FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device must not cause harmful interference, and (2) This
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause 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 MULTI-REMOTE
TM
, 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
(refer to Figure 1)
. The side sections dissipate heat, so removing
them requires a derating of the dimmer's capacity
(refer to 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
(see chart for allowable wire connector and number of conductor
combinations)
. 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 LED will turn OFF to indicate power to the dimmer (when the dimmer is OFF, the LED is ON).
NOTE:
This model incorporates a trim adjustment which will allow the installer to precisely set the low end of the
dimming range to suit each installation. This adjustment is preset at the factory and should require no further
adjustments for most installations. If adjustment is required proceed as follows, otherwise continue with step 9:
