INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING

OR SERVICING FIXTURE!

CAUTIONS:

• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, use only with the appropriate LED 0-10V dimmable power supplies/
drivers, Advance Transformer 120/277V Mark 7® 0-10V ballasts or OSRAM Sylvania Quicktronic® Helios™ electronic ballasts.

DI-420-IP710-02A

CAUTIONS:

• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.

• Lighting fixture and dimmer must be grounded.

• Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire.

NOTE: Use only one (1) dimmer in a 3- or 4-way circuit. The switch(es) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.

Tools needed to install your Dimmer

Slotted/Philips Screwdriver Electrical Tape Pliers
Pencil Cutters Ruler

Changing the color of your Dimmer

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

Push in side at tab
to release

Note: Move slider on dimmer and slider on change kit

to bottom of the slide bar prior to engaging.

Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices

If installing Dimmer in a single device application, proceed
with the INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER section. If installing
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 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.

Bend back and

press in side to attach

Note: No derating is required in this mult-device installation

as referenced in the following chart.

MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE:

0-10VDC ballasts are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum
number of ballast 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
conjuction with an Eaton SP20-RD4 switchpack.

For applications using Eaton's SP20-RD4 switchpack
(Shown in Wiring Diagrams 2), the SP20-RD4 switch
ratings are as follows (refer to SP20-RD4 Instruction
Sheet for additional information):

SP20-RD4 SWITCH RATINGS:

20 Amps for 120 and 277 VAC Ballast

0-10 VDC Sink Current Rating:
28 mA maximum sink current. Contact your ballast
manufacturer for the sink current rating of the ballast.

INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER

Step 1

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.

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 terminatls 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 wallbox
that will house the WBSD-010M-C1 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 (shown).

• For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4A.

• For 3-Way Application, go to Step 4B.

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM 1
(shown on page 2) as follows:

Screw wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare

each connector with electrical tape.

NOTE: Ensure that low-voltage wiring (for Gray and
Violet connection of dimmer) is installed at wallbox
that will house the WBSD-010M-C1 dimmer.

NOTE: For additional switching capacity, use dimmers
in conjuction with an Eaton SP20-RD4 switchpack.

• Green dimmer Ground lead to Green or bare copper
wire in wall box.

• Black dimmer lead to Line Hot wall box wire.

• Red dimmer lead without insulating label to Load wall

box wire.

• Remaining Red dimmer lead should have Red
insulation label affixed.

NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to Red lead, use
a small wire nut or electrical tape to cap off.

• Violet dimmer lead to (+) Violet connection on ballast.

• Gray dimmer lead to (-) Gray connection on ballast.

• Proceed to Step 5.

• Green dimmer Ground lead to Green or bare copper
wire in wall box.

• Black dimmer lead to tagged (common) wall box
wire identified in step 2.

• Remove Red insulating label from Red lead.

• First Traveler wall box wire identified in step 2 to

any red dimmer lead.

• Second Traveler wall box wire identified in step 2
to the remaining red dimmer lead.

• Violet dimmer lead to (+) Violet connection on
