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.
