4. Only one control can be used in a 3-way circuit.
030-1307
5. When no "grounding means" exist within the wallbox then the 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 Fassada
wallplates by Lutron.
6. For new installations, wire a test switch before installing the control.
7. Control may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
8. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
Multi-Unit Installations
When combining controls in a wallbox, remove all inner side sections prior
to wiring (see below). Use pliers to bend side section up and down until it
breaks off. Repeat for each side section to be removed. Reduction of control
capacity is required. Refer to chart below for maximum control capacity.
Maximum Current
To determine total ballast load, add the line current found on the ballast label
for all ballasts in the circuit. This will indicate the total load for the control.
