Important Notes Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION: Use only with permanently-installed 120 V~
incandescent or halogen xtures. To avoid overheating and
possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control
receptacles, uorescent lighting xtures, motor-driven appliances,
or transformer-supplied appliances.
2. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
3. Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.
4. When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox then
NEC
® 2008, Article 404.9 allows a dimmer without a grounding
connection to be installed as a replacement, as long as a plastic,
noncombustible wallplate is used. For this type of installation,
cap or remove the green ground wire on the dimmer and use an
appropriate wallplate such as Lutron's Claro
® or Fassada® series
wallplates.
5. For new installations, install a test switch before installing the
dimmer.
6. Protect dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling.
7. Recommended minimum load is 40 W.
8. It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch during
operation.
9. Clean dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any
chemical cleaners.

Multigang Installations
When installing more than one control in the same wallbox,
it may be necessary to remove all inner side sections prior
to wiring (see diagram). If pre-installed, remove the Lutron
wallplate and wallplate adapter from dimmer. Using pliers,
bend side section up and down until they break off. Repeat
for each side section to be removed. Removal of dimmer
side sections reduces maximum load capacity. Refer to chart
below for maximum dimmer capacity.
