum load according to the following De-Rating Table 1:
Table 1 – Derating for Multi-Gang Installations

2. Remove the End Cap between adjacent dimmers (2 screws for each End

Cap). Keep these screws as they will be needed at step #5.
