Upgrades your existing standard single pole wall switches.
For automation of indoor/outdoor lights including front porch-patio-Hallway-and
stairway lights.
Rated at 500W (incandescent).
Dimmable through X10 controllers.
The 3-Way Wall Dimmer Module is designed to control incandescent loads
with a rating of between 40W and
500W. Lamps rated below 40W may flicker or operate erratically. A
Companion Switch (PCW03) is provided for
three-way operation. A push-button is located on the Wall Dimmer Module
and the Companion, for local on/off
control. A power cutoff switch, located only on the Wall Dimmer Module,
directly below the local on/off
pushbutton is provided for bulb changing. Both switches should line up for
normal operation.
Note: Wall Dimmer Modules must not be used to control appliances or
fluorescent lamps.
Installing the Wall Dimmer Module
• Disconnect power at the circuit breaker.
• Remove switch plates and unscrew existing switches from their
boxes. Identify the common wire at each
existing switch (usually connected to a different color terminal).
• Replace one of the existing wall switches with the Wall Dimmer
Module: connect the common wire to the blue
wire on the Wall Dimmer Module, and the two remaining traveler wires to
the red and black wires on the Wall
Dimmer Module.
• Replace the other existing wall switch with the Companion Switch:
connect the common wire to one of the
blue wires on the Companion Switch. Connect the red wire of the Companion
Switch to the same color
traveler wire that you connected to the red wire on the Wall Dimmer
Module. Connect the remaining traveler
wire from the old switch to the second blue wire on the Companion Switch.
Setting up the Wall Dimmer Module
• Set the House Code dial to the same letter set on the controller or
Security Console. The House Code for
monitored security consoles is downloaded by the security installation
firm. The default House Code is 'A',
when using the PRO2000.
• For normal lighting control, set the Unit Code dial to an unused
code which can be controlled from the
controller or an RF remote such as the Security Remote, PSR01 (switches
1-4 control Unit Codes 1-4).
• To use as the security light, set the Unit Code to the match the
Unit Code of the security console. The Unit
Code for monitored security consoles is downloaded by the security
installation firm. The default Unit Code
is '13', when using the PRO2000.
Note: The security light is the light which is flashed on/off during
an alarm and is controlled by the security LIGHT ON and LIGHT OFF
buttons on the PRO2000 console, keychain and security remotes).
4-Way Applications
• Using the Diagram above, The Wall Dimmer Module will be your master
and the Companion in the picture will
be your last switch. Utilizing one more PCW03 Companion Switch as your
middle switch, connect the two blue
wires from the middle Companion to the traveler wires carrying the live
connection from the Wall dimmer
module to the last Companion. Then connect the red wire from the middle
Companion to the traveler wires
carrying the "control" (red wire) from the Wall Dimmer Module to
the last Companion. You are simply
connecting in parrallel between the Live and the Control as they pass
through the middle box.
