undesired operation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND
REGULATIONS.
WARNING:
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING:
TO AVOID OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THIS DEVICE AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, DO NOT
INSTALL TO CONTROL A RECEPTACLE, FLUORESCENT LIGHTING, OR A MOTOR - OR TRANSFORMER - OPERATED
APPLIANCE OTHER THAN APPROPRIATE LOW-VOLTAGE LIGHTING.
CAUTION (For Incandescent Only):
USE WITH INCANDESCENT OR 120V HALOGEN FIXTURES ONLY.
CAUTION (For Magnetic Low-Voltage Only):
1. USE WITH MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS, INCANDESCENT, OR 120V HALOGEN FIXTURES ONLY. USE A
LEVITON ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE DIMMER TO CONTROL ELECTRONIC (SOLID STATE) LOW-VOLTAGE
TRANSFORMERS.
2. WHEN A MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT IS OPERATED AT A DIM LEVEL, WITH ALL LAMPS INOPERATIVE, EXCESS
CURRENT MAY FLOW THROUGH THE TRANSFORMER. TO AVOID POSSIBLE TRANSFORMER FAILURE DUE TO
OVERCURRENT, USE A TRANSFORMER THAT INCORPORATES THERMAL PROTECTION OR A FUSE AT THE PRIMARY
WINDINGS.
OTHER CAUTIONS:
1. USE ONLY ONE (1) DIMMER PER LOAD. FOR REMOTE OPERATION, USE THE LEVITON REMOTE, CAT. NO. MSØØR-1.
DO NOT USE A 3-WAY SWITCH.
2. DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING OR CHANGING BULBS.
3.
USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY DEVICES
MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.
MULTI-GANG INSTALLATION:
When ganging dimmers, the side sections of the mounting strap
must be removed. Use pliers to carefully bend side sections back
and forth until they break off (see Figure 1). The side sections
dissipate heat, so removing them requires a derating of the
dimmer's capacity (see chart).
MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE (For Magnetic Low-Voltage Only):
Low-voltage dimmers are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum
bulb wattage is determined by the efficiency of the transformer in
the low-voltage lighting system. Transformer efficiencies will vary
from different manufacturers; consider 75% efficient as average.
Use the chart to determine maximum bulb wattage for typical
transformer efficiency ratings.
TO INSTALL:
1
. WARNING:
TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF
POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT
POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
2. Remove existing wallplate and switch or dimmer, if applicable.
3. Remove 3/4" (1.9 cm) of insulation from each circuit conductor.
Make sure that ends of conductors are straight.
4. Connect lead wires per appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM as
follows:
WARNING:
CONNECT A MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE
DIMMER ONLY TO THE PRIMARY (HIGH-VOLTAGE) SIDE OF
A MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER. Twist strands
of each lead tightly and, with circuit conductors, push firmly into
appropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on clockwise
making sure that no bare conductor shows below the wire
connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.
NOTE: For single pole applications, cap YELLOW lead with an
appropriate size wire connector. Secure connector with electrical
tape.
5. Carefully position all wires to provide room in outlet box for
dimmer. Mount dimmer into box with mounting screws supplied.
6. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse. Turn the dimmer ON by
pressing the upper half of the rocker. The GREEN ON/OFF LED
will turn OFF to indicate power to the dimmer (when the dimmer
is OFF, the LED is ON).
