- Page 6 Installation Understanding the di erent dimmer gangs This dimmer comprises 2 gangs: one is a standard LightwaveRF Dimmer module and is labelled ‘Master’; the other is a 2-Way LightwaveRF Dimmer module and is labelled ‘Slave’. The standard gang can be wired as a standalone dimmer OR be connected to other LightwaveRF 2-Way Dimmers to perform 2-Way switching.
- Page 7 Installation VERY IMPORTANT • A LightwaveRF 2-Way Dimmer needs to be used in conjunction with a standard LightwaveRF dimmer to perform 2-Way Switching. The LightwaveRF 2-Way Dimmer cannot be used in conjunction with a standard lightswitch. This will cause damage to the dimmer. •...

- Page 12 Installation Replace the plate – a ‘click’ sound should be heard to signify that the plate has been correctly replaced. Important things to consider • Wattage ratings for the Dimmers are per gang. The maximum circuit load for each 2-Way Dimmer Gang is equal to the maximum load on the standard LightwaveRF Dimmer it is connected to (i.e.
- Page 13 Compatibility & Lamps Compatibility Ensuring the compatibility of your lamps (bulbs) with LightwaveRF Dimmers will ensure that you get the best experience from your lighting setup. LightwaveRF dimmers are compatible with the following: • Selected dimmable LED lamps (see www.lightwaverf.house for further guidance and information).

Page 15: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Problem: The 2-Way Dimmer will not operate the lights and the LEDs on the Dimmer do not light up. Solution: Firstly, check that there is power to the dimmer. Make sure that the connected lamps (bulbs) are functioning correctly; the dimmer switch will not run unless it has a functioning lamp/s to complete the circuit. - Page 16 Troubleshooting Problem: The LED/CFL lamps that I am using flash / do not dim properly. Solution: Ensure that the lamps being used are dimmable; non dimmable lamps are not compatible with LightwaveRF dimmers. If the problem persists, the LED/CFL lamps may not be compatible with the dimmers; please contact technical help (via www.lightwaverf.com) for further advice.
- Page 17 How many devices can I have on the LightwaveRF system? Each device has 6 memory slots for up 6 controllers (one of these can be the Lightwave Link allowing up to 6 smartphones to control hundreds of devices. Can I use LED or CFL lamps? Most LEDs can be controlled as long as the lamps are dimmable variants (see www.lightwaverf.com for guidance).
- Page 18 The 2-Way Dimmer will, therefore, also default to o . This can be overridden using the Lightwave Link to set default status for devices on power up. See www.lightwaverf.com for details. Is it normal for the dimmer to get warm when it is turned on? Yes it is perfectly normal for dimmer switches to feel warm to the touch if left on for a period of time close to maximum load.
