DESCRIPTION
The Miro MR2000 is a high capacity universal dimmer 
designed for remote mounting in a 4” square box with a 1½” 
extender. The dimmer is suitable for surface, semi-recess 
or plenum mounting. Remote user control is available by 
either binding the MR2000 to a wireless Miro control device 
such as a wireless multilocation controller (see Figure 1) 
or by wiring the MR2000 to a Miro multilocation controller 
through a traveler wire (see Figure 2).
The MR2000 is wired directly to the load. It is a forward 
phase control dimmer with a normally open air-gap relay 
at the load output. It provides 120/277VAC, phase to neutral 
input to the load.
Top Dog™ Wireless Communication
Watt Stopper wireless devices use radio signals to 
communicate with each other to control lighting and other 
types of electric loads in selected areas. These wireless 
devices use the 900MHz band for high-speed control 
communication. Using Watt Stopper “frequency-agile” Top 
Dog™ technology, these wireless devices avoid interference 
with other 900MHz devices, such as cordless phones and 
baby monitors.
Load Types
Use the Miro Universal Dimmer for these load types:
• 
Incandescent & quartz halogen lamps.
• 
Dimmable, 2-wire fl uorescent and compact 
fl uorescent, electronic low voltage, magnetic low 
voltage, neon or cold cathode.
Do not mix different load types on the same dimmer.
Do not use with fl uorescent lamps other than 
those listed. See SPECIFICATIONS.
CAUTION
Do not install to control a receptacle, 
or a motor-operated appliance.
ENVIRONMENT AND ORIENTATION
This product is designed for indoor use only where the 
ambient temperature in the unit’s vicinity does not exceed 
104°F (40°C). Allow space for ventilating 100 BTU/Hr. 
Unit must be mounted in a 2¹⁄
8
” deep 4” square steel 
electrical box plus 1½” extension such that the heatsink is 
spaced 1½” away from the wall in which the 4” square box 
is mounted. Unit must be oriented such that the heatsink 
fins run lengthwise vertically to permit natural upward 
convection whether wall or plenum mounted. Allow a 
minimum of 6” space above and below the unit and do not 
block vertical airflow though the heatsink.
