TOGGLE PRESET MAGNETIC LOw VOLTAGE DIMMERS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
P/N 340915
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To be installed by a certified electrician or other qualified person.
These Dimmers are for use with Magnetic Low Voltage Incandescent and
Halogen lamps.
wARNING – To prevent severe shock or electrocution, always turn power
off at the service panel before installing this unit, working on the circuit, or
changing a lamp.
Caution – To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other
equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, a fluorescent light or bulb or
a motor-operated appliance. The maximum VA rating of this dimmer applies
to the transformer input, not the load on the transformer secondary.
• D o not use with inoperative or missing lamps. Use of this dimmer with
inoperative or missing lamps can create an over current condition which
may damage the transformer. Use transformers that incorporate thermal
protection of a fuse at the primary windings.
• C onnect only in a 120VAC, 60Hz circuit to control the primary of a
transformer supplied incandescent.
• A 50VA minimum load is required.
• Use copper wire only.
Directions
1. D isconnect power to circuit by removing fuse or turn circuit breakers OFF
before installing.
2. R emove wall plate and switch mounting screws, pull existing switch from
wall box.
3. D isconnect existing switch from circuit. 3-way installation: Identify the
"Common" wire (wire connected to the terminal marked common or odd
colored terminal). For new installation identify wire connected to power
source or to the load.
4. C onnect dimmer as shown in the installation diagram using #12 or #14
AWG stranded or solid copper conductors. Strip wire using gauge on back
of device.

5. I nstall dimmer in wall box, with word "TOP" on the strap right side up, using
mounting screws provided.
6. A ttach wall plate and then restore power to circuit.
7. D immer may need to be adjusted to accommodate low voltage transformer.
To do this, DISCONNECT POWER FROM CIRCUIT, and remove the Wallplate.
Use a small insulated, flat tipped screwdriver to adjust the trim pot, which
is accessible via the slot (marked "CALIBRATION") provided on the strap.
Turn down to increase the minimum light intensity setting. Next, mount
the Wallplate back, restore the power and test. Repeat above as necessary.
Note: Never adjust trim pot when circuit is live.

NOTE: This device should be installed after sheet rocking and painting are
completed.
NOTE: It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm during operation. Use a
separate neutral wire for each phase of a multiphase system containing a
dimmer, and for high power single phase applications where flickering is
present.
MULTIPLE GANGING OF DIMMERS AND OTHER DEVICE
Any combination of dimmer models and other devices may be ganged
together. Break off tabs are provided on the 1100VA dimmer straps for multi-
gang applications. Pry off the tabs using pliers before installation, as shown in
the figure. De-rate the maximum load according to the following table:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. A ll dimmers can be damaged by improper wiring. Check for short circuits
prior to installing the dimmer.
Procedure for short circuit check:
a. D isconnect power to circuit by removing fuse or turn circuit breakers OFF.
b. I nstall a switch instead of the dimmer. Turn the switch to the "ON"
position.
c. T urn power ON. If the circuit breaker trips, a short is present. If the light
fails to turn ON and OFF with the switch, the wiring may be incorrect.
d. Correct wiring, if necessary and retest.
e. I nstall the dimmer only after the light operates properly with the switch.
2. P rotect from dirt and dust. The dimmer can be damaged from contam i nates
encountered during the construction process. If lighting is required prior to
the construction process completion, then a switch should be temporarily
installed in place of the dimmer. The dimmer should not be installed until
the construction process is complete.
Any dimmer damaged due to improper installation is not covered under
warranty.
