Using your ngernail or a small athead screwdriver, pull out Safety button. This opens the mechanical contacts and removes all power from Dimmer and its load. (Because Dimmer's settings are stored in its non-volatile memory, your setup information will not be lost.) To re-enable power to Dimmer, simply push in the Safety button until it is ush with the trim frame.

Connection instructions:
Insulation strip length: 12mm Splicing wire connector: For 16AWG wires, Max twisting numbers: 3 The dimmer is rated for use with Copper wire only For supply connection, use wires rated at least 75 Grounding NEU LOAD LINE Using Dimmer or Relay Control in Virtual Multi -Way Circuits You can use Dimmer or Relay Control to replace switches in multi -way circuits that are already wired in or to create multi-way circuits where there is no existing wiring. These are called virtual multi
-way circuits. In a virtual multi-way circuit, only one Dimmer or Relay Control is actually connected to and controls the load. Any additional Dimmer or Relay Control modules (called Dimmer or Relay Control Secondaries) are only connected to the powerline via the line and neutral wires. All Dimmer or Relay Con trol can communicate with one another using Libre Home networking on the powerline. After wiring in Dimmer or Relay Control, you can create a virtual multi-way circuit by setting up all of the modules to control each other. The diagram below shows how you convert a wired-in 3-way circuit using two Dimmer or Relay Control. 3-Way Wiring Diagram Note: The wire colors indicated are the regular colors, may dierent in some homes.

Two of the wires are travelers from the preceding Dimmer or Relay Controls, while the other two are travelers to the next Dimmer or Relay Controls in the chain. You will convert the black traveler wires to line wires and replace the old 4-wire Dimmer or Relay Controls.
