UNIT DESCRIPTION
The LightSense™ PSHDU Universal Dimmer provides dimming of various lighting load types. When used in conjunction with optional LightSense PSHC multilocation controllers, the PSHDU offers control of a dimming circuit from multiple locations.
Load Types
Use the LightSense Universal Dimmer for these load types (at 120V):
• • • •
Incandescent and quartz halogen lamps (25-600W) Dimmable electronic low voltage transformers (25-500W) Dimmable cold cathode, neon ballasts (25-500W) Dimmable, 2-wire fluorescent (Advance MK X or equivalent) and compact fluorescent ballasts (25-500W)* * Lamps must be burned in to manufacturer’s specifications before use. See “Fluorescent Setup” for configuration information. Do not mix different load types on the same dimmer.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, or a motor-operated appliance.
CAUTION
Afin de réduire le risque de surchauffe et la possibilité d’endommager d’autres matériels, ne pas installer pour commander une prise ou un appareil à moteur.
Do not use with fluorescent fixtures other than those listed.
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.

CAUTION
TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE INSTALLING THE DIMMER.
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 1/2". 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. Select your application to continue…
Single Location Application
5. Wire the LINE (black), NEUT (white), and GND supply wires to the correspondingly marked screw terminals and wire the load (black) wire to the LOAD terminal, according to Figure 1.

Two Location Application
Use with one LightSense™ PSHC multilocation controller. DO NOT WIRE WITH CONVENTIONAL SWITCHES AS PART OF a 3-WAY or 4-WAY SWITCHING CIRCUIT. 5. Install the PSHDU 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.
Load Wires
Connect traveler wire (red) between the REMOTE terminals on each device in the circuit. Max. traveler wire 200' (60m).

Three or More Location Application
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 PSHDU 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. Load Wires

Finishing the Installation
6. Attach the wall plate. 7. Switch the circuit breaker ON. 8. Make sure the LED on the PSHDU dimmer is lit. There is no LED on the PSHC controller. INSTALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND STANDARDS. Failure to follow these instructions may cause personal injury or equipment damage.

Fluorescent Setup
If the dimmer will operate 2-wire fluorescent or compact fluorescent loads, a special configuration step is required; if not, skip ahead to “Operation.”
1. Press and hold the top and bottom of the device panel simultaneously until the LED flashes yellow (about 2 seconds). 2. Release the top and bottom of the device pad simultaneously then press the top of the device paddle ( ) until LED briefly flashes red. 3. Press and hold the top and bottom of the device pad simultaneously until the LED changes to green (about 2 seconds). 4. To reconfigure the dimmer to control non-fluorescent loads, repeat the above steps 1-3, but press the bottom of the device paddle ( ) rather than in step 2; the LED briefly flashes green to confirm the cancellation of fluorescent 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 PSHC Multilocation Controllers 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.
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
With one or more PSHC multilocation controllers in the circuit, the dimmer works, but the multilocation controllers don’t function. LINE and LOAD connections might be reversed. Check to make sure the connections are correctly terminated at the dimmer. The PSHC Multilocation Controllers require a ground connection. Check to make sure the ground wires are securely connected.
The light level changes without pressing any switches, or the dimmer does not respond when I press its switch. There may be a problem with the traveler wire. Remove power from the circuit. Disconnect all traveler wires from the dimmer’s Remote terminals. Restore power. If the dimmer now operates the load properly, the problem is with the traveler wire. It may be too long or may be shorted to another conductor.
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 or a load below 25 watts. To clear the fault condition, tap and wait for the LED to turn green. Disconnect 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. To clear the fault condition, tap and wait for the LED to turn green. 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. To clear the fault condition, tap and wait for the LED to turn green. Remove power, rectify the short-circuit condition, restore power and try again.
