Changing the Color of Your Dimmer

Your Dimmer includes three color options. The Dimmer ships with the White frame attached. To change the color of the frame:

1. Push in side at tab to release the current frame.
2. Line up tabs of the new frame and press in side to attach.

Note: Move the slider on the dimmer and the slider on the change kit to the bottom of the slide bar prior to engaging.

Installing Dimmer by Itself or with Other Devices

If installing the Dimmer in a single device application, proceed with the 'INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER' section. If installing the Dimmer in a multi-device application, proceed as follows:

Multi-Device Application:

Note: You only need to remove side sections if installing with other dimmers or if it does not fit in the wall box – not when installing with mechanical switches. When installing more than one dimmer in the same location, the side sections of the mounting strap must be removed. Use pliers to carefully bend side sections back and forth until they break off.

Instructions: Remove all inner side sections. Do not remove outer side sections.

Note: No derating is required in this multi-device installation as referenced in the following chart.

Maximum Load Per Dimmer for Multi-Device Installation

Maximum Bulb Wattage

0-10VDC ballasts are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum number of ballasts per dimmer is based on the load VA rating. The maximum bulb wattage is determined by the efficiency of the ballast.

Note: For additional switching capacity, use dimmers in conjunction with a Leviton OSP20 120/277V Power Pack. For applications using Leviton's OSP20 Power Pack (Shown in Wiring Diagrams 2 & 4), the OSP20 switch ratings are as follows (refer to OSP20 Instruction Sheet for additional information):

OSP20 SWITCH RATINGS: 20 Amps for 120 and 277 VAC Ballast

Installing Your Dimmer

Note: Use check boxes [✔️] when Steps are completed.

Step 1: Turn Off Power

⚠️ WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring!

Step 2: Identifying Your Wiring Application (Most Common)

Note: If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble any of these configurations, consult an electrician.

Single-Pole Wiring:

1. Line (Hot)
2. Neutral
3. Ground
4. Load

3-Way Wiring:

1. Line or Load Common (See important instruction below)
2. Neutral
3. Ground
4. First Traveler
5. Second Traveler

IMPORTANT: For 3-way applications, note that one of the screw terminals from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black) or labeled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as the common (Line or Load) in both the dimmer wall box and the standard 3-way switch wall box. The remaining two wires on the brass or lighter screws screw terminals of the old switch are the travelers.

Step 3: Preparing Wires

Note: Ensure that low-voltage wiring (for Gray and Violet connection of dimmer) is installed at the wallbox that will house the IP710 Dimmer.

• Pull off pre-cut insulation from Dimmer leads.
• Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are straight (cut if necessary).
• Remove 5/8" (1.6 cm) of insulation from each wire in the wall box.
• For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4A.
• For 3-Way Application, go to Step 4B.

Step 4A: Single-Pole Wiring Application

Note: This wire is used in 3-way installations only. For single pole installations, do not remove this insulating label.

Wiring Diagram 1: Single Location Control Description:

• Connect the dimmer's Green Ground lead to the Green or bare copper wire in the wall box.
• Connect the dimmer's Black wire to the Line Hot wall box wire.
• Connect the dimmer's Red lead without the insulating label to the Load wall box wire.
• The remaining Red dimmer lead should have the Red insulation label affixed (or cap it off with a wire nut or electrical tape if not affixed).
• Connect the dimmer's Violet lead to the ballast's (+) Violet connection.
• Connect the dimmer's Gray lead to the ballast's (-) Gray connection.

Proceed to Step 5.

Step 4B: 3-Way Wiring Application

Wiring Diagram 3: Two Location Control Description:

• Connect the dimmer's Green Ground lead to the Green or bare copper wire in the wall box.
• Connect the dimmer's Black wire to the tagged (common) wall box wire identified in Step 2.
• Remove the Red insulating label from one Red lead. Connect this lead to the First Traveler wall box wire identified in Step 2.
• Connect the remaining Red dimmer lead to the Second Traveler wall box wire identified in Step 2.
• Connect the dimmer's Violet lead to the ballast's (+) Violet connection.
• Connect the dimmer's Gray lead to the ballast's (-) Gray connection.

Note: Dimmer can be installed on either the Load or Line side.

Note: Ensure that low-voltage wiring (for Gray and Violet connection of dimmer) is installed at the wallbox that will house the IP710 Dimmer.

Proceed to Step 5.

Step 5: Testing Your Dimmer Prior to Mounting

• Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Carefully holding the Dimmer, move the slider control lever to the highest position. Lights should turn ON to the brightest level.
• If lights do not turn ON, depress the push-button switch once. Lights should turn ON to the brightest level.
• If lights still do not turn ON, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Step 6: Dimmer Mounting

⚠️ WARNING: TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE.

Installation may now be completed by carefully positioning all wires to provide room in the wall box for the dimmer. Mount the dimmer into the box with the mounting screws supplied. Attach the wallplate.

Step 7: Restore Power

Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse. Installation is complete.

Operation

• ON/OFF: Depress the push-button switch to the ON position – Lights will turn ON. Depress the push-button switch to the OFF position – Lights will turn OFF.
• BRIGHTEN & DIM: Move the slider control lever – Lights will BRIGHTEN or DIM.

Note: If using the dimmer in a 3-way application, the lights will turn ON at the brightness set on the dimmer's slide control lever. The lights can be controlled from either the dimmer or the switch location.

Troubleshooting

• Lights Flickering: Lamp has a bad connection. Wires not secured firmly with wire connectors.
• Light does not turn ON: Circuit breaker or fuse has tripped. Lamp is burned out. Lamp Neutral connection is not wired.
