FITTING YOUR MODULE

Read the instructions below carefully. Incorrect installation may damage the dimmer beyond repair.

In case of any doubt or difficulty consult a qualified electrician.

Switch off at the mains, then remove the existing switch and disconnect the wiring from the switch terminals at the rear, taking note of the present wiring of the switch and the marking on the terminals. Where there are two or more wires together in the old switch, they must be kept together in the switch.

Ensure that any wall box is free of plaster lumps or projecting screw heads. Switches on single-sized plates can be fitted to wall boxes having 60.3mm screw fixing centres and those with double-sized plates to wall boxes with 120.6mm fixing centres. Most models can be fitted into a box with a minimum depth of 25mm. A box having 4 fixing lugs cannot be used without modifying it. The top and bottom lugs must be broken off or bent flat.
To connect the wiring for 1-way or 2-way circuits refer to the diagrams below. Take care that no bare wires project out of the terminals. Keep wires together in a terminal if they were together in your old switch.

Switches having a metal front plate must be earthed by means of the earthing point on the plate.
After connecting the wires screw the switch gently into the wall box so that the front plate is not distorted or cracked. Do not trap the wiring between the rear of the dimmer and the back of the wall box.

Once installation is complete. Switch on the mains supply and switch on.

GUARANTEE

In case of any defect, return the dimmer to our service department. Varilight undertakes to repair or replace, at its discretion, goods that have become defective within 10 years of purchase, solely as a result of faulty materials and workmanship, provided that:-

The unit has been correctly fitted according to the instructions and has not been used with an incompatible load, fluorescent tubes, or overloaded beyond its rating, and has only been used on a 200-250V a.c. power supply.
The dimmer module has not been tampered with or taken apart. However, for your convenience, it is perfectly in order to remove a faulty dimmer module from multi-gang dimmers by pulling off the knob and unscrewing the nut under the knob. You will then still have the remaining modules working whilst we service your faulty module.
The unit is securely packed and safely returned to either address listed in the overview section above, together with a letter stating the guarantee registration number below, the date and place of purchase, your contact details and return address, the type and wattage of the lighting or other load being controlled and the details of the fault. This guarantee states Varilight’s entire liability, which does not extend to cover consequential loss or damage or installation costs arising from a defective product. The guarantee does not apply to problems arising from any incompatibility between your lamps and the dimmer switch. This guarantee does not in any way affect the statutory rights of the purchaser and is offered so that you may have the benefit of our technical facilities.
