Using the LG100 with a Dimmer

NOTE: The LG100 should not be used with a dimmer on the LINE SIDE unless there is an auxiliary power feed connected as shown in STEP #1&2 – By using an auxiliary power source to control the GFCI the user can guarantee that the function of the device is not compromised by power that may be altered by the Dimmer.

1– Before unit is connected to any power,  Connect the auxiliary power to a standard 120v Edison. (This should be connected to a GFCI as well if unit is close to a wet location)
