TYPICAL INSTALLATION
MULTI GANG INSTALLATION
Air Gap Switch
• WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, or death. High Voltage - Turn off power at circuit
breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring.
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equip-
ment, DO NOT install to control a receptacle,a motor-operated appliance, a fluores-
cent lighting fixture, or a transformer supplied appliance.
• Remove wall plate and existing switch mounting screws.
• Carefully remove the existing switch from the switch box.
• Disconnect the wiring from the existing switch.
• Connect the dimmer switch as shown in the wiring diagram: Black lead to hot wire,
white lead to neutral wire, red lead to load wire, green lead to ground wire.
• Check connections to be sure they are tight, and no bare conductors are exposed.
• Insert the WPD dimmer switch into the standard outlet box carefully.
• Make sure the WPD dimmer switch supplied screws in designated location.
• Attach the wall plate.
• Restore power at the circuit breaker and test the system.

The Sensor Switch WPD is an economical commercial/residential grade forward phase paddle dimmer for LED, CFT, Incandescent, and Dimmable LED
compatible loads. Easy configuration is a key feature of this device, allowing the user or installer to effortlessly develop energy saving illumination
strategies by setting high and low brightness levels or returning to its default state when desired. Its elegant design does not compromise function.This
UL 1472 Listed and NEMA SSL 7A solution accepts line 120VAC voltage from a single device, including a sliding Air-Gap switch to disconnect power while
replacing bulbs. The WPD also works as works with a mechanical switch for 3-Way wiring.
When installing more than one control in a multi-gang wall box, it may be necessary to remove side tabs before installing (see image below). Bending tabs
back and forth using pliers will easily break tabs. Tab removal will reduce maximum load capacity.
When using the Dimmer to control LED/CFL lights in conjunction with another Dimmer to control Incandescent /Halogen lights follow this Derating Chart
(below right) for Maximum capacity on EACH device.
During normal operation, there is a small amount of power passing
through the switch to the load even when the dimmer switch is
turned off.The WPD has an air gap switch on the lower right side to
completely disconnect load power.
Slide the air gap switch to left to disconnect the power while
replacing light bulbs and slide it to right for normal operation.
The air gap switch must be in one of two positions to function as
intended.
WPD BASIC OVERVIEW
Tabs Removed for Multi-gang Installation
If you are using ONLY LED/CFL bulbs on ALL Dimmers, DO NOT USE this
Derating Chart. Dimmable LED/CFL load capacity is 150W in all cases.
Combined Wattage
of ALL LED/CFL bulbs
on 1 dimmer is:
Then the Maximum COMBINED Wattage for the
Incandescent/Halogen bulbs on EACH attached dimmer:
If NO Tabs are
removed, then Max
Wattage is:
If 1 side of Tabs are
removed, then Max

The WPD dimmer switch allows the user to turn ON/OFF and control the brightness level
of the connected lighting.
Basic Operation
1. To turn the connected lighting ON: Tap the top of the dimmer switch paddle.The LED
indicator will be turned on in blue.
2. To turn the connected lighting OFF: Tap the bottom of the dimmer switch paddleagain.
The LED indicator will be turned off.
3. To brighten the connected lighting: Press and hold the top of the dimmer switchpaddle,
release when desired level is achieved.
4. To dim the connected lighting: Press and hold the bottom of the dimmer switchpaddle,
release when desired level is achieved.
Setting High Trim (maximum brightness)
Action 1: Toggle air gap switch off/on
Response: The LED indicator will flash.
Information: During this state, within a 8 second window, the user can set high trim.
Action 2: While LED is flashing quickly, press top paddle 5 times continuously.
Response: The LED indicator will slowly flash, and light level will transition from 40%
to100% illumination
Information: The slow LED flash and illumination transition indicates trim direction
Action 3: Press top or bottom paddle to adjust light level to desired brightness
within an 15 seconds window.
Response: After slow flash stops, the maximum brightness is automatically saved.
Information: Setting high trim is complete.
Setting Low Trim (minimum brightness)
Action1: Repeat Action 1 above in High Trim Section
Action 2: While LED is quickly flashing, press bottom paddle 5 times continuously
Response: The LED indicator will slowly flash, and light level will transition from 0%
to 60% illumination.
Action 3: Repeat Action 3 above; however, setting desired minimum light level.
Restore the maximum or minimum brightness defaults
Action 1: Repeat Action 1 above in High Trim Section
Action 2: While LED is quickly flashing, press the paddle 10 times top or bottom in
the same direction continuously. The diming level will change from zero to
90%.
Response: The dim level will change from 0 to 90%.
1. Pressing and holding the dimmer switch paddle until the light
intensity is at the minimum setting (which may result in 0% light
output) does not turn the power OFF, you must still tap (short press)
the bottom of the dimmer switch paddle to turn the power OFF.
2. When power on again, the device will go back to the light level prior
to power off.
