NOTE: Certain transformer types may not operate according to their stated
power rating when used with the dimmer switch, to avoid overloading of the
dimmer it will turn down the brightness of the lights. A digital transformer or
higher rated dimmer module may be required to resolve this problem.

Installation Guide

1. Remove the decorative front plate from the HomEasy Dimmer, place a small

screw driver into one of the side slots so that the screw driver is between the
inside edge of the front plate and the outer edge of the clear plastic and,
gently twist.

2. Isolate the electrical supply to the lighting circuit.

3. Remove the existing switch and disconnect the wiring from the switch

terminals, take note of the wiring of the switch and the terminal markings.
Where there are two or more wires together in the old switch they must be
kept together in the new Home Easy dimmer.

4. Ensure that the wall (back) box has a minimum depth of 25mm and is free
from plaster or projecting screw heads. If using wall box with 4 fixing lugs,
the top and bottom lug must be removed to allow the dimmer switch to fit.

5. Connect the wiring as per the diagrams below, Additional slave units will
allow for 2-way operation, these additional units can only be operated
manually. Contact Byrons for your local distributor.

Over Load Protection:
The HomeEasy dimmer switch is design to self protect against over loading
and over heating, this can occur when bulbs age. The dimmer module will
automatically dim the light or turn the lights off completely until the excess
load is removed, to reset the dimmer from the protection mode switch the
lights off then on.

TRANSFORMERS:

- Use only with electronic transformers.

- To Calculate the Load, add the VA ratings of the transformer
(not the bulb wattage)

- Choose transformers with a maximum rating close to the lamp load
e.g. 50VA,, 60VA or 70VA to control a 50 W low voltage bulb

- Wire Wound and Toroidal transformers are not compatible with the HomeEasy
Light switch's (see compatibility), if connect the dimmer will immediately turn
off. If this occurs more than times the dimmer will block any further use, to
unblock the dimmer it will need to be disconnect from the mains supply then
reconnect (see installation guide).
