To be installed by a certified electrician or other qualified person.

WARNING – To prevent severe shock or electrocution, always turn power OFF

at the service panel before installing this unit, working on the circuit, or

changing a lamp.

CAUTION – To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other

equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, or a motor-operated

appliance. Connect dimmers only in a 120VAC, 60 Hz circuit to control the

primary of a transformer-supplied incandescent load. Maximum VA rating of

dimmer applies to transformer input, not load on the transformer secondary.

Do not use dimmer with incandescent lamps whose power requirements

exceeds maximum power (stated in Watts) of the dimmer.

Do not use to control a solid-state transformer.

Use copper wire only.

DIRECTIONS

1. Disconnect power to circuit at the panel by removing fuse or turn circuit

breakers OFF before installing.

2. Remove wall plate and switch mounting screws, pull existing switch from

wall box.

3. Disconnect existing switch from circuit.

4. Connect dimmer as shown in the installation diagram with wire connectors

provided.

5. Install dimmer in wall box, with words on the dimmer right side up, using

mounting screws provided.

6. Attach wall plate, then restore power to the circuit.

NOTE: It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm during operation. A 50W

minimum load is required. 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.

DIMMER TYPES

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM (wiring is same for each dimmer type)

MULTIPLE GANGING OF CONTROLS

Any combination of dimmer models may be ganged together. Using vise or

heavy-duty pliers, remove the outer fins on either or both sides, as necessary,

at the break-off points on the thin metal line at the base of the third fin.

Dimmers can be ganged without removing fins by proper selection and

placement of outlet boxes. When fins are removed, de-rate the maximum load

according to the following De-Rating Table:

DIMMER MAXIMUM

FINS REMOVED

RATING LOAD

ONE SIDE TWO SIDES

1000VA 800W 600W 550W

600VA 450W 400W 350W

CAUTION : Sharp or jagged metal edges might be exposed where sections

were broken off. Use care when handling the dimmer after this operation.

ILLUSTRATION FOR GANGING

HOW TO CUT PLASTIC FACEPLATE:

If fins are removed for ganging, the faceplate must be adjusted to match.

You may either score the groove on the back of the faceplate thoroughly with a

razor sharp packing knife, or you may partially score the groove, then

complete the break with pliers.

TO CUT THE FACEPLATE WITH KNIFE ONLY:

1. Lay faceplate face down on soft clean cloth, on

a flat solid surface to preserve finish.

2. Run knife vertically throughout groove

repeatedly until plastic separates.

3. Dress rough edges using very fine-grained

sand paper.

TO CUT THE FACEPLATE USING PLIERS AND KNIFE:

1. Lay faceplate face down on soft clean

cloth, on a flat solid surface to preserve

finish.

2. Run knife vertically throughout groove

several times.

3. Hold faceplate firmly in one hand and use

pliers to bend the flat edge of the fin away

from the groove. Behind the opposing ends first, then make a final break at

the middle, separating fin from faceplate.

4. Dress rough edges using very fine-grained sand paper.
