3. Operating magnetic low-voltage fixtures with all lamps inoperative or
removed may result in current flow in excess of normal levels. To avoid
possible transformer overheating and premature failure, Lutron strongly
recommends the following:

• D o not operate magnetic low-voltage fixtures without operative lamps in place.
• R eplace burned-out lamps immediately.
• U se magnetic low-voltage fixtures with thermal protection or fused primary
windings to prevent transformer failure due to excess current.

Multigang Installations
When installing more than one control in the same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove all inner side sections
prior to wiring (see below). Using pliers, bend side sections up and down until they break off. Repeat for each side
section to be removed. Removal of dimmer side sections reduces maximum load capacity. Refer to chart below
for maximum dimmer capacity.
Each control has inside
section removed.
Do not remove outer
side sections.

switch with a 3-way or single-pole/3-way
dimmer, the screw on the same side as the
different-colored screw is not used. Tighten the
screw securely.
Single-Pole Wiring
• Connect the bare copper or green ground
wire to the green ground screw on the
dimmer (see Important Note 4).
• Connect one of the remaining wires
removed from the switch to the different-
colored screw (or backwire hole) on the
dimmer.
• Connect the remaining wire removed from
the switch to the screw (or backwire hole)
opposite the different-colored screw on
the dimmer.
Or
3-Way Wiring
• Connect the bare copper or green ground
wire to the green ground screw on the
dimmer (see Important Note 4).
• Connect the tagged wire removed from the
switch to the different-colored (COMMON)
screw (or backwire hole) on the dimmer.
If two wires were taped together, connect
one wire to the screw and insert the other
wire into the backwire hole near the screw.
• Connect one of the remaining wires
removed from the switch to either of the
remaining screws (or backwire holes) on
the dimmer.
• Connect the last wire removed from
the switch to the remaining screw (or
backwire hole) on the dimmer.
Align dimmer and
tighten screws
clockwise.
