Connector. 
LOAD Connector 
The LOAD Connector accepts 18 AWG copper conductors, solid or stranded (16 strands 
or less). 
Use only one conductor per port and ensure that no copper is exposed on any of the 
wires after installation. 
1. Strip the wires to 3/8”. 
2. Grip the LOAD +24V wire and firmly push conductor into the port marked with the black 
stripe. See Fig. 2. 
3. Grip the LOAD -24V wire and firmly push conductor into the unmarked port.  See Fig. 2. 
4. After LOAD wire installation, the load can safely be disconnected and re-connected without 
re-installing the wires. To disconnect the load, firmly grip the LOAD connector and pull to 
separate it from the main body of the Smart Connector. To re-connect, simply push the 
LOAD connector into the corresponding port on the Smart Connector. 
DIM Connector 
The DIM Connector accepts 18 AWG copper conductors, solid or stranded (16 strands 
or less). 
Use only one conductor per port and ensure that no copper is exposed on any of the 
wires after installation. 
1. Strip wires to 3/8”. 
2. Grip positive/(+)/purple DIM conductor and firmly push into the port marked “1”. See Fig. 3. 
3. Grip negative/(-)/gray DIM conductor and firmly push into the port marked “2”. See Fig. 3. 
4. After DIM wire installation, the DIM connector can safely be disconnected and re-connected 
without re-installing the wires. To disconnect the DIM connector, firmly grip the DIM 
connector and pull to separate it from the main body of the Smart Connector. To re-
connect, simply push the DIM connector into the corresponding port on the Smart
