Installation

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.

This product is not designed or approved for use on powerlines other than 100-240VAC,50Hz or 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this
product on non-approved powerlines may have hazardous consequences.

-

Use only indoors or in outdoor rated box

-

This product may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no hazards. To
minimize heat buildup, ensure the area surrounding this product is as clear of clutter as possible.

-

Each INSTEON product is assigned a unique INSTEON I.D., which is printed on the product’s label.

-

To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use this product to control loads in excess of the
specified maximum(s) or, install in locations with electricity specifications which are outside of the product’s specifications. If this device
supports dimming, please note that dimming an inductive load, such as a fan or transformer, could cause damage to the dimmer, the
load bearing device, or both. If the manufacturer of the load device does not recommend dimming, use a non-dimming INSTEON on/off
switch. USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DIMMING AN INDUCTIVE LOAD.

IMPORTANT! If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with,
electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install the product for you.

TRIAC Dimming Technology

INSTEON dimming modules utilize a leading-edge TRIAC dimmer that modifies the first half of the AC waveform.
This type of dimmer is compatible with resistive and inductive loads but not capacitive loads.

Some low-voltage lights with AC transformers are not compatible with the type of dimmer used in INSTEON dimming
modules. Connecting a capacitive load to a TRIAC dimmer can damage both the lamp and the dimmer circuitry. If
your lamp requires a trailing-edge dimmer, do not connect it to an INSTEON dimming module. Instead, use an
INSTEON On/Off module.
