NOTE: No derating is required for LED or CFL bulb applications.
If installing the dimmer in a single gang application, proceed with the
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER section. If installing Dimmer in a
multi-gang application, proceed as follows:

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE SHOCK OR DEATH; TURN
OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power
is off before wiring!
Step 1
IMPORTANT: For 3-Way applications, note that one of the screw terminals
from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black)
or labeled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as the
Common (Line or Load) in both the dimmer wall box and remote wall box.

• For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4a.
• For 3-Way Matching Remote (with LEDs) Application, go to Step 4b.
Side Wire Connection
Side wire terminals accept
#14-12 AWG solid copper
wire only.
For non-standard wiring applications, refer
to Wire Connector and Conductor Size Chart

COMBINATION CHART
WIRING DIMMER:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
NOTE: The DH6HD dimmer requires a neutral connection.
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green dimmer
terminal screw.
• Line Hot wall box wire to Black dimmer terminal screw.
• Load wall box wire to Red dimmer terminal screw.
• Neutral wall box wire to White dimmer terminal screw.
• Yellow/Red dimmer terminal screw should have Red insulation
label affixed.
NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to Yellow/Red dimmer

WIRING DIMMER
(wall box with load connection):
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
NOTE: The DH6HD dimmer must be installed in a wall box that has a Load
connection. The dimmer also requires a neutral connection.
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.
• Load wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing old switch to
dimmer terminal screw marked "RD".
• First Traveler Line Hot to dimmer terminal screw marked "BK".
• Remove Red insulating label from terminal screw marked "YL/RD".
• Second Traveler wall box wire (note color as above) to dimmer terminal
screw marked "YL/RD". This traveler from the dimmer must go to the
terminal screw on the remote marked "YL/RD".
• Neutral wall box wire to White dimmer terminal screw.
WIRING MATCHING REMOTE
(wall box with Line Hot connection):
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
NOTE: The matching remote must be installed in a wall box with a Line
Hot connection and a Neutral connection. A Neutral wire to the matching
remote needs to be added as shown. If you are unsure about any part of
these instructions, consult an electrician.
NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot
exceed 300 ft (90m).
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.
• Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing old
switch and First Traveler to remote terminal screw marked "BK".
• Second Traveler wall box wire from dimmer to remote terminal screw
marked "YL/RD" (note wire color). This traveler from the remote must
go to the terminal screw on the dimmer marked "YL/RD".
• Line Neutral wall box to remote terminal screw marked "WH".
NOTE: To synchronize LEDs between a Decora
®
digital remote and
the Decora
®
DH6HD dimmer, a dim up or dim down command must be
pressed on the remote.
• Proceed to Step 5.

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DO NOT
USE the remote for the control of high power heating appliances such
as portable heaters. There can be some unexpected consequences if
not used with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely
turned on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from
overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while
clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. This device will not control
lighting that is used with electronic low-voltage and high frequency power
supply transformers, nor high pressure discharge lamps (HID lighting).
This includes mercury-vapor, sodium vapor and metal halide lamps.
