Important Notes
1. CAUTION: Use "AY-" or "TG-" models only with permanently-
installed 120V 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.
2. CAUTION: Operating magnetic low-voltage fixtures with all
lamps inoperative or removed may result in current flow in
excess of normal levels. To avoid possible transformer
overheating and premature failure, Lutron strongly recommends
the following:
030-538
• Do not operate magnetic low-voltage fixtures without operative
lamps in place.
• Replace burned-out lamps immediately.
• Use magnetic low-voltage fixtures with thermal protection or
fused primary windings to prevent transformer failure due to
excess current.
3. When no "ground means" exists within the wallbox, then NEC
380-9 exception to (b) allows a dimmer without a ground
connection, to be installed as a replacement. For this type of
installation cap or remove the green dimmer ground wire. A
dimmer installed under this exception (NEC 380-9 exception to
(b)) must be provided with a plastic, noncombustible, UL listed
wallplate.
030-538 4. Recommended minimum load is 40 watts.
5. Protect dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling.
6. Dimmer and wallplate screws may feel warm to the touch during
normal operation.
7. For new installations, install a test switch before installing the
dimmer.
8. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

removed. Reduction of dimmer capacity is also required. Refer to chart below for maximum
dimmer capacity.
Remove all inner side
sections (shaded).
Do not remove outer
side sections.
