•
Wallboxes: Devices mount in standard
wallboxes. For easy installation, Crestron
recommends using 3 ½" deep wallboxes. Several
devices can be installed in one wall box
(multigang). This requires the removal of side
sections (refer to diagram on page 4) and the
derating of the dimming device. For a smooth
appearance, one-piece multigang faceplates (not
supplied) can be installed.
•
Other Switch Devices: Mechanical 3- or 4-way
switches will not work with the - DIM1RF,
-DIM4RF, -DIMS1RF, -DIMS4RF, and
-SLVD1RF.
•
Spacing: If mounting one device above another,
leave at least 4 ½" vertical space between them.
•
Low Voltage Applications: Use with core and
coil (magnetic) low voltage transformers only.
Do not use any solid-state electronic low voltage
transformers.
Operation of a low voltage circuit with all lamps
inoperative or removed may result in current
flow in excess of normal levels. To avoid
transformer overheating and premature
transformer failure, Crestron recommends the
following:
Do not operate low voltage circuits
without operative lamps in place.
Replace burned-out lamps as quickly as
possible.
Use transformers that incorporate
thermal protection or fuse transformer
primary windings to prevent
transformer failure due to overcurrent.
Multigang Installations
In multigang installations, several controls are grouped
horizontally in one wallbox. For a smooth appearance,
one-piece multigang faceplates (not supplied) can be
installed.
1. When combining controls in a wallbox, remove
inner side sections prior to wiring as shown in
the following diagram.

The load capacity must also be derated. The
following charts provide derating information for
various applications.

* VA ratings are for input power to the transformer. If you do not
know the input power requirement of the transformer, use the bulb's
wattage rating to determine proper rating.
2. To remove a side section, bend the side section
back and forth with a pair of pliers until the
section breaks off from the mounting plate. Use a
file or sandpaper to remove any excess metal.
