[2A] Wall installation: Remove the wires connected
to the existing simplex switch. Continue with step

[3] Connect the two disconnected wires to the two
leftmost terminals: [1] the (brown) “hot wire”, [2]
the (black) “switch wire”. Tighten the clamping
screws.
[4] Connect a (blue) neutral wire from the wall to
one of the two rightmost terminals [3] or [4]. It does
not matter which one you choose. Continue with
step [7].
In practice, there is often no neutral wire
present for a 2-way switch. If not, one must be
installed!
The existing switch must be a 2-way switch
(not a 3-way switch for control from two locations)!
Your wire colours may be different! If in doubt,
ask your installer!

Your wire colours may be different! If in doubt,
ask your installer!
[6] Attach the two wires from the lighting to the two
innermost connections (OUT) [2] and [3]. Tighten
the clamping screws.
It does not matter which wire is connected to [2]
and which is connected to [3]!

[9] Send an "on" signal with the transmitter; for
example: Press the desired on button of a COCO
remote control or wall switch, or activate a COCO
motion sensor. The indicator on the built-in
dimmer stops flashing as soon as the connection
has been made.
See the manual for the concerned transmitter.
The pictured transmitter is not always included.
Check the specifications on the packaging!
[10] To confirm, the built-in dimmer switches on
and off two times. The code of the transmitter is
stored in the memory of the receiver.
A maximum of 6 different transmitter codes can
be stored simultaneously.

[11A] Save the two screws so the built-in dimmer
can be mounted in the junction box if there is
enough room.
[11B] If there is too little room in the junction box,
break off the mounting tabs.
[12A] Cover the junction box with a blind cover
(available from your electrical retailer) once the
dimmer has been installed.

Remarks
Reminders
• This product is intended for installation in a wall or ceiling junction box and must be used in combination
with at least one COCO transmitter.
• This product is a dimmer/receiver: control lights (or other suitable devices) remotely, without
complicated wiring.
• To prevent interference, avoid placing multiple products close to each other. The minimum distance
between units should be approx. 50 cm.
• The wireless system can be expanded indefinitely with other COCO remote controls and/or receivers.
• Your COCO transmitter may have a special "group" button with which multiple receivers with different
settings can nonetheless be controlled simultaneously. Repeat [8 - 10] and press the "group" button on
the transmitter during step [9].
• During a power failure the codes remain in the memory.
• To delete the stored codes (resetting the memory): (1) Hold in the search mode button. (2) The
indicator begins flashing after approx. 7 seconds. (3) Release the search mode button. (4) Briefly press
the search mode button again. (5) To confirm, the connected device switches on and off two times.
• If the product does not work:
- Reset the memory (see previous line) and set the code from the transmitter again (repeat [8 - 10]).
- Check whether the indicator is lit; if not, there may be no power to the product or the fuse may have
blown.
- Fuse replacement: (1) Open the wall or ceiling junction box. (2) Pry open the fuse holder with a
screwdriver. (3) Press the fuse out of the holder (the fuse will be slightly blackened if it is blown). (4)
Press the new fuse into the holder. (5) Press the holder into the dimmer and close the wall or ceiling
junction box.
Safety instructions
• Do not connect any lights or other equipment that consume a total of less than 40 Watts or more than
300 Watts.

• The dimmer is exclusively intended for devices that are suitable for dimming. Connecting incorrect
equipment can cause defects, a short circuit and fire.
• The dimmer is suitable for the connection of 12 Volt halogen lighting with an electronic transformer as
long as the lighting is suitable for connection to a dimmer. If the transformer hums, this means that it is
not suitable for use with the COCO dimmer. If in doubt, consult your lighting supplier or installer.
• This product is protected with a 20 mm fuse rated at 1.6 A (T1.6A, H250V). An equivalent fuse must be
used during replacement.
• Do not expose this product to excessive heat, direct sunlight or moisture.
• Do not attempt to repair this product. If the product is damaged or if you are in doubt about the proper
operation, take the product back to the place of purchase.
• Do not use the product in damp areas. Clean the device with a clean cloth.
Wireless
• This product works using a radio signal that passes through walls, windows and doors. The range is
maximum 75 metres in the open air. The range indoors is strongly influenced by local conditions such
as concrete, glass and metals. On average, the indoor range is approximately 30 metres.
• New double glass often includes a thin metallic layer. This type of glazing (“HR glass”) allows most
visible light to pass through but has a negative impact on radio signals. If there is HR glass between the
transmitter and receiver, you should expect a significant reduction of the range of the wireless signal.
• This product operates at a frequency of 433.92 MHz. It complies with the essential requirements and
other conditions of R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC and can be used in all EU countries.
• There may be restrictions on the use of this device outside the EU. If this device is used outside the EU,
check whether the device complies with the local directives.
This product complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the applicable
European directives. The Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is available at www.coco-technology.com.
If possible, submit this product for recycling after use. Do not dispose of the product with household trash.
