INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
•
•
•
To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Dimmer may not operate with dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16™ or Philips PAR-16™).
If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.
Total minimum load must exceed 40W.
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.
Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".
•
•
•
Use with incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only.
Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft.
Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing or removing fixture.
Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked CO/ALR or CU/AL.
Vizia™ dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ remotes for multi-location dimming.
Use only one (1) Vizia™ dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching remotes with LEDs. The remote(s) will
turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.
Preparing and connecting wires:
This dimmer can be wired using side wire terminal
screws or through backwire openings. Choose
appropriate wire stripping specifications accordingly.
