INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO BE INSTALLEDAND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITHAPPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND
REGULATIONS.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT SUREABOUTANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULTA QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: TO AVOID OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THIS DEVICE AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, DO NOT
INSTALL TO CONTROLA RECEPTACLE, FLUORESCENT LIGHTING, OR AMOTOR - 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. USEA
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. TOAVOID 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 REMOTE, 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 (see Figure 1). The side sections
dissipate heat, so removing them requires a derating of the
dimmer's capacity (see 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. 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 ON/OFF LED
will turn OFF to indicate power to the dimmer (when the dimmer
is OFF, the LED is ON).

Wiring Diagram 3 - Three Location Control Application
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:
7. The brightness adjustment is located on the side of the
dimmer (see Figure 1). Using a small, insulated screwdriver,
depress the brightness adjustment switch. To increase the
minimum brightness, press the upper half of the small
rocker. To decrease the minimum brightness, press the
lower half of the small 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 (see 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: Press the upper half of the large rocker. The lights will
fade ON at the brightness level last used (ON/OFF LED
OFF). A second press will bring lights to full BRIGHT.
OFF: Press the lower half of the large rocker. The lights will
slow fade to OFF (ON/OFF LED ON). A second press will
turn lights to fast OFF.
BRIGHTEN: Press and hold the upper half of the
small rocker to the desired light level.
DIM: Press and hold the lower half of the
small 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 (see Figure 2). When
lights are OFF, the brightness level of lights can be changed
before turning lights ON by pressing the small rocker UP/DOWN.
MURAL™REMOTE: When using in a 3-Way application with
Cat. No. MS
ØØ R, the remote functions only as ON/OFF.
