HOW TO INSTALL ICON LAMP DIMMER
ICON Lamp Dimmer Installation Tips
• Don’t plug ICON Lamp Dimmer into an outlet controlled by a switch, because if the switch is
inadvertently turned off, ICON Lamp Dimmer won’t have power.
• Don’t use ICON Lamp Dimmer to control low-voltage lighting, fluorescent lights, or motors. These are
inductive loads, which ICON Lamp Dimmer is not designed to control. Use an ICON Appliance
Adapter instead.
• Don’t plug ICON Lamp Dimmer into a filtered power strip or AC line filter.
• Be sure the lamp you want to control is working and that the manual switch on the lamp itself is in the
ON position.
• If the lamp being controlled by ICON Lamp Dimmer already has its own built in dimmer, turn that
dimmer to full on and allow ICON Lamp Dimmer to control the lamp’s brightness.
Installing ICON Lamp Dimmer
1. For best INSTEON Network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two Access
Points.
2. Plug ICON Lamp Dimmer into an unswitched wall receptacle. The green Status LED on the side will
illuminate steadily.
3. Plug the lamp you want to control into the controlled outlet on the bottom of
ICON Lamp Dimmer.
4. The lamp you plugged in will turn on. If the lamp does not turn on, turn it on
manually using the switch on the lamp itself.
Caution
Read and understand these instructions before installing, and retain them for future reference.
ICON Lamp Dimmer is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the
United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. ICON Lamp Dimmer
is not designed nor approved for use on power lines other than 120V 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use ICON
Lamp Dimmer on non-approved powerlines may have hazardous consequences.
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, use ICON Lamp Dimmer to control 110V
incandescent lamps only. Dimming an inductive load, such as a fan or transformer, could cause damage to the dimmer,
the load device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not recommend dimming, DO NOT use ICON
Lamp Dimmer’s dimming capabilities or else use a non-dimming INSTEON module. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.
