DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The ADFE-16A Fluorescent Architectural Dimmer is designed to replace a

standard light switch or dimmer. To dim the connected load move the slider

down; to brighten the connected load move the slider up. Press the top of the

ON/OFF button to turn the connected load ON. Press the bottom until it clicks

to turn OFF. The load will turn back ON to the preset light level.

Caution:

- Use only with dimming ballasts shown on the “List of Compatible

Ballasts” on the other side of this page.

- To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other

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

applicance, or a transformer-supplied appliance.

Important Notes

1. Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.

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

3. Protect the dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling.

4. Check new installations for short circuits prior to installing the dimmer.

- Disconnect power to the circuit by removing the fuse or turning the circuit

breakers OFF.

- Install a switch instead of the dimmer. Turn the switch to the ON position.

- Restore power to the circuit. If the circuit breaker trips, a short is

present.

- Operate the switch. If the light fails to turn ON and OFF with the switch,

the wiring may be incorrect.

- Correct wiring if necessary and retest.

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

5. To ensure full lamp life and optimum dimmer performance, the lamp

must be operated at full intensity for 100 hours prior to dimming. Refer to

individual lamp manufacturers for more information.

Derating

No derating is required for multigang installations.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING

WARNING

Disconnect power to the wall switch box by turning OFF

the circuit breaker or removing the fuse from the

circuit before installing the ADFE-16A, replacing

lamps, or doing any electrical work.

1. Prepare the switch box

After the power is turned OFF at the circuit

breaker box, remove the existing wall plate

and mounting screws. Pull the old switch out

from the wall box.

2. Identify the type of circuit

You may connect the ADFE-16A to a single

pole or multi-way circuit. If you are unable

to clearly identify some or all of the wires

mentioned in this manual, you should consult

with a qualifi ed electrician.

In a 3-way circuit (Fig. 2) two traveler wires connect to both switches. Another

wire provides power from the circuit box to one of the switches. A wire

connects from one switch to the load. A ground wire may also be connected to

a ground terminal on the old switches.

Caution – For your safety: Connecting a proper ground wire to the dimmer

provides protection against electrical shock in the event of certain fault

conditions. If a proper ground is not available, consult with a qualifi ed

electrician before continuing installation.

3. Prepare the Wires

Tag the wires currently connected to the existing switch

so that they can be identifi ed later. Disconnect the wires.

Make sure the insulation is stripped off of the wires to

expose their copper cores to the length indicated by the

“Strip Gage” in Fig. 3 (approx. ½ inch).

4. Wire the dimmer

Connect the wires to the fl ying leads on the ADFE-16A dimmer(s) as

indicated in either step 4a or 4b.

4a. Single Pole Circuit: Wiring one ADFE-16A (Fig. 4)

• Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND wire from the circuit

to the green wire on the dimmer.

• Connect the power wire from the circuit (HOT) to the blue wire on

the dimmer.

• Connect the neutral wire to the white wire on the dimmer.

• Connect the black wire on the ballast to the red wire on the dimmer.

• Connect the orange wire (dimmed hot) on the ballast to the yellow wire on

the dimmer.

• The remaining blue wire is not used in a single pole circuit.

4b. 3-way wiring (Fig. 5)

• Note: Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.

• Note: The dimmer must be wired on the load side. The 3-way switch must be

wired on the line side.

Warning: If the dimmer is wired in any other confi guration, the air gap will be

lost and risk of shock or electrocution will exist when servicing the lamp.

• Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND wire from the circuit

to the green wire on the dimmer.

• Connect one of the blue wires on the dimmer to the switch.

• Connect the remaining blue wire to the switch.

• Connect the neutral wire to the white wire on the dimmer.

• Connect the black wire on the ballast to the red wire on the dimmer.

• Connect the orange wire (dimmed hot) on the ballast to the yellow wire on

the dimmer.

5. Remove the center part of the wallplate by placing

a small fl at head screwdriver into one of the four

slots located at the top and bottom of the wallplate.

Gently twist a half turn until the plate pops off.

6. For single gang installations, put all the new

switches into their wall boxes. Position the dimmer

with the slider above the ON/OFF button. Use the

captive screws on the mounting strap to secure the

switches to their wall boxes. Continue to step 7.

For multi-gang installations, select the appropriate

mounting confi guration and install into the wallbox

as explained in the multi-gang installation sections.

7. Restore power to the circuit. Turn ON the breaker or replace the fuse.

8. Attach the cover plates.

MULTIGANG INSTALLATION  FINS ARE NOT REMOVED

Multiple controls can be installed in a common wallbox or a series of inter-

connected wallboxes. When ganging any combination of narrow and wide controls,

place all narrow controls on one end and all wide controls on the other end.

Note: A 3-gang installation of narrow dimmers is shown in Fig. 9. Follow the same

steps for any combination of narrow and wide dimmers.

1. Select the correct wall box size from the Table below.

WALLPLATE LABELING

The wallplates contain a label holding slot. A 0.33” x 1.5” label can be printed

from an Avery® standard template: Divider tab inserts 8-Tabs or equivalent.

Install the label following these steps:

1. Disconnect power to the circuit

by removing the fuse or turning

the circuit breakers OFF.

2. Remove the wallplate by placing

a small fl at head screwdriver

into one of the four slots located

at the top and bottom of the

wallplate. Gently twist a half

turn until the plate pops off.

3. Slide the label in from the back

side of the wallplate.

SETUP

No adjustments are required. The minimum light level is calibrated at the

factory and does not normally require adjustment. If the lamp drops out or

fl ickers at the minimum dimming level, there may be an installation error.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Lights are flickering

• Lamp has a bad connection.

• Check wire connection to make sure they are secured fi rmly.

• There may be a circuit wiring issue. You should always use a separate

neutral wire for the circuit connected to the dimmer. If two 120V hots

from the breaker box share the same neutral and one of them has a very

large load, it could cause a voltage drop on the other hot. This can cause

fl ickering.

Light does not turn ON

• Check to see if the circuit breaker or fuse has tripped.

• Check to see if the lamp is burned out.
