Each 1 – 10V dimmer module has 5 screw terminals, L1, L2, C (common) and the 1 – 10 Y connections marked + and
1-Way Switching
In 1-way lighting circuits each light is controlled by 1 switch.
Connect the two wires either way round, to the C terminal and either L1 or L2. One of the L terminals is not used in 1-way switching.
2-Way Switching
2-Way lighting circuits have two switches controlling the same lights from Mo different locations.
This arrangement is commonly used at the top and bottom of staircases or at the entry and exit doors to a room.
One standard plate switch is used with the dimmer switch for 2-way switching applications. See below for a typical 2-way circuit.
