About the Wires
Load
•
This wire connects the dimmer switch to appliances.
This is the wire that the smart dimmer switch
controls. All switches have a load wire.
Line ("Live")
•
This wire brings electricity to the dimmer switch. All
switches have a line wire.
CAUTION: Never twine the load wire and the line wire together
or connect them both to power. Only the line wire should be
connected to power.
Neutral
•
Some old switches do not have a neutral wire.
However, a neutral wire is required to install the
smart dimmer switch. This is because the smart
dimmer switch needs to be powered on at all times
to operate.
•
If you cannot find a neutral wire in your junction box,
contact a qualified electrician to rewire the switch.
CAUTION: Never connect the neutral wire with any other
wire. This can cause circuit abnormalities or burn out the
dimmer switch.
