wires in switchbox as follows:
•
1/2 in for 10, 12 and 14 AWG (12 mm for 4, 2.5

Using the wire connectors provided:
•
Connect the green or bare ground wire on
the dimmer to the green or bare copper
ground wire in the wallbox.
Note:
When “no
grounding means” exists within the wallbox,
then the NEC
®
2008, Article 404.9 allows a
switch without a grounding 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
from the switch and use an appropriate wallplate
such as a Nova
®
series wallplate by Lutron.
• Connect one of the black wires on the dimmer to
either one of the wires removed from the switch.
Be sure no bare wire is exposed.
• Connect the other black wire on the dimmer to
