Electronic Low-Voltage Slide Dimmer
Cat. No. 6615-P
300W–120VAC, 60Hz
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DI-00X-06615-02B
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 dimmerʼs capacity is
required. Refer to the chart for maximum load per dimmer.
MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE
The maximum bulb wattage is determined by the efciency of the
transformer in the low-voltage lighting system. Transformer efciencies
will vary from different manufacturers; consider 80% efcient as average.
Use the chart to determine maximum bulb wattage for typical transformer
efciency ratings.
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER
NOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed.
WARNING: To avoid re, 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 congurations, consult a qualied 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 qualied electrician.
• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, do not install to control a
receptacle, uorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer-operated appliance.
• Use with electronic low-voltage transformers only. Do Not use to control a magnetic low-voltage transformer.
Use a Leviton magnetic low-voltage dimmer to control magnetic low-voltage transformers.
• This dimmer provides protection from overheating. An excessive load applied to the dimmer will cause the
dimmer to overheat. The excess load must be removed to resume proper operation.
CAUTIONS:
• This dimmer requires a neutral wire connection. If a neutral wire is not in the wall box, consult a qualied electrician.
• 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.
• Lighting xture and dimmer must be grounded.
• Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing xture.
• Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked CO/ALR or
CU/AL.

Disconnecting switch wires and preparing wires:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
Screw wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare
conductors show below the wire connectors. Secure each
connector with electrical tape.
WARNING: CONNECT AN ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE
DIMMER ONLY TO THE PRIMARY (HIGH-VOLTAGE) SIDE
OF A ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER.
NOTE: Dimmer can be installed on either the Load or Line side.
• Green dimmer Ground lead to Green or bare copper
wire in wall box.
• Black dimmer lead to tagged (common) wall box wire identied
when removing old switch.
• White dimmer lead to White Neutral wall box wire.
• Remove Red insulating label from Red lead.
• Any Red dimmer lead to any of the remaining wall box wires.
• Remaining Red dimmer lead to remaining wall box wire.
Testing your Dimmer prior to mounting in wall
box:
Dimmer Mounting:
TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE.
Single-Pole Wiring Application using 3-Way
Dimmer:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
Screw wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare conductors
show below the wire connectors. Secure each connector with
electrical tape.
WARNING: CONNECT AN ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE
DIMMER ONLY TO THE PRIMARY (HIGH-VOLTAGE) SIDE OF
A ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER.
• Green dimmer Ground lead to Green or bare copper wire in
wall box.
• Black dimmer lead to any wall box wire removed from old
switch.
• White dimmer lead to White Neutral wall box wire.
• Red dimmer lead without insulating label to remaining wall
box wire.
• Remaining Red dimmer lead should have Red insulation label
afxed. Proceed to Step 6.
