device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: TO AVOID OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THIS DEVICE AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, DO NOT INSTALL TO CONTROL A RECEPTACLE,
FLUORESCENT LIGHTING, OR A MOTOR - OR TRANSFORMER - OPERATED APPLIANCE OTHER THAN APPROPRIATE LOW-VOLTAGE LIGHTING.
CAUTION (For Incandescent Only): USE WITH INCANDESCENT OR 120V HALOGEN FIXTURES ONLY.
CAUTION (For Magnetic Low-Voltage Only):
1. 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.
2. WHEN A MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT IS 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.
OTHER CAUTIONS:
1. USE ONLY ONE (1) DIMMER PER LOAD. FOR REMOTE OPERATION, USE THE
LEVITON MULTI-REMOTETM, CAT. NO. MS
ØØ R-1. DO NOT USE A 3-WAY SWITCH.
2. DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING OR CHANGING BULBS.
3. USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY
DEVICES MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.
MULTI-GANG INSTALLATION:
When ganging dimmers, the side sections of the mounting strap must be removed. Use pliers to carefully bend
side sections back and forth until they break off (refer to Figure 1). The side sections dissipate heat, so removing
them requires a derating of the dimmer's capacity (refer to chart).
MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE (For Magnetic Low-Voltage Only):
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.
TO INSTALL:
1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE
AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
2. Remove existing wallplate and switch or dimmer, if applicable.
3. Remove 3/4" (1.9 cm) of insulation from each circuit conductor. Make sure that ends of conductors are straight.
4. Connect lead wires per appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM as follows: WARNING: CONNECT A MAGNETIC
LOW-VOLTAGE DIMMER ONLY TO THE PRIMARY (HIGH-VOLTAGE) SIDE OF A MAGNETIC LOW-
VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER. Twist strands of each lead tightly and, with circuit conductors, push firmly into
appropriate wire connector (see chart for allowable wire connector and number of conductor
combinations). Screw connectors on clockwise making sure that no bare conductor shows below the wire
connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.
NOTE: For single pole applications, cap YELLOW lead with an appropriate size wire connector. Secure
connector with electrical tape.
5. Carefully position all wires to provide room in outlet box for dimmer. Mount dimmer into box with mounting
screws supplied.
6. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse. Turn the dimmer ON by pressing the upper half of the rocker. The
GREEN LED will turn OFF to indicate power to the dimmer (when the dimmer is OFF, the LED is ON).
NOTE: This model incorporates a trim adjustment which will allow the installer to precisely set the low end of the
dimming range to suit each installation. This adjustment is preset at the factory and should require no further
adjustments for most installations. If adjustment is required proceed as follows, otherwise continue with step 9:

Wiring Diagram 3 – Three Location Control Application
7. The brightness adjustment is located on the side of the dimmer (refer to Figure 1). Using a small, insulated
screwdriver, depress the brightness adjustment switch. To increase the minimum brightness, press the upper
half of the rocker. To decrease the minimum brightness, press the lower half of the rocker.
8. Release the rocker. Release adjustment switch and minimum brightness is set. Check for proper operation
by tapping the lower half of the rocker so the lights turn OFF, then tapping the upper half of the rocker so the
lights turn ON. The lights will turn ON to the new minimum brightness set. If operation is not satisfactory,
repeat step 7.
9. Attach Decora®wallplate (not included). INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
NOTE: On the lower left corner of the switch plate, there is an air-gap switch. When servicing a controlled
fixture, pull lever out (OFF position). This will cut the power to the fixture. After servicing is complete, push the
lever in (ON position) to restore power. The lever must be pushed in all the way (ON position) for normal
operation.
COLOR CONVERSION PROCEDURE
The color of this device can be changed to suit your interior design requirements. Simply obtain a color
conversion kit of the appropriate color from your Leviton distributor and proceed as follows (please note that
wallplate must be removed).
1. Select the color of the face you desire.
2. The frame has snaps on its sides. Using a small screwdriver, gently remove the frame from the strap (refer
to Figure 2).
3. Take the new frame and position it properly to the strap. Notice that the frame has a cut-out for the air-gap
switch lever. Line up the plastic snaps with the square holes in the strap. Insert the snaps on one side of the
frame into the strap.
4. Firmly press sideways and down to slip the other snaps into place. The frame snaps in with a audible click.
Ensure that all four snaps are secure. Replace Decora®wallplate. The color conversion is complete.
TO OPERATE:
ON: Tap the upper half of the rocker. The lights will brighten to the last set light level.
OFF: Tap the lower half of the rocker. The lights will dim to OFF.
BRIGHTEN: Press and hold the upper half of the rocker to the desired light level.
FULL BRIGHT: If the lights are OFF, double tap the upper half of the rocker. The lights will turn ON FULL
BRIGHT.
If the lights are ON, tap the upper half of the rocker once. The lights will turn ON FULL
BRIGHT.
The previous light level will remain in memory upon next ON operation (see above).
FAST OFF: Double tap the bottom half of the rocker. The lights will immediately turn OFF.
DIM: Press and hold the lower half of the rocker to the desired level.
BRIGHTNESS LEVEL DISPLAY:
Indicates the level of brightness when the lights are ON. Indicates the previous level of brightness when the lights are
OFF (refer to Figure 1).
NOTE: To alert you that there is power to the dimmer when the load is OFF, the ON/OFF LED remains ON. To
alert you that the load is ON, the ON/OFF LED remains OFF.
NOTE: If lights are OFF, regardless if you tap or press and hold the upper half of the rocker, the lights will go to
last set light level.
NOTE: If a power interruption should occur while the device is ON, the light load will return to its previous light level
when power is restored within 10 seconds.
