Hykolity 0-10V LED Dimmer Switch Installation Instructions

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides installation and configuration instructions for the Hykolity 0-10V LED Dimmer Switch. The device is designed exclusively for 0-10V dimmable power supplies or lighting fixtures. Key procedures include identifying your wiring application (Single-Pole or 3-Way), connecting wires according to the provided diagrams, and adjusting the minimum brightness level for optimal performance.

Safety warnings

• Risk of fire and shock: Installation must be performed in accordance with electrical codes and regulations.
• Power off: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse before starting installation. Test to ensure power is off.
• Compatibility: This product is only for use with 0-10V dimmable power supplies or lighting fixtures. Do not use with receptacles, motor-operated appliances, or transformer-operated appliances.
• Professional help: If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a licensed electrician.
• 3-Way circuits: Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.

Parts and tools

Ensure you have the following components before starting:

• Dimmer switch
• Wire connectors (P3 and P2)
• Mounting screws

Required tools:

• 3mm Slotted Screwdriver
• 5mm Phillips Screwdriver
• Electrical Tape
• Cutters
• Pliers
• Test Pencil
• Ruler

Installation and wiring

Step 1: Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse.

Step 2: Remove the existing wall plate and switch. Carefully pull the switch from the wall box, identify and remove the wires, but do not remove wires that are taken out from the switch at this time (if new installation, disregard this step).

Step 3: Identify your wiring application (Single-Pole or 3-Way).

Step 4a: Single-Pole Wiring Application

• Connect the green dimmer wire to the green or bare copper ground wire in the wall-box and twist with P3 wire connectors.
• Connect the black dimmer wire to the hot input wire removed from the switch and twist with P3 wire connectors.
• Connect the red dimmer wire to the load wire removed from the switch and twist with P3 wire connectors.
• Connect the purple dimmer wire to 0-10V(D+) wire and twist with P2 wire connectors.
• Connect the pink dimmer wire to 0-10V(D-) wire and twist with P2 wire connectors.
• Cap the remaining red and white wires with P3 wire connectors.

Step 4b: 3-Way Wiring Application

• Follow the specific wiring diagram for 3-way applications. Note that one of the screw terminals from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black) or labeled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as the common (Line or Load) in both the dimmer wall J-box and 3-way wall J-box.

Step 5: Carefully position all wires inside the wall-box, leaving enough room to insert the dimmer housing. Mount the dimmer securely using the provided mounting screws.

Adjustment and testing

Step 6: Turn on power at the circuit breaker or replace the fuse.

Step 7: Testing and Adjustment

1. Move the slide control lever to the 30-50% position and push the rocker switch to turn on.
2. Move the slide control lever down to the lowest light level.
3. Turn the adjustment button counter-clockwise to the lowest desired brightness level where light output for all bulbs is stable and does not flicker or flash.
4. Push the rocker switch off and back on after 1 second to verify all lamps turn on and are stable.
5. If lamps do not turn on or do not satisfy your minimum brightness level, turn the adjustment button clockwise slightly to make all bulbs work and repeat steps 2 and 3.

Troubleshooting

• Lights flickering: Check for bad connections and reconnect wires.
• LED/CFL flickers at low end: Adjust the adjustment button as described in Step 7.
• Light does not turn on: Check if the circuit breaker has tripped, the fuse is burnt out, or the lamp is burnt out. Ensure the lamp neutral connection is wired correctly.
