UNIT DESCRIPTION
The PSHDI incandescent dimmer controls incandescent or magnetic low
voltage lighting loads. Used in conjunction with LightSense™ PSHC
multilocation controllers, the PSHDI offers control of a dimming circuit from
multiple locations.
Load Types
Use the LightSense incandescent dimmer for these load types (40-600W at
120V):
• Incandescent and quartz halogen lamps
• Dimmable magnetic low voltage transformers (max load 500W)
Do not wire with conventional switches as part of a 3-way or 4-way
switching circuit.
Do not mix different load types on the same dimmer.
Do not use with diode equipped (some types of energy saving) lamps.
Do not use to control motors.
For dimmable, 2-wire fluorescent and compact fluorescent fixtures, electronic
low voltage, neon or cold cathode fixtures or diode equipped lamps, use the
LightSense PSHDU universal dimmer.
Derating
When
more than one dimmer
is installed in a multi-gang box, it is necessary to
reduce the maximum load on each dimmer:
• For a dimmer in either end position of a multi-gang box, reduce its maximum
load to 500W.
• For a dimmer in a central position of a multi-gang box, reduce its maximum
load to 400W.
Call 800.223.4185 for Technical Support
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of
overheating and possible
damage to other equipment, do
not install to control a receptacle,
a motor-operated appliance, or a
fluorescent lighting fixture.
CAUTION
Afin de réduire le risque de
surchauffe et la possibilité
d’endommager d’autres matériels,
ne pas installer pour commander
une prise, un appareil à moteur,
ou une lampe fluorescente.

INSTALLATION
For ease of installation, Pass & Seymour/Legrand recommends use of a deep
wall box.
1. Disconnect power to circuit by turning circuit breaker OFF before installation.
2. Remove existing wall plate and switch.
3. Strip existing wires

"
. If two wires will be connected to the same terminal
on a LightSense™ device, both wires must be the same gauge (12AWG or
14AWG).
4. If NEUTRAL wires are provided to the fixture, connect them together using a
wire nut. The dimmer does not use a neutral connection.

5. Wire the LINE (black), LOAD and GND supply wires to the correspondingly
marked screw terminals, according to Figure 1. Does not use a neutral
connection.

Two Locations
Use with one LightSense™ PSHC multilocation controller.
5. Install the PSHDI dimmer and the PSHC controller, following the wiring
diagram in Figure 2. The dimmer can go in either location. Use a 3-wire and
ground cable to wire between devices. (In existing 3-way switched
installations this wire is already in place.) The PSHC requires a ground. Be
sure to verify the ground connection.
Visit our website for FAQs: www.passandseymour.com
Three or More Locations
Use with two or more LightSense™ PSHC multilocation controllers, for
multilocation control. DO NOT WIRE WITH CONVENTIONAL SWITCHES AS
PART OF a 3-WAY or 4-WAY SWITCHING CIRCUIT.
5. Install the PSHDI dimmer and the PSHC controllers, following the wiring
diagram in Figure 3. The dimmer may be in any position in the circuit. Use
a 3-wire and ground cable to wire between devices. (In existing 3-way
switched installations this wire is already in place.) Be sure to verify the
ground connection.
Finishing the installation
6. Attach the wall plate.
7. Switch the circuit breaker ON.
8. Make sure the LED on the PSHDI dimmer is lit. There is no LED on the
PSHC controller.
For ease of installation, Pass & Seymour/Legrand recommends use of a deep
wall box.
INSTALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND
STANDARDS. Failure to follow these instructions may cause
personal injury or equipment damage.

Note: The dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
Replacing Lamps
When a lamp must be replaced, use the Air Gap Isolation feature for safety.
This feature is only available at the dimmer, which can be identified by its status
LED. (The remotes do not have an LED and can not operate this feature.)
To activate the feature from the dimmer:
Press FIRMLY, so that the paddle clicks and latches in. Make sure the
status LED is extinguished, indicating that it’s safe to relamp.
To release and return to normal operation, press .
Power Fail Memory
After a power failure, all LightSense™ devices automatically return to the state
they were in immediately prior to loss of power.
When you see

OPERATION
CLEANING
Clean using a cloth dampened only with water and a little mild detergent.
Use of solvents or hydrocarbon-based cleaners may cause permanent damage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
In a multilocation circuit with one or more multilocation
remotes, the dimmer works, but the multilocation remotes don’t
function.
This condition would exist if the LINE and LOAD connections are
reversed. Check to make sure the connections are correctly terminated at
the dimmer.
The remotes require a ground connection. Check to make sure the ground
wires are securely connected.
The Dimmer does not work and the status LED is flashing red
• at 1Hz (5 times in 5 seconds):
The dimmer has detected an unsuitable load. Remove power, check the
load, restore power and try again.
• at 2Hz (10 times in 5 seconds):
The dimmer has detected an overload condition and has shut down. Clear
the fault condition by returning the unit to OFF, disconnect loads in excess
of rated load and try again.
• at 3Hz (15 times in 5 seconds):
The dimmer has detected a short-circuit condition and has shut down.
Remove power, rectify the short-circuit condition, restore power, and try
again.
