Leviton Decora True Touch TTM10-1 Installation Instructions

DI-000-TTM10-00A
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualifi ed electrician.
• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, do not install to
control a receptacle, fl uorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer-operated appliance.
• Use with magnetic low-voltage transformers, incandescent, or 120V halogen fi xtures only. Use a Leviton
electronic low-voltage dimmer to control electronic (solid state) low-voltage transformers.
• Total minimum load must exceed 40W or 40VA.
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver Electrical Tape
Pliers Pencil
Cutters Ruler
Changing the color of your Dimmer:
Your Dimmer includes two color options. The Dimmer ships with the
White frame attached. To change color of frame, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Ensure cut-out for Air-Gap Switch is positioned on bottom.
Push in side at tab
to release
Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices:
If installing Dimmer in a single device application, proceed with the
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER section. If installing Dimmer in a multi-
device application, proceed as follows:
MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION:
NOTE: You only need to remove side sections if installing with other
dimmers or if it does not fi t in wall box – not when installing with
mechanical switches.
When installing more than one dimmer in the same location, the side
sections of the mounting strap must be removed. Use pliers to carefully
bend side sections back and forth until they break off. The side sections
dissipate heat, so removing them requires a derating of the dimmer's
capacity (refer to chart).

MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE:
Low-voltage dimmers are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum bulb
wattage is determined by the effi ciency of the transformer in the low-
voltage lighting system. Transformer effi ciencies will vary from different
manufacturers; consider 75% effi cient as average. Use the chart to
determine maximum bulb wattage for typical transformer effi ciency ratings.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• When a magnetic low-voltage circuit is operated at a dim level, with all lamps inoperative, excess current
may fl ow through the transformer. To avoid possible transformer failure due to overcurrent, use a
transformer that incorporates thermal protection or a fuse at the primary windings.
• Use only one (1) dimmer per load. For remote operation, use Leviton Remote, Cat. No. TTØØR-1.
Do not use a 3-way switch.
• Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing fi xture.
• Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked
CO/ALR or CU/AL.

Look at the back of your switch. Look at the back of your switch.
If there are 2 wires connected If there are 3 wires connected
to two screw terminals (not to three screw terminals (not
including a green or bare copper including a green or bare copper
wire used for grounding), you wire used for grounding), you
have a Single-Pole switch. have a 3-Way switch. DO NOT
add a single-pole switch in this
location.
Disconnecting switch wires and preparing wires:
Step 4
• Disconnect wires from screw terminals or
Quickwire™ slots (shown).
• Pull off pre-cut insulation from Dimmer leads.
• Make sure that the ends of the wires from the
wall box are straight (cut if necessary).
• Remove 5/8" (1.6 cm) of insulation from each
wire in the wall box (shown).
• For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 5a.
• For 3-Way Application, go to Step 5b.
