Getting Started

Map out the wall switch and load that you are going to remotely operate. Keep in mind that you are going to replace
the existing wall switch with a keypad or another INSTEON controller where both are wired to the same constant hot
line using the existing wiring.

Installing Ballast Dimmer

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
This product is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States or

the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only. This product is not designed or approved for
use on power lines other than 100VAC- 277VAC 50/60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this product on non-approved power
lines may have hazardous consequences.

- Use only indoors or in an outdoor rated box

- Use with Branch Circuit Breakers 15 Amps or fewer

- Be sure that you have turned off the circuit breaker or removed the fuse for the circuit you are installing this product into.
Installing this product with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages.

- Connect using only copper or copper-clad wire

- This product may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat generated is within approved limits and poses no
hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure the area surrounding the rear of this product is as clear of clutter as possible.

- Each INSTE O N product is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, which is printed on the product’s label.

- To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use this product to control loads in
excess of the specified maximum(s) or, install in locations with electricity specific ati ons which are outside of the product’ s
specifications.

Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (North America only)

- Line: usually black (may also be called hot, live or power), carries 120VAC electricity into the wall box

- Neutral: usually white or white wire bundle, commonly daisy-chained from box to box

- Load: usually black, from a separate cable jacket

- Ground: bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)

Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (Europe/Australia/New Zealand)

- As wire colors vary from country to country, make sure you always check your electrical wires with a voltage meter to
correctly identify line, load, neutral and ground wires

- If you have any questions, consult an electrician or your electricity supplier to learn more about your country’s wiring colors
and labels

IMPORTANT!
If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfort abl e with,
electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install the product for you.

2) Turn off breaker/fuse and verify that the power is off

3) Disconnect wires from existing switch

4) Connect wires per diagram.

5) At the ballast location, disconnect the wires from the fixture you will be controlling and ensure that you have ½ inch of bare

wire on the ends

6) See the diagram to identify and connect the line, l oad, neutral DC(+) and DC(-) wires on Ballast Dimmer. Be sure you have

correctly identified the wires in the junction box before connecting them.

7) After ensuring wires are firmly connected and that there is no exposed wire, turn on breaker/fuse

After a few seconds, load will turn on

8) Test Ballast Dimmer connection by tapping set button a couple times

Ballast Dimmer load wil l respond appropriately

9) Link Ballast Dimmer to your INSTEON keypad or other INSTEON controller. See Make Ballast Dimmer a Responder.
