1 AND 2 GANG BLANK PLATESIf using the blank plate to cover the position of anexisting accessory, ensure that any remainingcables are isolated and terminated at a convenientjunction. Where possible remove the cables frominside the wall box. If the cable cannot be isolated,ensure that the bare ends of the live and neutralcables are terminated separately, within suitablysized terminal blocks. The terminal blocks shouldthen be covered with insulating tape for additionalsafety. Any earth cables must be sheathed ingreen/yellow sleeving and connected to the earth

terminal in the wall box. In all instances, it isimportant that the earthing circuit is maintainedwhen removing an accessory.

If the accessory to be removed is on a ring main it isimportant that, after removal, the connections for thering circuit are maintained. This can be achieved byconnecting all the live cables together, and then all theneutral cables together with suitably sized terminalblocks. The terminal blocks should then be coveredwith insulating tape for additional safety. All earthcables must be sheathed in green/yellow sleeving andconnected to the earth terminal in the wall box.

In the case of metal blanking plates fitted with earthterminals, the earth terminal on the plate should beconnected to the earth terminal in the wall box bymeans of a short length of copper wire.*BARE COPPER MUST BE SHEATHED INGREEN/YELLOW SLEEVING

DIMMERSImportant Safety Fitting Instructions1. Before commencing work, isolate the circuit.2. Do not overload or underload the dimmer.3. Use the correct type of dimmer for the connected load.4. Isolate supply before installing or removing bulb.

Dimmer Switch Installation1. Disconnect wires from the old switch.2. On square, four lugged boxes, bend the top and

bottom lugs inwards and out of the way.

3. Install the dimmers as shown in the relevant wiringdiagram, ensuring that no wires are trapped betweenthe plate and the box. The earth terminal on the platemust be connected to the earth terminal in the box.Fix the plate with the screws provided.Do not over tighten the fixing screws.

4. Re-connect the power to the circuit and test operation.5. It is normal for a faint buzzing sound to be heard from

a dimmer switch. This is from the radio interferencesuppression coil and is no case for concern.

CIRCUIT AND OTHER EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY To ensure optimum performance and reliability is obtainedfrom this dimmer switch during its lifetime the followingrecommendations and precautions should be followed asappropriate to the type of dimmer:

CIRCUITSIt is recommended that the lighting circuit incorporatingthis dimmer is protected by a 6A or up to a 10Amaximum Type B miniature circuit breaker.Only use two-way (push) dimmers in two-way switchingcircuits. Only use one two-way dimmer in a two-wayswitching circuit.

LAMPSThese dimmer switches are suitable for dimmingincandescent lamps and dimmable CFL lamps only and are NOT to be used with Fluorescent lamps,Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps of any description or motor loads.When using mains voltage Tungsten Halogen lamps, it isessential that these types of lamps incorporate internalfuses and are from quality lamp manufacturers. The useof inferior low quality lamps without internal fuses is notrecommended and will invalidate any guarantee orwarranty supplied with the dimmer switch.

Unless Compact Fluorescent (CFL) lamps are markedDimmable they must NOT be used with these dimmerswitches. Use of non-dimmable CFL lamps maypermanently damage the dimmer or the lamp and willinvalidate any guarantee or warranty supplied with thedimmer switch.It is recommended that a maximum number of 5dimming CFL lamps only should be connected to anindividual dimmer switch.

LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERSOnly use Low Voltage dimmers with transformers. Donot use mains voltage dimmers.Always check transformer compatibility BEFOREinstallation and if in doubt always check with thedimmer Helpline or the transformer manufacturerThe Low Voltage dimmer switches use leading edge(phase delay) dimming technology and must thereforebe used with compatible good quality dimmableelectronic or wire-wound transformers. Trailing edge(phase cut) dimmable transformers must not be used.

Do NOT mix electronic and magnetic transformers onthe same dimmer switch.It is recommended that a maximum number of 5 LowVoltage transformers should only be connected to anindividual dimmer switch.It is recommended that dimmable electronictransformers be loaded to at least 70% of their ratedmaximum wattage.
