Important Notes
11.. Caution:: To avoid overheating and possible damage to
other equipment, do not use dimmers to control recep-
tacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, motor-operated or
transformer-supplied appliances.
22..Use dimmers with 120V incandescent lighting fixtures
only. Do not use with low-voltage transformers.
33..Install in accordance with all national and local electrical
codes.
44..When there is no ground wire or a way to connect the
wallbox to ground within the wallbox then the NEC®
2002, Article 404-9 allows a dimmer without a ground-
ing 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 Fassada®series wallplates.
55..Do not paint dimmers or wallplates.
66..The total wattage of all light bulbs controlled by each
dimmer must be between 50 and 600 watts.
77..Dimmers work with most incandescent light bulbs.
Dimmers may not work with dioded light bulbs (Sylvania
CAPSYLITE DESIGNER 16TM or Philips PAR-16TM).
88..Operate system in temperatures between 0 °C
(32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
99..Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal
operation.
1100..Recommended wallbox depth is 2 1/2" minimum.
1111..single-pole circuit three-way circuit
four-way circuit
1122..When combining dimmers in the same wallbox, the
dimmer’s load capacity must be reduced.
1133..Wire Preparation
Trim or strip wallbox wires to the length
indicated by the strip gauge on the back
of the dimmer.
Push-in: Insert wires fully. Use #14 AWG
solid copper wire only. For aluminum
wire, consult an electrician. DO NOT use
stranded or twisted wire.
Screw Terminals: Tighten securely. Screw
terminals are for use with solid copper
wire only. For aluminum wire, consult an
electrician. DO NOT use stranded or twisted wire.
1144..Service Switch
Pull service switch out to open position to replace light
bulbs. Push service switch in after new bulb is
installed.
