Color Change Procedure / Procedimiento de Cambio de Color /
Procédure de Changement de Couleur
Directions
1. If a color change kit was provided, and a different color is desired, see the Color Change Procedure,
if not proceed to step #2.
2. Disconnect power to circuit by removing fuse or turn circuit breakers OFF before installing.
3. Remove wall plate and switch mounting screws, pull existing switch from wall box.
4. Disconnect existing switch from circuit. For 3-way installations: 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.
5. Connect dimmer as shown in the installation diagram using #12 or #14 AWG stranded or solid
copper conductors. Strip wire using gauge on back of device.

6. Install dimmer in wall box, with word “TOP” on the strap right side up, using mounting screws
provided.
7. Attach wall plate and then restore power to circuit.
8. Dimmer may require adjustment to the low end setting to reliably start and/or remove flickering
in bulbs. To adjust, DISCONNECT POWER FROM CIRCUIT, and remove the Wallplate. Use a small
insulated, flat tipped screwdriver to adjust the trim pot wheel, which is accessible via the slot
(marked “CALIBRATION”) provided on the strap. Turn the wheel downwards to increase the
minimum light intensity setting and turn the wheel upwards to decrease light intensity. Next,
install the Wallplate, restore the power and test. Repeat above as necessary.
Note: Never adjust trim pot when circuit is live. To re-calibrate
settings turn the trim pot wheel all the way up towards the “-” sign and
incrementally progress to “+” sign until flickering is removed (refer to
Step 8 above).
Note: This device should be installed after sheet rocking and painting
are completed.
Note: It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm during operation. 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.
Any combination of dimmers and other devices may be ganged together.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. 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 circuit by removing fuse or turn 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.
