Get Started

What do I need?

How do I get started?

To install the dimmer, you will need to remove
and replace the existing lightswitch. This is
usually straightforward, but you must ensure that
there is a suitably deep housing (backbox) and
understand how to safely turn o the electricity
supply. You will also need suitable electrical
screwdrivers.

Please refer to the following installation and
setup instructions. This will guide you, step by
step, through the installation and setup process.

Overview

Installation

IMPORTANT: All LightwaveRF products can be legally DIY installed in your
own home; however, if in doubt, always consult a qualified electrician or
heating engineer. It is important to install this product in accordance with
the following instructions. Failure to do so may void your warranty.

Installation

IMPORTANT: If conducting an insulation resistance test, all LightwaveRF
products must be disconnected from the mains, or damage will occur.

Quick Start Guide

Installation

1. IMPORTANT: Turn o the mains electrical supply.

2. Ensure that the wall (back) box has a minimum depth of 35mm.

3. Remove and disconnect the existing lightswitch (if applicable). It may be

useful at this point to mark out or take a photograph of the connections to
the existing switch so that the correct wires can easily be transferred to the
new dimmer. Some existing wiring configurations can be complex so take
care.

4. Gently remove the dimmer faceplate by inserting a screwdriver into one

of the bottom slots and lifting away from the unit as shown.

Installation

5. Connect the wiring as per the wiring diagram on the following page.

Ensure that the terminals are properly tightened and that no bare wire is
visible. Be aware that existing wiring circuits are not always correctly
coloured, and that there may be other wired connections present in the back
box; if in doubt, always seek the advice of a qualified electrician.

NOTE: LightwaveRF dimmers do NOT require a mains neutral wire to be
connected; they only require ‘live in’ and ‘switched live out’.

7. Screw the dimmer switch to the

mounting box and ensure that the
screws are suciently tight to support
the product, but do not over tighten as
this may cause the chassis to bend.
Ensure that the plastic spacer is
correctly aligned and that no wires are
trapped between the dimmer switch and
the back box.

6. Any earth wires present must be attached either to the earth terminal

located in the back box or capped with a strip connector. The dimmers are
double insulated so are not required to be earthed directly.

Installation

or red in colour.

Switched live
Wire Out. This
should be
blue or black
in colour.

The switched live may
be marked by brown/red
tape to emphasise that
it is not a neutral wire.

Installation

8. Replace the plate – a ‘click’ sound

should be heard to signify that the
plate has been correctly replaced.

• It is recommended that LightwaveRF devices be positioned at least 30cm
apart in order to prevent the risk of any radio conflict that could disrupt
remote operation.

• Suitable lamps must be used with the dimmer or it will not function
correctly. See next section for compatibility information.

Important things to consider

• In a multigang dimmer, to be able to
operate any gang, mains electricity
must always be connected to all of the
dimmer terminals.
