Which single-pole? Both dim the same lights. The grounded dimmer also switches on and off with a press of the knob, so the light comes back at the level you left it; it suits any box, including new plastic boxes. The basic dimmer only rotates; choose it for a metal box (which grounds the plate through its screws) or to replace a dimmer in an older box with no ground wire. North American codes generally require a metal plate to be grounded; ask your electrician if unsure.

Wiring
Important
- Never connect to mains power. It connects only to the driver's dimming terminals.
- Mains power goes to the LED driver, switched by a separate toggle if needed.
- In a multi-gang plate with mains devices, keep low-voltage and mains wiring separated in the box (a divider is usually required by code).
- Check the driver is 0–10V or 1–10V dimmable; standard (triac) LED drivers won't work with it.

Do not use for
- Outlets (receptacles)
- Lights, including fluorescent
- Transformers, motor appliances, or anything supplied by a transformer
- More than one fan
Using it
- Turn the dial about half a turn to start the fan (the motor needs a burst of power to start), then set the speed you want.
- If the speed suddenly drops, the dial is between steps; turn it a little further.
Installation
Turn off the breaker first. Install by a licensed electrician, following the NEC / CEC and local codes. If the wall box has no ground, cap or remove the green wire as the code allows (NEC 404.9(B), formerly 380-9(b)).

T568A swaps the orange and green pairs. Use the same standard at both ends. Keep the twists to within 13 mm (½ in) of the jack.
Wiring · RJ11 telephone
Older cable may use blue / white-blue for line 1 and orange / white-orange for line 2.
Installation
Install by a qualified installer, following local codes. Keep data and phone cable away from mains wiring: do not share a box with power cables unless a barrier separates them (NEC 800.133). On a plate that also has switches or outlets, the data or phone position needs its own box section or bracket. Test each CAT 6 run with a cable tester after fitting.

Questions, answered
How long does a custom plate take?
Custom plates are made to order. Lead times vary by design; contact us if you need a delivery date.
Which wiring standard is this for?
KLAS plates are made for North American back boxes. If you need a UK or EU format, contact us before ordering.
How is it installed?
Your plate arrives with the devices fitted. An electrician wires the leads, then two screws hold the plate to the wall box. Step-by-step guides with wiring tables: switch plates, outlets and dimmers.
Can I return a custom plate?
Custom and made-to-order items are non-returnable. See our refund policy.
Can I see the finish before I order?
Yes. Order a KLAS sample disc in any finish, or the complete set of six, and see it in your own light before you design your plate.
