LITETOUCH HYBRID WALL BOX DIMMER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The LiteTouch Hybrid Wall Box Dimmer is a configurable lighting control device, that when used in conjunction with the
FIVEk CCU C2000+ Card can become a component of a LiteTouch Lighting Control System. LiteTouch Hybrid Wall Box
Dimmers allow for control of the following Load Types:
- DIMMER Mode: Incandescent, (MLV) Magnetic Low Voltage and Electronic Transformer (See Fig.3)
- RELAY Mode: In RELAY Mode this device acts like a toggle switch to activate attached loads such as
fluorescent lighting, etc. (See Fig. 3)
WARNING - Hybrid Wall Box Dimmer is set with the following default settings.
- RF (Radio Frequency) Mode is the default communication mode. When installing via Cat5, switch the dip switch to WIRED Mode
position to ensure equipment communication.
- MLV (Magnetic Low-voltage) Mode or forward phase is the default fixture type. When driving transformer coupled loads, the
actual load wattage must be at least 80% of the transformers V/A rating or transformer hum, flashing and/or damage may occur.
When connecting to an ELV (Electronic Low-Voltage) transformer or inverse phase load, switch the dip switch to ELV/Normal Mode.
- RELAY Mode is the default functionality mode. When dimming a load, switch the dip switch to DIMMER Mode position to ensure
proper functionality.

PRE-INSTALLATION - Device Identity: Address wheels
For system recognition and response, Hybrid Wall Box Dimmer Address Wheels must be set. Addresses can be either manually selected
and entered into LiteWare® Design and Programming Software, or LiteWare can auto assign device addresses. (See Fig. 2)
Note: -
When you set the address of the device, both Station and Module communication will utilize the same address.
Addresses that are called out at the time of order are preset at the factory. Address wheels must be set at each device.
Available address range is “00” thru “FF”; 256 possible addresses. Maximum of 64 Hybrid Wall Box Dimmers per system.
Address 00 is reserved for Local Mode. In Local Mode, the Hybrid Wall Box Dimmer will allow for control of only the local
load that the device is attached to. Local load control on one and three button wall box dimmers is on the middle button.
Local load control on six button wall box dimmers is on the top left button.
INSTALLATION - Overview & Multi-Gang Installation Preparation
Wiring for the Hybrid Wall Box Dimmer consists of both High Voltage Wiring and Low Voltage Wiring (required for Wired mode).
Connections are made via two different wiring methods:
1. RJ-45 Connector. Eight wires allowing for Station and Module Bus
communication over a CAT-5 cable.(Required for Wired Mode).
2. High Voltage Connector. Five terminal lugs for solid AWG High Voltage
wires (ROMEX) used to power the wall box dimmer, the local load and
allow for 3-way control. (See Fig. 5)
Avoid Crowding the Wires
Too many wires forced behind the Hybrid Wall Box Dimmer may indirectly
apply pressure on the device that may damage the unit. To avoid this, do
not crowd the high-voltage wires and wire nuts behind the device.

Note: For ease of installation, deep back boxes are recommended.
Multi-Gang Installation
To create a multi-gang wall box dimmer, a LiteTouch multi-gang alignment
ring must be utilized. To attach the alignment ring to the wall box dimmer,
tighten the four screws per gang (two top and two bottom). This will evenly
position each single gang Wall Box Dimmer within the multi-gang metal
alignment ring allowing for a smooth faceplate attachment. (See Fig. 4)
Note: Any Designer Hybrid Wall Box Dimmers designed in LiteWare, and
ordered with complete design guides will be preassembled with the
multi-gang alignment ring at the LiteTouch factory.
LOW VOLTAGE WIRING - Preparation & Pre-Wire Instructions
To Pre-Wire for Hybrid Wall Box Dimmers, used in “WIRED” mode, pre-wire by
running, in series, CAT5 cable to each location.
Figure 5 - Rear and top view of device
