Installing Your Dimmer
Installation for Lights with One Wall Switch (Single-Pole)
Turn power off at circuit breaker! ⚠️ WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. May result in serious injury or death. Turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse before installing. A diagram shows a circuit breaker switch in the 'OFF' position.
Remove existing switch from wall. Diagrams show removing the wallplate and then pulling the switch out from the wallbox. Disconnect all three wires* from the switch.
Remove side sections (if necessary). Diagrams illustrate removing side sections from the dimmer. Note: Do not remove outside side sections on dimmers at the end of a gang. A dimmer in the middle may have all side sections removed. Each dimmer has inside side sections removed. A note explains that removing side sections reduces the dimmer's maximum wattage rating.
Connect the dimmer. Diagrams show wire connections: 1. Connect the bare copper (or green) "ground" wire from the wallbox to the green wire on the dimmer using a wire connector. 2. Connect either of the remaining wires from the wallbox to either of the remaining wires on the dimmer using a second wire connector. 3. Connect the remaining wire from the wall to the remaining wire on the dimmer using a third wire connector.
Mount the dimmer. A diagram shows the dimmer being secured into the wallbox using provided screws.
Attach the wallplate. Diagrams show attaching an adapter to the dimmer with screws and then snapping the wallplate into place. A note advises: "If you installed the dimmer next to other dimmers or switches, you'll need to install a wallplate with the correct size/number of openings to accommodate all the devices."
Turn power on at circuit breaker. A diagram shows a circuit breaker switch in the 'ON' position.
Important note: Some lights have one wall switch, while others have two or more wall switches (such as stair lights). This guide covers single-pole installation. If your light has more than one switch (called a 3-way), please visit www.casetawireless.com/3way for complete installation instructions and how-to videos.
*If your switch has more than 3 wires attached, see "Installing Caséta™ Wireless in a 3-way switch application" video at www.casetawireless.com/3way
