| I picked up a used dimmer switch that didn't come with instructions. It has 2 red, 1 green and 1 black wire. How do I connect this and which wire is supposed to lead to what? Thanks. |

| What manufacturer? What model? Is it line voltage or low voltage? Florescent or incandescent? Electronic or resistive? |

| Manufacturer is Leviton. It didn't come with any packaging so I'm not sure voltage, model or type it is. |
|
| I took the cover off it and got the info. Sureslide 6633-p 120 v Incandescent |
|
| What you have is a 3-way dimmer switch. The wiring diagrams are available on-line if you do a search. The green wire goes to ground, and the black to the hot supply. If you're using this in a 3-way mode, the two reds to go the other 3-way switch. In a single switch mode, one of the reds goes to the fixture, and the other red should be capped off and not connected to anything. |

| Thanks for the info. Hopefully I can hook it up tomorrow. |
