5. Installazione e configurazione
Per un'installazione corretta e sicura, seguire questi passaggi:
- Spegnimento dell'alimentazione: Locate your circuit breaker panel and turn off the power to the switch box you will be working on. Verify power is off using a voltagetester.
- Rimuovere l'interruttore esistente: Rimuovere con cautela la piastra a muro e svitare l'interruttore esistente dalla scatola a muro. Scollegare i cavi dal vecchio interruttore.
- Identificare i fili: Identify the Line (hot), Load, Ground, and Traveler wires (if applicable for 3-way installations). This dimmer does not require a neutral wire for operation.
- Preparare i cavi: Strip approximately 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of insulation from each wire end. The dimmer includes a strip gauge on the back for reference.
- Connect Wires using Lever Edge Terminals:
- Cavo di terra (verde): Insert the bare copper ground wire into the green Lever Edge terminal.
- Line/Load Wires (Black/Red): Insert the Line (hot) wire into the black Lever Edge terminal. Insert the Load wire into the TRAV1 (red) terminal. For 3-way installations, refer to the wiring diagrams below for traveler connections.
The Lever Edge terminals are color-coded for easy identification and accept 12 gauge and 14 gauge solid or stranded copper wire. Push the wire firmly into the terminal until you hear an audible 'click', confirming a secure connection. No exposed metal parts ensure added safety.
