Opstelling en installasie

Stap 1: Skakel krag af

Before starting any electrical work, turn off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Ensure the power is off by testing the circuit with a voltage toetser.

Stap 2: Verwyder bestaande skakelaar

Carefully remove the wall plate and mounting screws from the existing switch. Gently pull the old switch out of the electrical box. Do not disconnect wires yet.

Step 3: Identify Circuit Type and Wires

Determine if your wiring is a single-pole or 3-way configuration. A single-pole circuit controls lights from one location, while a 3-way circuit controls lights from two locations.

Enkelpolige bedrading:

Typically involves two wires connected to the switch (Hot Input and Load) plus a ground wire. One of the red wires on the dimmer will be capped off.

3-rigting bedrading:

Involves three wires connected to the switch (Hot Input, Traveler 1, Traveler 2) plus a ground wire. The dimmer switch will replace one of the existing 3-way switches.

Step 4: Wire Your New Dimmer

Connect the dimmer switch wires to the house wires using the provided wire nuts. Ensure all connections are secure.

• Koppel die groen of kaal koper gronddraad from the wall box to the groen draad op die dimmer.
• Koppel die black dimmer wire aan die hot input wire from the wall box.
• Vir Enkel-pool: Connect one of the red dimmer wires aan die laai draad (to the light fixture). Cap off the other red dimmer wire with a wire nut.
• Vir 3-rigting: Connect the two red dimmer wires aan die twee traveler wires from the wall box. If the on/off direction is reversed after wiring, try switching the two red wires.

Step 5: Mount the Dimmer

Carefully push all wires into the wall box, leaving enough room to insert the dimmer. Secure the dimmer to the wall box using the provided mounting screws.

Step 6: Separate Mounting Frame from Wall Plate

Gently insert a flat-head screwdriver into the slots on the side of the wall plate to separate the inner mounting frame from the outer decorative wall plate.

Stap 7: Installeer muurplaat

Place the decorative wall plate over the installed mounting frame. Snap the outer plate onto the inner frame until it clicks securely into place.

Step 8: Adjust Dimming Range (Sensitivity Adjustment)

A trim dial located below the cover plate allows for sensitivity adjustment to optimize compatibility with various LED lamps and prevent flickering at low light levels.

1. Skakel krag aan by die stroombreker.
2. Turn the dimmer on and set the slide control to the lowest dimming level.
3. Remove the outer wall plate to access the trim dial.
4. Use a small screwdriver to turn the trim dial clockwise to increase the minimum brightness or counter-clockwise to decrease it. Adjust until the desired minimum light level is achieved without flickering.
5. Turn the dimmer off, then back on to ensure the bulbs turn on consistently at the minimum setting.
6. Once adjusted, replace the outer wall plate.
