1. Caution: To avoid overheating and possible
damage to other equipment, do not use
dimmers to control receptacles, fluorescent
lighting fixtures, motor-operated or
transformer-supplied appliances.
2.
Caution: Use dimmers with 120V incandescent
lighting fixtures only. Do not use with low-voltage
transformers.
3. Install in accordance with all national and local
electrical codes.
4. When there is no ground wire or way to connect
the wallbox, to ground within the wallbox the
NEC
®
2002, Article 404-9 allows a dimmer without
a grounding connection to be installed as a
replacement, (as long as a plastic, noncom-
bustible wallplate is used). For this type of instal-
lation, cap or remove the green ground wire on
the dimmer, and use an appropriate wallplate
(such as Lutron’s Fassada
®
series wallplates).
5. Do not paint dimmers or wallplates.
6.
Cleaning Instructions: Clean with a soft, damp
cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
7. The total wattage of all light bulbs controlled by
each dimmer must be between 50 and 600 watts.
8. Dimmers work with most incandescent light
bulbs. Dimmers may not work with dioded
light bulbs (Sylvania Designer 16
TM or
Philips PAR-16
TM).
9. Operate system in temperatures between
0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
10. Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during
normal operation.
11. Recommended wallbox depth is 2 1/2” minimum.
13. When combining dimmers in the same
wallbox, the dimmer’s load capacity
must be reduced.
Follow the load capacities in table below
for multi-ganged dimmers.
