Decora 16293 Manuals

INTRODUCTION Leviton Residential Powerline Carrier Components are designed to provide the greatest signal integrity and noise immunity possible. However, in some environments intense electrical noise can cause interference with the signal. Leviton has developed hardware and techniques for overcoming this interference when properly applied. LEVITON’S DHC DEVICES FEATURE INTELLISENSE, THE RIGHT TYPE OF AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC) Leviton DHC devices use Intellisense, a special gated-type of AGC, to help eliminate noise problems. This circuit feature is ideal for powerline carrier systems because it only operates during the signal window when receivers listen for command signals. Noise levels in the signal window are never as high as they are during other portions of the AC power curve. Therefore, Leviton’s Intellisense gated AGC will desensitize a receiver to noise signals with only a minimal reduction in command signal sensitivity. The result: Problems from noise interference are dramatically reduced without affecting overall system performance. It is the responsibility of the specifier/installer to test for signal strength and the presence of noise using Leviton test equipment, Cat. Nos. 6385 (Signal Test Transmitter) and 6386 (Signal Strength Indicator), and to properly apply signal coupling and noise reduction equipment according to the guidelines provided in the Decora Home Controls (DHC) Technical Manual and the DHC Troubleshooting Guide. Leviton specifically denies any warranty of performance, stated or implied, where electrical noise interference exists at the time of installation, or subsequent to installation by the addition of noise-producing devices or equipment, or where these components have been installed for non-residential applications. DHC Components are for residential use only. Installation for any other application voids any warranty, stated or implied. DESCRIPTION The Leviton Universal Switch, Cat. No. 16293, is designed for use with DHC Residential Powerline Carrier Components. Cat. No. 16293 functions as a remote switching device which responds to coded ON/OFF, and ALL LIGHTS ON/OFF commands. Cat. No. 16293 can be operated manually as a standard type switch. The switch may be set to any of 256 address codes, to be selected at the time of installation. The desired address is set by removing the switch plate and selecting letter and number codes with the tool provided. The module is equipped with six-inch leads and installs in a standard wall box. It is suitable for incandescent, fluorescent, and magnetic low-voltage lighting loads.

WHEN A MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT IS OPERATED AT A DIM LEVEL, WITH ALL LAMPS INOPERATIVE, EXCESS CURRENT MAY FLOW THROUGH THE TRANSFORMER. TO AVOID POSSIBLE TRANSFORMER FAILURE DUE TO OVERCURRENT, USE A TRANSFORMER THAT INCORPORATES THERMAL PROTECTION OR A FUSE AT THE PRIMARY WINDINGS.. OTHER CAUTIONS AND NOTES: 1. DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING FIXTURE OR CHANGING BULBS. 2. USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY DEVICES MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL. 3. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT TECHNICAL DATA ALONG WITH TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION WHICH WILL BE USEFUL AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE. TO INSTALL: 1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING! 2. Remove existing wallplate and switch or dimmer, if applicable. 3. Remove 3/4" (1.9 cm) of insulation from each circuit conductor. Make sure that ends of conductors are straight. 4. Connect lead wires per appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM as follows: Twist strands of each lead tightly and, with circuit conductors, push firmly into appropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on clockwise making sure that no bare conductor shows below the wire connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape. NOTE: For single pole applications, cap YELLOW lead with an appropriate size wire connector. Secure connector with electrical tape. 5. Using a small blade screwdriver, remove the switch plate by gently prying it off (refer to Figure 1). 6. Using the tool provided, set the House Code Dial Letter and the Unit Code Dial Number to the desired code (refer to Figure 2). 7. If it is desirable to change the color of the device, do so now by following the “Color Conversion Procedure”. 8. Mount device “TOP” up to wall box. 9. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE. COLOR CONVERSION PROCEDURE The color of Cat. Nos. 16293 can be changed to suit your interior design requirements. Simply obtain a color conversion kit of the appropriate color from your Leviton distributor or use the one provided, and proceed as follows: 1. The switch plate has snaps on its sides. Place the tip of a small-bladed screwdriver under a snap and gently pry off the switch plate (refer to Figure 1). 2. Take the new switch plate and position it properly to the strap. Notice that the switch plate has an A/C indicator light at one end. The switch plate should be installed with the A/C indicator light positioned at the bottom. With the switch plate properly positioned, gently press it into place until it seats properly with a click. The color conversion is complete.
