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: 600W devices do not have break-off side sections. Derating is
still required in multi-gang installation (see chart).
For 1000W devices: When ganging dimmers, the side sections of the
mounting strap must be removed. Use pliers to carefully bend side
sections back and forth until they break off (see Figure). The side
sections dissipate heat, so removing them requires a derating of the
dimmer's capacity (see chart).
NOTE: You only need to remove side sections if installing with other
dimmers or if it does not fit in wall box – not when installing with
mechanical switches.
