SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
LISSE DECO ACCESSORIES WITH METAL FRONTPLATES
Read these instructions fully before commencing work and
retain them for future reference.
1. Remove the round dimmer knob by
pulling it away from the frontplate.
These accessories are to be installed in accordance with
the current edition of the IEE Wiring regulations (BS 7671 :
Requirements for Electrical Installations) and appropriate
statutory regulations.
In the Republic of Ireland the installation must be
in accordance with the ETCI National Rules for Electrical
installations – ET 101.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT ON HOW TO
PROCEED, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
2. Remove any plaster debris and dust from the inside
of the Plate Switch mounting box (wall box). Ensure
that the heads of any box fixing screws do not
protrude into the box.
3. On 1 gang 4-lug metal boxes, bend the top and
bottom lugs inwards and out of the way to prevent
interference with this dimmer profile.
5. The layout of the terminal connections may differ
between fittings, carefully check the location of the
terminal connections before wiring.

6. Some decorative metal plate dimmers are supplied
with a clear plastic gasket that must be positioned
between the wall and the metal front plate. This
gasket must therefore be placed over the wires

8. Where necessary connect the fixed earth wire to
the earth terminal on the accessory and then
connect a short length of wire from the accessory
earth terminal to the earth terminal in the wall box.
If the earth wire is bare it should be sheathed with
a length of green/yellow PVC sleeving.

9. Secure the accessory by means of the fixing
screws provided, positioning the cables in the box
so as to avoid them being trapped.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
CIRCUIT AND OTHER EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY
WIRING COLOUR CHANGES
As from 1st April 2004 new installations in the UK
could be wired using the new EU harmonised colours for
the supply conductors of twin and earth cable:
To ensure optimum performance and reliability is
obtained from this dimmer switch during its lifetime the
following recommendations and precautions should be
followed as appropriate to the type of dimmer:
New colours
BROWN – LIVE
BLUE – NEUTRAL
CIRCUITS
Old colours
RED – LIVE
BLACK – NEUTRAL
The old colours ceased to be used after 1st April 2006.
It is recommended that the lighting circuit incorporating
this dimmer is protected by a 6A or up to a 10A
maximum Type B miniature circuit breaker.
Flexible cable colours remain unchanged:
BROWN – LIVE
BLUE – NEUTRAL
Only use two-way (push) dimmers in two-way switching
circuits. Only use one two-way dimmer in
a two-way switching circuit.
Unless Compact Fluorescent (CFL) lamps are marked
‘Dimmable’ they must NOT be used with these dimmer
switches. Use of non-dimmable CFL lamps may
permanently damage the dimmer or the lamp and will
invalidate any guarantee or warranty supplied with the
dimmer switch.
It is recommended that a maximum number of
5 dimming CFL lamps only should be connected to
an individual dimmer switch.
These dimmer switches are suitable for dimming
incandescent lamps and dimmable CFL lamps only and
are NOT to be used with Fluorescent lamps, Light
Emitting Diode (LED) lamps of any description or motor
loads.

When using mains voltage Tungsten Halogen lamps,
it is essential that these types of lamps incorporate
internal fuses and are from quality lamp manufacturers.
The use of inferior low quality lamps without internal
fuses is not recommended and will invalidate any
guarantee or warranty supplied with the dimmer
switch.

flexible cable:

To keep decorative metal frontplates clean, occasionally wipe
the frontplate with a clean soft cloth. Do not use any form of
cleaning agent as this could damage the decorative finish.
1. Remove the existing accessory (if using the new
accessory to replace an old one).
4. Always use cable of the correct rating and type.
Switch OFF the mains supply and remove the appropriate
fuse or switch off the appropriate circuit breaker before
commencing installation. Ensure that no one else has access
that would enable the supply to be inadvertently
reconnected.
11. It is normal for a faint buzzing sound to be heard
from the dimmer switch and is no cause for
concern.
7. Connect the new accessory as shown in the
appropriate wiring diagram ensuring that only the
bared copper core(s) enter the terminals and that
there are no stray strands. If necessary trim and
strip the cable to suit. The terminal screws must be
tightened firmly.
GENERAL INSTALLATION
2. Remove the clip-on frontplate by inserting a small
screwdriver alternatively into the small slots (A) on the sides
of the frontplate and gently prise off.
10. Replace the appropriate fuse, or switch on
the appropriate circuit breaker. Switch on the
mains isolator switch.
before they are connected to the dimmer. This is
particularly important on freshly decorated or
plastered surfaces.
Once the socket is installed replace the screwless frontplate
by clipping it back in place. Do this before reconnecting to
the mains power. Push the dimmer knob back into position.

LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS
It is recommended that dimmable electronic
transformers be loaded to at least 70% of their rated
maximum wattage.
Only use Low Voltage dimmers with transformers.
Do not use mains voltage dimmers.
PLATE SIZE
When running multiple lamps on dimmable electronic
transformers ensure that all lamps are working correctly.
Replace failed lamps as soon as possible as a single
failed lamp may cause flickering of other lamps.
Always check transformer compatibility BEFORE
installation and if in doubt always check with the dimmer
Helpline or the transformer manufacturer
The Low Voltage dimmer switches use leading edge
(phase delay) dimming technology and must therefore be
used with compatible good quality dimmable electronic or
wire-wound transformers. Trailing edge (phase cut)
dimmable transformers must not be used.

NOTE: The dimmer VA rating refers to the total circuit load,
not the lamp load. Allowances must be made for transformer
losses typically 20% for wire wound laminated and toroidal
transformers and 15% for dimmable electronic transformers.
