SF-10P with Magnetic Dimming Ballast
Installation
1. TURN OFF POWER at fusebox or circuit breaker. Wiring
with power on can result in personal injury or product damage.
Damage caused by wiring with power on will void the warranty.
Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
2. Wire connectors supplied can be used to join one 10-, 12-,
14-, 16-, or 18-gauge wire with one or two 12-, or 14-gauge
wires. Wire connectors are suitable for use with copper wire
ONLY.
Strip wallbox wires to the following lengths:
1/2" for 10, 12, and 14 gauge wire
5/8" for 16 and 18 gauge wire
3. Using wire connectors supplied, make connections following
the appropriate wiring diagrams for your combination of controls
and ballasts.
4. Carefully push wires into wallbox, allowing room for dimmer
backcover. Do not pinch wires.
5. Mount dimmer to wallbox using screws provided. Unit MUST
be mounted vertically.
6. Turn power ON.
7. For magnetic ballasts ONLY:
Adjust minimum light intensity as follows:
a) Run lamps at full intensity (slider at top position) for 15
minutes to warm ballasts.
b) After 15 minutes push slider to low intensity position.
c) Locate thumbwheel adjustment (shown in Package Contents
and Part Identification on page 1).
d) Rotate the thumbwheel to raise or lower minimum light
intensity. Proper minimum light intensity is set when lamps do
not flicker or drop out.
For Lutron electronic ballasts ONLY:
This unit is factory-calibrated and does not normally require low-
end light adjustment when used with Lutron FDB- or ECO- Series
electronic ballasts. If lamps flicker or drop out at minimum
dimming level there may be an installation error or the low-end
light level may need to be reset. Continued use of the system in
this mode will cause premature lamp failure. If this condition
exists, call the Lutron Technical Support Center at: 1-800-523-
9466.
