Safety and Notes

WARNING AND CAUTION

• Risk of fire and electrical shock, the dimmer should be installed in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• This product should be used together with an upstream air-gap switch.
• Turn power off at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before installing.
• Once the dimmer is successfully installed, it is recommended to adjust the minimum desired brightness level and set the maximum brightness to the desired range, then test the ON/OFF switch to ensure the light is working after adjustments are completed.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a licensed electrician.
• To reduce risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance or transformer-supplied appliance.
• Use with compatible dimmable LED, CFL, incandescent, or halogen bulbs only.
• When multiple bulbs are used with one dimmer, DO NOT mix bulb types. All bulbs must be either LED, CFL, or incandescent. Using the same model of each bulb will enhance dimmer performance.
• On Wi-Fi compatible model, input on the dimmer switch will override app controls.

INSTALLATION TOOLS

Voltage tester, pliers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdrivers, electrical tape, measuring tools, and more may be required for proper installation. Make sure all necessary tools are available before beginning installation.

Available for: Android, Apple

Switch Layout

1. Status Indicator: RED: Dimmer switch is off (all models) and APP is not connected (Wi-Fi model only). WHITE: Dimmer switch is off (all models) or APP is not connected (Wi-Fi model only). On Wi-Fi model, white light will remain on at all times once paired with app. Indicator flashes white to indicate it is in pairing mode.

2. Maximum Brightness Button: This sets the maximum brightness. Press the button to cycle through the six maximum brightness settings.

3. Minimum Brightness Button: This sets the minimum brightness. Press the button to cycle through the six minimum brightness settings.

4. Power Button: Press to turn power on and off.

For Wi-Fi models: with switch on, press the power button five times quickly to enter pairing mode. The indicator will flash to indicate the switch is now in pairing mode.

To set a custom maximum brightness, first set the switch to the desired value. Next press the power button eight times quickly. On Wi-Fi models this can also be done in the app.

To set a custom minimum brightness, first set the switch to the desired value. Next press the power button six times quickly. On Wi-Fi models this can also be done in the app.

To clear the custom set minimum and maximum brightness, press the power button nine times quickly with the switch on.

To restore all factory settings, press the power button ten times quickly with the switch on.

5. Dimming (up) Button: Press the dimming (up) button to increase brightness step by step when switch is on. Hold the dimming (up) button to increase brightness sequentially to maximum when switch is on. Quickly press the dimming (up) button twice to go to maximum brightness instantly whether the switch is on or off.

6. Dimming (down) Button: Press the dimming (down) button to decrease brightness step by step when switch is on. Hold the dimming (down) button to decrease brightness sequentially to minimum when switch is on. Quickly press the dimming (down) button twice to go to minimum brightness instantly whether the switch is on or off.

7. Power Cut-off Button: Push to cut off or restore power to the switch. This can be used to reset the switch if needed. Warning: This does not switch off the breaker or remove power before the switch.

8. Dimming Indicator: The number of LEDs lit on the indicator show the relative dimming level.

Switch Installation

NOTE: If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble any of the configurations to the right, please consult an electrician.

DMR-TE01-3WH does not have a neutral (white) wire. Disregard neutral-labeled wires in wiring diagrams. All other wiring is the same.

1. WARNING: To avoid fire and electrical shock, TURN OFF ALL THE POWER at the breaker before wiring.
2. If replacing an existing switch, carefully unscrew and remove the old switch from the wall box. DO NOT disconnect the wires from the switch at this time.
3. Identify the type of circuit (1-way or 3-way). Proceed to step 4a for 1-way wiring or step 4b for 3-way wiring.

1-Way Wiring

1. 4a. Connect the green wire on the dimmer to the green or bare copper ground wire in the wall box using the included twist-on wire connector.
2. 5a. Connect the black wire on the dimmer to the line wire of circuit breaker using the included twist-on wire connector.
3. 6a. Connect the red wire on the dimmer to the load wire using the included twist-on wire connector.
4. 7a. Connect the white wire to neutral.
5. 8a. The brown wire is only used for 3-way setups, so cap the remaining red and white wire on the dimmer with twist-on wire connector. Skip to step 12 here if using 1-way wiring.

3-Way Wiring

IMPORTANT: For 3-way applications, note that one of the screw terminals from the old removed switch will usually be a different color (black) or labeled "common". Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify it as the common (line or load) in both the dimmer wall box and the 3-way wall box. The dimmer must be connected to line and neutral at all times in order to function.

3. 11b. Connect traveler 2 to screw 2 of the 3-way switch using the included twist-on wire connector.

Installation Steps (Common for both 3-way configurations):

1. 12. Carefully position all wiring inside the junction box, allowing enough room to insert the dimmer switch, then gently place the dimmer inside the junction box and line up the mounting holes.
2. 13. Mount the dimmer securely to the junction box using the provided screws.
3. 14. Apply power and check to make sure the dimmer and switch work properly (as well as the secondary switch on 3-way installations and Wi-Fi connection and function on models equipped with Wi-Fi).
