  • Tightening torque for screws: 14 Kgf/cm2 (12 lbf/in2)

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
Turn OFF the power to the branch circuit for the switch and lighting fixture at the service panel. All wiring connections must be made with the POWER OFF to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the dimmer. This device is intended for installation per the National and Canadian Electrical Code as well as the United States and Canadian local regulations. If you are unsure or uncomfortable about performing the installation, consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: This dimmer is rated for and intended to only be used with copper wire.

6-Button Keypad Dimmer Wiring/Installation Instructions

  1. Shut off power to the circuit at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
    IMPORTANT: Verify power is OFF to the switch box before continuing.
  2. Remove the wall plate.
  3. Remove the switch mounting screws.
  4. Carefully remove the dimmer from the switch box.
    Note: DO NOT disconnect the wires.
  5. There are five screw terminals on the switch, these are marked:
    • GROUND
    • LINE – black (connected to power)
    • LOAD – black or red (connected to lighting/load)
    • TRAVELER – black or red (only in 3- way installations)
    • NEUTRAL – white
  6. Match these screw terminals to the wires connected to the existing switch.
  7. Disconnect the wires from the existing switch.
  8. Label wires according to the previous terminal connection.

Multi-Switch Wiring
For 3-way installations, refer to the Install Guide – QoraLux Companion Switch.

Wire Gauge Requirements
Use 12 AWG or 14 AWG wires suitable for at least 90ºC for supplying line (hot), load, neutral, ground, and traveler connections.

Air Gap
The air gap switch on the bottom must be pulled out when replacing light bulbs; this disconnects power to the load. When installation is finished, the air gap switch needs to be pushed back in for the device to function properly.

Wire Strip Length

For attachment, use the enclosure’s holes and strip insulation 5/8 in (16 mm). UL specifies the tightening torque for the screws is 14 Kgf/cm2 (12 lbf/in2 ). Refer to the diagram and follow the steps below.

  1. Connect the green or bare copper ground wire to the GROUND terminal.
  2. Connect the black wire from the light to the LOAD terminal.
  3. Connect the black wire from the electrical service panel (hot) to the LINE terminal.
  4. Connect the white wire to the NEUTRAL terminal (use a jumper wire if needed).
    Note: The traveler terminal is only used for 3- or 4-way wiring and should not be connected if the dimmer is being installed in a 2-way system (one dimmer and one load).
  5. Insert the dimmer into the switch box, being careful not to pinch or crush wires.
  6. The switch must be independently mounted (vertical position only).
  7. Secure the switch to the box using the supplied screws.
  8. Mount the wall plate.
  9. Reapply power to the circuit at fuse box or circuit breaker and test the system.

Basic Operation
The connected light can be turned ON/OFF in two ways.

  • Manually from the front panel of the dimmer
  • Remotely via the SAVI Server

Manual Control
The keypad allows the user to turn ON/OFF or dim UP/DN the connected fixture by completing the following steps:

  1. Press the top of the rocker to turn the light ON or press the bottom to turn it OFF.
  2. Press/hold the UP arrow to dim the light UP, or press/hold the down arrow dim DOWN.SAVI-iQ-6-Button-Keypad-Dimmer-fig-1

Note: For 3-way configurations, ensure the smart dimmer is installed in the junction box where the Line(Hot) enters the electrical circuit. Insert wires into holes, do not wrap wires around screws. Do not remove screws. The Qoralux 6-Button Keypad Dimmer is designed to operate in either 120 VAC or 277 VAC circuits. For 277 VAC 3-way circuits, use a standard “off-the-shelf” 277 VAC compatible 3-way switch. Refer to the Documentation section on SAVI’s dealer portal for user guides, datasheets, and more.
