If installing Dimmer in a multi-device application, proceed as follows: MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION In multi-dimmer installations, the reduction of the dimmer’s capacity is required. Breaking off fins is not required on this device. Refer to the chart for maximum load per dimmer. INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER NOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring! Identifying your wiring application (most common): NOTE: If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble any of these configurations, consult a qualified electrician.

Choose appropriate wire stripping specifications accordingly. Cut (if necessary) Installing your Alignment Plate: Step 4 WIRING DIMMER: Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows: • Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw. • Line Hot wall box wire to terminal screw marked "BL". • Load wall box wire to terminal screw marked "RD". • Dimmer terminal screw marked "YL/RD" should have Red insulation label affixed. NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to terminal screw marked "YL/RD", use electrical tape to cover. • Proceed to Step 6.

For Single-Pole Applications, Do Not Remove This Label. 4 3 2 1 Side Wire Connection Side wire terminals accept #14 AWG solid copper wire only. Back Wire (either hole may be used) Back wire openings use #14-12 AWG solid copper wire only. • Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are straight (cut if necessary). • Remove insulation from each wire in the wall box as shown. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS: • To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations. • If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician. • To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, fluorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer- operated appliance. • Use with incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only. • Acenti™ dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Acenti™ remotes for multi-location dimming. • Use only one (1) dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching remotes with LEDs. The remote(s) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS: • Dimmer may not operate with dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16™ or Philips PAR-16™). • Total minimum load must exceed 40W. • Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation. • Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2". • Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft. • Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing or removing fixture. • Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked CO/ALR or CU/AL. Single-Pole 1. Line (Hot) 2. Neutral 3. Ground 4. Load Step 3 cont’d Strip Gage (measure bare wire here or use gage on back of the dimmer) • For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 5a. • For 3-Way Coordinating Remote (no LEDs) Application, go to Step 5b. • For 3-Way Matching Remote (with LEDs) Application, go to Step 5c. IMPORTANT: For 3-Way applications, note that one of the screw terminals from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black) or labeled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as the common (Line or Load) in both the dimmer wall box and remote wall box. 5/8" (1.6 cm) 5/8" (1.6 cm) Important Notice for Installer To achieve proper aesthetic installation of the Acenti products, the wall surface surrounding the wall box opening must be fairly flat and free of irregularities. The wall box must be level and recessed or flush to the wall surface. The Acenti installation system allows for adjustments that will correct minor flaws that may be present in the installation area. This device must be installed with the Acenti™ Alignment Plate. The Alignment Plate is packaged with the Acenti™ Wallplate, which is sold separately from this device. The Alignment Plate will function properly only if it is mounted to a flat wall surface as described above. • Leviton recommends to temporarily position the Alignment Plate prior to wiring the device. If the wall box wires extend at least 6 inches out of the wall box, it is also possible to install the Alignment Plate after the device has been wired (refer to Wallplate instruction sheet). • The Alignment Plate must be installed with the tab towards the bottom. • Leviton recommends the following 3 methods to temporarily hold the Alignment Plate – use of device mounting screw, use of wall box wires, or use of electrical tape (refer to the following figures): Alignment Plate Held By Tape TOP Electrical Tape Alignment Plate Held By Wires TOP Alignment Plate Held By Mounting Screw TOP Mounting Screw Alignment Plate A B C Step 4 cont’d
