Leviton 6613-PL - User Manual

Single Pole (One location) or 3-Way (Multi-location)
Magnetic Low-Voltage Slide Dimmer
120VAC, 60Hz
Cat. No. 6613-PL, 600VA
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DI-00X-06613-02A
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Philips 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:
In multi-dimmer installations, the reduction of the dimmer’s capacity is
required. Refer to the chart for maximum load per dimmer.
MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE:
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.
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.

Single-Pole:
Look at the back of your switch.
If there are 2 wires connected to
two screw terminals (not
including a green or bare copper
wire used for grounding), you
have a Single-Pole switch.
3-Way:
Look at the back of your switch. If there
are 3 wires connected to three screw
terminals (not including a green or bare
copper wire used for grounding), you
have a 3-Way switch. Note that one of
the screw terminals will usually be a
different color (black) or labeled
Common. Tag that wire with electrical
tape to identify.
WARNINGS:
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.
• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, do not install to control a
receptacle, fluorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer-operated appliance.
• 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.
CAUTIONS:
• When magnetic low-voltage circuits are 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.
• Use only one (1) dimmer in a 3- or 4-way circuit. The switch(es) will turn the light on at the brightness level
selected at the dimmer.
• Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing fixture.
• Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked CO/ALR or CU/AL.

Summary

Safety Warnings and Precautions

General Warnings

Do not install to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting, motors, or transformer-operated appliances.

Transformer Caution

Use transformers with thermal protection or primary winding fuses to avoid failure due to excess current.

Installation Guide

Tools Required for Installation

List of tools needed: screwdriver, electrical tape, pencil, ruler, pliers, and cutters.

Installing Dimmer in Multi-Device Applications

Capacity reduction is required for multi-dimmer installations; refer to load chart.

Maximum Bulb Wattage Calculation

Determine maximum bulb wattage based on transformer efficiency, typically 75%.

Step 1: Power Off

Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse and verify power is off before wiring.

Step 2: Remove Existing Switch

Carefully pull the existing switch from the wall box without disconnecting wires.

Step 3: Identify Wiring Application

Determine if the wiring is for a Single-Pole or 3-Way switch configuration.

Step 4: Prepare Wires

Disconnect wires from the old switch and strip 5/8" insulation from wall box wires.

Step 5 a: Single-Pole Wiring

Wiring instructions for a single-pole application using the dimmer.

Step 5 b: 3-Way Wiring

Wiring instructions for a 3-way application using the dimmer.

Step 6: Test Dimmer

Test dimmer operation before mounting by checking light response to slider.

Step 7: Mount Dimmer

Position wires, mount the dimmer into the wall box, and attach the wallplate.

Step 8: Restore Power

Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse to complete the installation.

Operation and Troubleshooting

Dimmer Operation

Controls for turning lights on/off and adjusting brightness levels.

Indicator Light Function

The indicator light illuminates when the load is OFF to aid visibility.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Addresses issues like flickering lights or lights not turning on.
