| On / off switch |
| Slide dimmer |
| Only 1 dimmer can be used in a 3-way application |
| Dim from one, switch from other locations |
| Works with most LED, CFL, incandescent and halogen bulbs |
| Check Lutron's LED compatibility tool for specific bulb compatibility |
|
| Troubleshooting |
| Problem: Switch works in reverse in a single pole application |
| Do you have wires on a copper and a brass-colored screw? If so, remove the wire from the brass-colored screw and tie it onto the other brass-colored screw on the opposite side of the dimmer |
| Check the switch is not installed upside down |
| Problem: CFLs or LEDs do not dim, have a poor dimming range, or they flicker/flash |
| Check that 2 dimmers aren't being used in a 3-way application |
| Make sure the bulbs in use are marked as dimmable |
| Adjust the low-end trim dial |
| Bulb in use may not be compatible with this dimmer. Check Lutron's Compatibility Tool |
| If the bulb you are using flickers, drops out, or stops dimming when you reach a certain level, you have reached the low end level of the bulb's dimming range |
| Problem: Bulbs or dimmer buzzes |
| CFLs and LEDs have electrical components inside them that can make noise when the bulbs are on. The noise is not anything to worry about, but if the noise is bothersome, the best solution is to try a different bulb |
| Problem: One location will not turn on if the other location is turned off |
| The common and traveler wires are switched at one of the locations. Consult the installation guide and wiring diagram for wiring guidelines in a 3-way setup. The common wire will be identified as the "tagged" wire. This wire either brings line voltage into the wallbox, or delivers voltage to your lights. Traveler wires go between 2 wallboxes and typically "travel" together in the wall. If the common and traveler wire are switched on the control, one side will only turn on if the other is in the on position.
