Troubleshooting
Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. Caution: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not
use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, motor-operated or
transformer-supplied appliances.
2. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
3. When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox then the NEC® 2002, 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 remo
ve the green ground wire on the dimmer and use an
appropr
iate wallplate such as Lutron’s
Claro® ser
ies wallplates.
4. Do not paint Dimmers.
5. Do not use where total lamp wattage is less than 60 W or greater than 600 W (see
Dimmer Capacity Char
t for details).
6. Dimmer may not work with dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16™ or Philips PAR-
16™).
7. Oper
ate between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
8. Dimmer ma
y feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
9. Recommended w
allbox depth is 2 1/2" (64 mm) minimum.
10.
Clean dimmer with a
soft damp c
loth only
. Do not use an
y chemical cleaners.
Grasp Claro wallplate at
top and pull forward to
remove.
Removing Wallplate.
• Dimmer has a pre-installed Lutron Claro wallplate. Remove the wallplate before
proceeding with installation. This will expose mounting holes in adapter, and prevent
wallplate damage while installing.
