2 way switches replacement with Dimmers

[singinmgr]

Hello All

Would appreciate some advice on how to wire replacement dimmers for 2 way switching. Please see my diagram to see the current wiring. I have a master dimmer and a slave (Varilight Intelligent Touch types) The instructions from Varilight suggest that they wired in series i.e. live to live , load to load & master S to slave S.

your picture is very nice, but a photo of the back of the switch would be of more use since we have no reference what cores go together, and no markings on the switch to indicate switching pattern..

as a rule, switches are grouped in triangles, so the 1 at the top goes with the 2 and 3 at the bottom and vice versa..

info on what you're actually switching and what the other switch controls would help also..

based on your drawing I'd say it was wired as shown below...

Aren't there varilight instructions somewhere on this site?

Come to that, what do the OP's instructions say?

Thanks all for you input.

Great job ColJack your suggested wiring worked! Will bear in mind for future to post photos. Also looked a TLC instructions but found not that helpful.

Many Thanks again.
