DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIONThe TDA-603 Universal Touch Dimmer is designed to replace a standard light switch or dimmer. It controls a varietyof load types including: incandescent, quartz halogen, dimmable magnetic or electronic low voltage transformers,dimmable cold cathode neon ballasts, dimmable two wire fluorescent (Advance Mark X or equivalent) and compactfluorescent ballasts.The Touch Dimmer operates in the following way:The load status LED located on the top of the paddle acts as a locator light. When the connected load is off, the loadstatus LED will be on at a dim level. When the connected load is turned on, the LED will increase in brightness. Theseven light level LEDs on the side of the dimmer show the current light level of the product. As the user presses andholds the paddle the light level LEDs will act as a bar graph indicating the current light level. For example when theconnected load is on at 50% brightness, the four lower LEDs will be illuminated. When the connected load is off, onelight level LED will be illuminated showing the preset light level.Caution: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles or motor-driven appliances.Important Notes1. Do not mix different load types on the same dimmer.2. Do not use with fluorescent ballasts other than those listed.3. For 3-way/multi-way installations, the Touch Remote (TDR) must be used in conjunction with the TDA-603. TheTDA-603 is not compatible with standard 3-way/4-way switches.4. For multi-way installations, do not exceed 200 ft. of traveler wire between all the devices.5. It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch during operation.6. Protect the dimmer from dust and dirt when painting and spackling.DeratingNo derating is required for up to 4 devices ganged together. When 5 or more devices are ganged together it isnecessary to derate all devices to 500W, regardless of the type of load that is being controlled.INSTALLATION AND WIRINGWARNINGDisconnect power to the wall switch box by turning OFFthe circuit breaker or removing the fuse from the circuit beforeinstalling the TDA-603, replacing lamps, or doing any electrical work.For ease of installation, manufacturer recommends use of a deep wall box.1. Prepare the switch boxAfter the power is turned OFF at the circuit breaker box, remove the existing wallplate and mounting screws. Pull the old switch out from the wall box.2. Identify the type of circuitYou may connect the TDA-603 to a single pole or multi-way circuit. If you are unableto clearly identify some or all of the wires mentioned in this manual, you shouldconsult with a qualified electrician.In a 3-way circuit (Fig.3) two traveler wires connect to both switches. Another wireprovides power from the circuit box to one of the switches. A wire connects from oneswitch to the load. A ground wire may also be connected to a ground terminal on the oldswitches.*URXQG+27 SRZHUIURPFLUFXLWER[/2$'SRZHUWRODPS1(875$/Fig 2: Typical Single PoleSwitch WiringTouch the top of theswitch as directed.Tap once Fade the circuit toits last-used level Tap twice Full bright Press and hold Increase thepresent levelTap once Fade the circuitto OFFPress and hold Decrease thepresent level Touch the bottom ofthe switch as directed.____YellowTDA-603GreenGROUNDLoad(HOT)RedBlackWhiteNEUTRAL120V/60HzFig. 1: Touch Dimmer OperationFig. 5: Single Pole WiringCaution – For your safety: Connecting a proper ground wire to the dimmer provides protection againstelectrical shock in the event of certain fault conditions. If a proper ground is not available, consult with aqualified electrician before continuing installation.3. Prepare the WiresTag the wires currently connected to the existing switch so that they can be identifiedlater. Disconnect the wires. Make sure the insulation is stripped off of the wires toexpose their copper cores to the length indicated by the “Strip Gage” in Fig. 4. (approx.½ inch)4. Wire the dimmer4a.
