Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. Note: Use "AY-" or "TG-" models only with permanently-installed 120 V~
incandescent or halogen fixtures. To avoid overheating and possible damage
to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting
fixtures, motor-driven appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances. Use
"AYLV-" models only with core and coil (magnetic) low-voltage transformers.
To control solid state (electronic) low-voltage transformers, use Lutron
electronic low-voltage dimmers.

•Use magnetic low-voltage fixtures with thermal protection or fused primary
windings to prevent transformer failure due to excess current.
3. When no "grounding means" exist within the wallbox then the NEC
Article 404.9 allows a dimmer without a grounding connection to be installed
as a replacement, as long as a plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used. For
this type of installation, cap or remove the green ground wire on the dimmer
and use an appropriate wallplate such as Fassada

Multigang Installations
When installing more than one control in the same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove all inner side sections prior to wiring
(see below). Using pliers, bend side sections up and down until they break off. Repeat for each side section to be removed.
Removal of dimmer side sections reduces maximum load capacity. Refer to chart below for maximum dimmer capacity.
Each control has

Important Note: Your wall switch may have two wires attached to the same screw
(see illustrations below for examples). Tape these two wires together before
disconnecting. When wiring, connect wires to dimmer the same way they were connected
to the switch.

Trim or strip wallbox wires to the length indicated by the strip gauge on the back of
the dimmer. Use the same procedure to wire your new dimmer as was used with
the old switch.
Push-In Terminals: Insert wires fully.
Note: Backwire holes are for use with
#14 AWG solid copper wire only. For aluminum
wire, consult an electrician. DO NOT use
stranded or twisted wire.
Or
Screw Terminals: Tighten securely. Screw
terminals are for use with solid copper wire
only. For aluminum wire, consult an electri-
cian. DO NOT use stranded or twisted wire.

Helpful Hint: If you are replacing a single-pole
switch with a 3-way or single-pole/3-way dim-
mer (AY-603P or TG-603P), the screw on the
same side as the different-colored screw is not
used. Tighten the screw securely.
Single-Pole Wiring
• Connect the bare copper or green ground
wire to the green ground screw on the dim-
mer (see Important Note 3).
• Connect one of the remaining wires removed
from the switch to the different-colored
screw (or backwire hole) on the dimmer.
• Connect the remaining wire removed from
the switch to the screw (or backwire hole)
opposite the different-colored screw on the
dimmer.
Or
3-Way Wiring
• Connect the bare copper or green ground
wire to the green ground screw on the dim-
mer (see Important Note 3).
• Connect the tagged wire removed from the
switch to the different-colored (COMMON)
screw (or backwire hole) on the dimmer. If
two wires were taped together, connect one
wire to the screw and insert the other wire
into the backwire hole near the screw.
• Connect one of the remaining wires removed
from the switch to either of the remaining
screws (or backwire holes) on the dimmer.
• Connect the last wire removed from the
switch to the remaining screw (or backwire
hole) on the dimmer.
Align dimmer and
tighten screws
clockwise.
