English 3-Way Preset Dimmer
Incandescent
Three-Way: CPW0895
Rated at: 120 V~ 60 Hz 600 W
Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION: Use "AY-", "TG-" or "CPW" 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, fluo-
rescent lighting fixtures, motor-driven appliances, or transformer-supplied
appliances. Use "AYLV-" models only with core and coil (magnetic) low-volt-
age transformers. To control solid state (electronic) low-voltage transform-
ers, use Lutron electronic low-voltage dimmers.
2. CAUTION: Operating magnetic low-voltage fixtures with all lamps inopera-
tive 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:
•Do not operate magnetic low-voltage fixtures without operative lamps in
place.
030-970
•Replace burned-out lamps immediately.
•Use magnetic low-voltage fixtures with thermal protection or fused pri-
mary 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 Lutron's Fassada
series wallplates.
4. Recommended minimum load is 40 W.
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.
030-970
7. Only one dimmer can be used in a 3-way circuit.
8. For new installations, install a test switch before installing the dimmer.
9. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
10. Clean dimmer with a soft damp cloth only . Do not use any chemical cleaners.
Multi-Unit Installations
When combining controls in a wallbox, remove all inner side sections prior to wiring (see below). Use pliers to
bend side section up and down until it breaks off. Repeat for each side section to be removed. Reduction of dim-
mer capacity is also required. Refer to chart below for maximum dimmer capacity.
Remove all inner side
sections (shaded).
Do not remove outer
side sections.

Screw Terminals:
Turn screws counterclockwise to
loosen.
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 disconnect-
ing. When wiring, connect wires to dimmer the same way they were connected to the
switch.

Identify type of circuit.
SINGLE-POLE circuit:
Insulated wires connected to two screws of the
same color. Replace with a single-pole or 3-way
dimmer. Follow wiring "in a SINGLE-POLE circuit"
when completing Step 6.
OR
3-WAY circuit:
Insulated wires connected to three screws. One
of these wires is connected to a screw of a differ-
ent-color or labeled COMMON. TAG this wire to
identify it when wiring. Follow wiring "in a 3-WAY
circuit" when completing Step 6.

Prepare wires. 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 dim-
mer as was used with the old switch (see Step 3 and below).
Backwire Holes: 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.

In a SINGLE-POLE circuit
• 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.
• Note: If you are replacing a single-pole
switch with a 3-Way dimmer (AY-603P or
TG-603P), the screw on the same side as the
different-colored screw, is not used. Tighten
it securely.
OR
In a 3-WAY circuit
• 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.
