Switchbox and Location: A single-gang switchbox (3"
high x 2" wide x 2
1
/
" deep) will service all individual Nova
2
dimmers. These dimmers are designed to operate in
ambient temperatures from 0
Allow a minimum space of 4
dimmer for proper heat dissipation.
Short Circuit Check: Check new installation for short
circuits prior to installing dimmer. With POWER OFF,
connect incoming neutral to the white wire, and the hot
wire to both ballast input wires (black wire with brown wire
or yellow/blue wire or orange wire, depending on ballast
used). Turn power ON. If lights do not work, or breaker
trips, a short is present. Correct the wiring and check
circuit again. Install dimmer only when short is no longer
present. This check should be done by a qualified
electrician.
Sockets: Use only with rapid start lamp sockets. Lamp
disconnect sockets may be required for use with certain
manufacturer's ballasts. This is in order to meet U.L. and
NEC regulations and maintains personal safety standards.
Lutron does not require lamp disconnect sockets with their
ballasts. Refer to the manufacturer's ballast label for this
information.
Lamps: Use only rapid start fluorescent lamps. Energy
Saver Lamps may NOT be used with this dimmer. With
magnetic ballasts only, do not mix different wattage
lamps in the same circuit. NOTE: For proper dimming
performance lamps must be operated at full intensity for
100 hours prior to dimming.
Ballasts: Use ONLY dimming ballasts listed on chart in
step 2 of Pre-Installation. With magnetic ballasts only, do
not mix 1 and 2 lamp ballasts in any one dimmer circuit. Do
not mix ballasts manufactured by more than one company.
Using single lamp ballasts will produce the most consistent
low end dimming level.
Multi-phased Applications (120/208-3 Phase): In multi-
phased applications use a separate neutral for each phase
containing a dimmer. Contact the Lutron Technical
Assistance Hotline toll-free for Application Note #17,
"Common Neutral Interaction".

Pre-Installation
1.
Determine the number of dimmers to be ganged in the
same wallbox. If installing a single dimmer in a switchbox,
continue to the "Single Unit Installation" section on page 3.
2.
If more than one dimmer is being ganged in the same
wallbox, side sections can be removed to fit in existing
switchboxes. When controlling magnetic ballasts, breaking
side sections off the dimmer will reduce the maximum
number of lamps per dimmer. Use the following charts to
determine the maximum number of lamps per dimmer.
