Incandescent
Single-Pole: AY-600P, TG-600P
Rated at: 120 V~ 60 Hz 600 W
Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION: Use "AY-" or "TG-" models only with permanently-installed 120 V~
incandescent or halogen fixtures. To avoid overheating and possible damage to
other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures,
motor-driven appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances. Use "AYLV-" mod-
els only with core and coil (magnetic) low-voltage transformers. To control solid
state (electronic) low-voltage transformers, use Lutron electronic low-voltage
dimmers.
2. CAUTION: Operating magnetic low-voltage fixtures with all lamps inoperative or
removed may result in current flow in excess of normal levels. To avoid possible
transformer overheating and premature failure, Lutron strongly recommends the
following:
• Do not operate magnetic low-voltage fixtures without operative lamps in place.
• Replace burned-out lamps immediately.
030-520
• Use magnetic low-voltage fixtures with thermal protection or fused primary
windings to prevent transformer failure due to excess current.
3. When no "grounding means" exist within the wallbox then the NEC
404.9 allows a dimmer without a grounding connection to be installed as a
replacement, as long as a plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used. For this
type of installation, cap or remove the green ground wire on the dimmer and use
an appropriate wallplate such as Lutron's Fassada
4. Recommended minimum load is 40 W.
5. Protect dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling.
6. Dimmer and wallplate screws may feel warm to the touch during normal opera-
tion.
7. For new installations, install a test switch before installing the dimmer.
030-520 8. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
9. Clean dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
Multi-Unit Installations
When combining controls in a wallbox, remove all inner side sections prior to wiring (see below). Use pliers to bend
side section up and down until it breaks off. Repeat for each side section to be removed. Reduction of dimmer
capacity is also required. Refer to chart below for maximum dimmer capacity.
Remove all inner side
sections (shaded).
Do not remove outer
side sections.

AY-600P / TG-600P 600 W max. 500 W max.
AYLV-600P* 600 VA/450 W max.* 500 VA/400 W max.*
*Note: The maximum lamp wattage is determined by the efficiency of the transformer, with 70–85% as typical. For actual transformer efficien-
cy, contact either the fixture or transformer manufacturer. The total VA rating of the transformer(s) shall not exceed the VA rating of the dimmer.
