o We recommend using the terminals instead of the slip connectors found on the back of some devices. If the dimmer has wire leads, then twist the leads to the corresponding wire from the switch box and secure it by screwing on a wire cap.
o If the wire is stranded, twist the strands together.
o Create a "U" shaped loop of bare wire about 3/4" long.
o The screw tightens in the clockwise direction. Hook the loop under the terminal screw so that tightening the screw pulls the wire tightly under it, rather than pushing it out.
