Operation of Dimmer Knob and Push Switch : Push knob ON or Push knob OFF the lamp. Turn knob right to increase brightness to maximum level. Turn knob left to decrease brightness to minimum level. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS NOTE: Operation at elevated temperatures or voltages may cause the thermal protection circuit to operate. If this happen, decrease the connected load to prevent re-occurance. THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION Build-in thermal protect circuit. Apply a re-settable thermostat component, when module temperature raise achieve 110°C will activate the protection, while temperature cool down approx. 75°C it will become normal operation. If occur frequently, please reduce loading. SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION Build-in short circuit protect, once activate, the dimmer will suspend operation around 5 second after that, it will auto-ON again.

Caution: An earth wire must be fitted if a metal mounting box is used. 7. If mounted into a plastic mounting box the earth lead must be fully insulated to prevent earth wire touching live parts or a push-in earth terminal. 8. Connect the wires to the correct terminals according to the marking on the back of the product and wiring diagram. 9. When replacing a switch, take note of the wire positions and terminal markings on the old switch. 10.
