Lutron DLLV-600PL Manual De Instrucciones

Magnetic Low-Voltage
Dimmer
Rated at 120 V~ 60 Hz
Important Notes
Please read before installing
1. Use dimmer with core and coil (magnetic) low-
voltage transformers. Contact Lutron to control
solid-state (electronic) low-voltage transformers. To
avoid overheating and possible damage to other
equipment, do not use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, or
motor-driven appliances.
2. Operating a dimmed low-voltage circuit with all lamps inoperative or removed may
• Easy-to-follow
result in current flow in excess of normal levels. To avoid possible transformer
overheating or failure, Lutron strongly recommends the following:
Instructions
• Do not operate without operative lamps in place.
• Instrucciones
• Replace burned out lamps as soon as possible.
Fáciles de Seguir
• To prevent premature failure due to overcurrent, use transformers with thermal
protection or fused primary transformer windings.
3. Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
P/N 030-919
4. Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.
5. When no "grounding means" exist within the wallbox then the NEC
allows a dimmer without a grounding connection to be installed as a replacement, as
long as a plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used. For this type of installation, cap or
remove the green ground wire on the dimmer and use an appropriate wallplate such as
Claro series wallplates by Lutron.
®
6. Protect dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling.
7. For new installations, install a test switch before installing the dimmer.
8. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
9. Clean dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
Multigang Installations
When combining dimmers in a wallbox, remove all inner side sections prior to wiring
(see diagram). Use pliers to bend side section up and down until it breaks off.
Repeat for each side section to be removed. Reduction of dimmer capacity is also
required. Refer to chart below for maximum dimmer capacity.
Dimmer No Sides 1 Side
Rating Removed Removed
600 VA 600 VA / 450 W 500 VA / 375 W
1000 VA 1000 VA / 800 W 800 VA / 650 W
Note: The maximum lamp wattage is determined by the efficiency of the
transformer, with 70%–85% as typical. For actual transformer efficiency, contact
either the fixture or transformer manufacturer. The total VA rating of the
transformer(s) shall not exceed the VA rating of the dimmer.
