The Enerlites 55307-12 is a 12V/24V DC decorator LED dimmer designed for dimmable LED lights and incandescent/halogen bulbs. It supports a maximum load of 100W and is compatible with both single-pole and 3-way switch configurations. Important: This device requires a 12V/24V DC transformer or driver and must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations.
Safety Warnings
- Turn off power: Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before beginning installation.
- Copper wire only: Use only copper wire for connections.
- Prohibited uses: Do not use this dimmer to control receptacles, motor-operated appliances, fluorescent lighting fixtures, or transformer-supplied appliances (unless specifically designed for this driver).
- Risk of Electric Shock: More than one disconnect switch may be required to fully de-energize the device before servicing.
Specifications
- Input/Output Voltage: 12V or 24V DC
- Max Load: 100W
- Dimmer Type: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
- Dimmer Range: 0 - 100%
- Wire Gauge: #16-18 AWG (low-voltage wires)
- Operating Temperature: 32°F - 104°F
Installation and Wiring
The device supports two wiring configurations. Ensure all connections are secure and follow the diagrams provided in the manual.
Single-Pole Wiring
Used for controlling the light from one location. Connect the 12V/24V DC driver output to the dimmer and the light fixture according to the wiring diagram.
3-Way Wiring
Used for controlling the light from two locations. This setup integrates the dimmer with a 3-way switch.
Operating Instructions
The dimmer features a simple slider interface:
- Switch: Turns the lights ON and OFF.
- Master Dimming Control: Slide the control up to increase the light level (brighten) and slide down to decrease the light level (dim/off).
Practical help
Common problems
Dimmer overheating or malfunctioning
Ensure the dimmer is not being used to control a receptacle, motor-operated appliance, fluorescent fixture, or incompatible transformer.
Risk of electric shock during installation
Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker. Note that more than one disconnect switch may be required to fully de-energize the device.
Before use
- Verify the lighting load is 12V or 24V DC LED.
- Ensure the total load does not exceed 100W.
- Confirm you have a compatible 12V/24V DC Transformer or Driver.
- Use only #16-18 AWG copper wire.
- Turn off power at the circuit breaker before starting.
