Fluorescent and LED Fixture Slide Dimmer

Single Pole (One location) or 3-Way (Multi-location)

 

Cat. No. IP710-LF 

1200VA-120VAC, 60Hz, 1500VA-277VAC, 60Hz

For Use with LED fixtures using 0-10V dimmable power supply/drivers,  

Advance Transformer Mark 7

®

 OSRAM Sylvania Quicktronic

®

 Helios™ or equivalent dimmable ballasts.

IMPORTANT:

 For 3-way applications, note that one of the 

screw terminals from the old switch being removed will usually 
be a different color (Black) or labeled Common. Tag that wire 
with electrical tape and identify as the common (Line or Load) 
in both the dimmer wall box and the standard 3-way switch 
wall box.The remaining two wires on the brass or lighter screw 
terminals of the old switch are the travelers.

Step 1

NOTE:

 If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble any of 

these configurations, consult an electrician.

WARNINGS:

• 

 TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING OR 
SERVICING FIXTURE!

•  

To avoid overheating

 and possible damage to this device and other equipment, use only with the appropriate LED 0-10V dimmable power supplies/drivers, 

Advance Transformer 120/277V Mark 7

®

 0-10V ballasts or OSRAM Sylvania Quicktronic

®

 Helios™ electronic ballasts. 

• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

CAUTIONS:

• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.
• Use only one (1) dimmer in a 3- or 4-way circuit. The switch(es) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.
• Lighting fixture and dimmer must be grounded.
• Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire.
•  To avoid damage to the product, 

DO NOT

 use disinfecting products, including foggers, sprays or other types of atomized cleaning agents. 

• 

DO NOT

 spray liquid onto the product.

• To clean use a damp cloth with mild soap.

Tools needed to install your Dimmer

• Slotted/Philips Screwdriver
• Pliers
• Pencil

• Electrical Tape
• Ruler
• Cutters

 Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices

If installing Dimmer in a single device application, proceed 
with the 

INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER

 section. If installing 

Dimmer in a multi-device application, proceed as follows:

Your Dimmer includes three color options. The Dimmer 
ships with the White frame attached. To change color of 
frame, proceed as follows:

Changing the color of your Dimmer

Push in side at tab 

to release

Line up tabs and 

press in side to attach

Note:

 Move slider on dimmer and slider on change kit 

to bottom of the slide bar prior to engaging. 

MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION:

NOTE: 

You only need to remove side sections if installing 

with other dimmers or if it does not fit in wall box – not 
when installing with mechanical switches.
When installing more than one dimmer in the same 
location, the side sections of the mounting strap must be 
removed. Use pliers to carefully bend side sections back 
and forth until they break off.

Bend back and 

forth to remove side section

Remove 

all inner

sections

Do not

remove 

outer 

side 

sections

WARNING:

 

TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH;

 

TURN 

OFF POWER

 at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is 

off before wiring!

Note:

 No derating is required in this mult-device 

installation as referenced in the following chart.

MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE:

0-10VDC ballasts are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum 
number of ballast per dimmer is based on the load VA rating. 
The maximum bulb wattage is determined by the efficiency of 
the ballast. 

NOTE:

 For additional switching capacity, use dimmers in 

conjuction with a Leviton OPP20 120/277V Power Pack.

For applications using Leviton's OPP20 Power Pack 
(Shown in Wiring Diagrams 2 & 4), the OPP20 switch 
ratings are as follows (refer to OPP20 Instruction Sheet 
for additional information):

OPP20 SWITCH RATINGS: 

20 Amps for 120 and 277 VAC Ballast

0-10 VDC Sink Current Rating:

 

28 mA maximum sink current. Contact your ballast 
manufacturer for the sink current consumption of the ballast.

INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER

Step 3A

Step 2

Preparing wires:

• Pull off pre-cut insulation from Dimmer leads.
•  Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are 

straight

 

(cut if necessary).

•  Remove 5/8" (1.6 cm) of insulation from each wire in the wall 

box (shown).

 For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4A.

• 

For 3-Way Application, go to Step 4B.

Single-Pole Wiring Application:

  Green dimmer Ground lead to Green or bare copper wire in 

wall box.

•  

Black dimmer lead to Line Hot wall box wire.

•  

Red dimmer lead without insulating label to Load wall box wire. 

•  

Remaining Red dimmer lead should have Red insulation  
label affixed.

NOTE: 

If insulating label is not affixed to Red lead, use a small 

wire nut or electrical tape to cap off.  

•  

Violet dimmer lead to (+) Violet connection on ballast. 

•  

Pink dimmer lead to (-) Pink or (-) Gray connection on ballast. 

•  Proceed to Step 4.

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM 1  
(shown on page 2) as follows:

Screw wire connectors on clockwise making sure no bare 
conductors show below the wire connectors. Secure each 
connector with electrical tape.

NOTE: 

Ensure that low-voltage wiring (for Pink and Violet 

connection of dimmer) is installed at wallbox that will house 
the IP710 Dimmer.

•  

Pink dimmer lead to (-) Pink or (-) Gray connection on 
ballast. 

•  Proceed to Step 4.

3-Way Wiring Application:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM 3  
(shown on page 2) as follows:

Screw wire connectors on clockwise making sure no bare 
conductors show below the wire connectors. Secure each 
connector with electrical tape.

NOTES:

 

• Dimmer can be installed on either the Load or Line side.

•  

Ensure that low-voltage wiring (for Pink and Violet 
connection of dimmer) is installed at wallbox that will 
house the IP710 Dimmer.

•  

For additional switching capacity, use dimmers in
