WIRING DIAGRAM
The load resistor has high resistance (10K ohm) and is
designed to be directly wired across 120VAC.
Please see diagram below.
Why Would I Need an ILR-10K?
This load resistor is a solution for your LED fixtures and
bulbs having issues turning off completely and flickering
at certain dim levels. We have found that by installing a
small load resistor (ILR-10K) in parallel with the LED load
it frequently eliminates these problems.
FUNCTION
The load resistor will dissipate only 1.4W at 100%
brightness settings and less at any lower settings. This
heat generation is low enough that the load resistor can
be installed behind the dimmer switch or at the
load/fixture location.
INSTALLATION
Note: Installation must be carried out by a qualified
electrician only. The circuit breaker or WS1DL must be
turned off during installation. Installation must be
carried out in accordance with all applicable codes and
requirements, including, but not limited to, the National
Electrical Code (NEC).
1. Turn off the power at the main breaker panel.
2. Locate the load (red) and neutral (white) wire. Behind
dimmer location or LED light location.
3. Install the ILR-10K between the two wires (Figure 1).
The ILR-10K may be wired in either direction of the leads
but it has to be PARALLEL with the LED light.
4. Use appropriate wire nuts to make a solid electrical
connection. Secure the wires and placement of the ILR10K.
Figure 1: The 2 leads of the ILR-10K must be wired parallel with the LED
light (between LOAD and NEUTRAL)
NOTATION
* Please note the load resistor is installed in PARALLEL with the
LED. This means the load resistor is wired between the switch load
wire (RED) and neutral (WHITE). If the load resistor is incorrectly
installed in SERIES with the load, the LED will stay off. This will not
hurt the load resistor or the switch or the LED, but the LED will
never go on.
**IF the PCS filter inductor (ILC) is being installed (not required),
it must be installed in series with the load. If the Filter Inductor is
incorrectly installed in parallel it would overheat and burn out
immediately and probably damage the switch since it has such a
low resistance (.5 ohm) it would appear to be a short circuit.
Please refer to the ILC installation guide.
OPERATION
Once the ILR-10K is properly installed, power up the WS1DL
and test for LED light’s complete turn-off state and different
dimming states. Both issues should be resolved.
