Cat. No. TGIØ6-1L, 600W (Lighted)
Cat. No. TGI1Ø-1L, 1000W (Lighted)
120VAC, 60Hz
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PK-93202-10-00-2A
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver
Electrical Tape
Pliers
Pencil
Cutters
Ruler
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: 600W devices do not have break-off side sections. Derating is
still required in multi-gang installation (see chart).
For 1000W devices: 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). The side
sections dissipate heat, so removing them requires a derating of the
dimmer's capacity (see chart).
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.
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!
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.
