INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• 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 qualified electrician.
• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, do not install to
control a receptacle, fluorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer-operated appliance.
• 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.
• Total minimum load must exceed 40W or 40VA.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• 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.
• Use only one (1) dimmer per load. For remote operation, use Leviton Remote, Cat. No. TT ØØ R-1.
Do not use a 3-way switch.
• Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing fixture.
• Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked
CO/ALR or CU/AL.
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver Electrical Tape
Pliers Pencil
Cutters Ruler
Changing the color of your Dimmer:
Your Dimmer includes two color options. The Dimmer ships with the
White frame attached. To change color of frame, proceed as follows:
When installing more than one dimmer in the same location, the side
sections of the mounting strap must be removed. Use pliers to carefully
bend side sections back and forth until they break off. The side sections
dissipate heat, so removing them requires a derating of the dimmer’s
capacity (refer to chart).
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:
NOTE: You only need to remove side sections if installing with other
dimmers or if it does not fit in wall box – not when installing with
mechanical switches.
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. DO NOT
add a single-pole switch in this
location.
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER
NOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed.
WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, or death; TURN OFF
POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off
before wiring!

Step 3
Disconnecting switch wires and preparing wires:
• Disconnect wires from screw terminals or
Quickwire™ slots (shown).
• Pull off pre-cut insulation from Dimmer leads.
• Make sure that the ends of the wires from the
wall box are straight (cut if necessary).
• Remove 5/8" (1.6 cm) of insulation from each
wire in the wall box (shown).
• For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 5a.
• For 3-Way Application, go to Step 5b.

MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE:
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.

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
WARNING: Connect a magnetic low-voltage dimmer only to the
primary (high-voltage) side of a magnetic low-voltage transformer.
Screw wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare conductors show below
the wire connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.
• Green dimmer Ground lead to Green or bare copper wire in wall box.
• Black dimmer lead to Line (Hot) wall box wire removed from old switch.
• Blue dimmer lead to remaining wall box wire (Load).
• Cap Yellow dimmer lead with appropriate size wire nut.
• Proceed to Step 6.

box:
Step 6
Dimmer Mounting:
TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE.
Step 7
Installation may now be
completed by carefully positioning
all wires to provide room in wall
box for dimmer. Mount dimmer
into box with mounting screws
supplied. Attach wallplate.
Restore Power: Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.
Installation is complete.
Step 8
Air Gap Switch
NOTE: Ensure that the Air Gap Switch
is pushed in fully.
NOTE: The Green indicator light will illuminate when the Load is
OFF to facilitate access in the dark.
NOTE: If using the dimmer in a 3-way application, the lights will
turn ON at brightness set on dimmer’s touch plate. The lighting can
be controlled from either the dimmer or the remote location.
OPERATION
ON: Tap the touch plate of the dimmer. The
lights will fade ON at the brightness level last
used (LED OFF).
OFF: Tap the touch plate of the dimmer. The
lights will fade OFF (LED ON).
BRIGHTEN & DIM: Press and hold the touch
plate of the dimmer to the desired light level.
Each time the touch plate is touched, the
state of the dimmer toggles between BRIGHT
and DIM.
AIR GAP SWITCH: On the lower left corner
of the switch plate, there is an Air Gap
Switch. When servicing light fixture, pull lever
out (OFF position). This will cut the power
to the fixture. After servicing is complete,
push the lever all the way in (ON position) to
restore power.
CLEANING: To clean touch plate, wipe it with
a clean damp cloth using clean water only,
dry thoroughly.
