INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PK-93182-10-00-2B
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver
Electrical Tape
Pliers
Pencil
Cutters
Ruler
Color Change Option:
If a color change kit is provided with your device, proceed with the
following step if you need to change the color. Otherwise, proceed with
the "Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices" section.
Changing the color of your Dimmer
Your Dimmer includes color options. To change color of frame, proceed
as follows:
Move the slider up or down one full cycle to automatically engage the
slider control mechanism.
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:
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. The side sections
dissipate heat, so removing them requires a derating of the dimmer's
capacity (refer to chart).
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER
NOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed.
WARNING:
To avoid fire, shock, or death; TURN OFF
POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off
before wiring!
Step 2
Removing existing switch:
Remove existing
wallplate and switch mounting screws. Carefully pull switch
from wall box. DO NOT remove wires attached to the switch
at this time.
Identifying your wiring application (most
common):
NOTE: If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble any of
these configurations, consult a qualified electrician.

3-Way:
Look at the back of your switch.
If there are 3 wires connected to
three screw terminals (not
including a green or bare copper
wire used for grounding), you
have a 3-Way switch. Note that
one of the screw terminals will
usually be a different color
