INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

•Acenti™ electronic switches are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Acenti™ on/off remotes.

•Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

•Use only one (1) electronic switch in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching remotes with LEDs.

•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.

Tools needed to install your Switch:

Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver	Electrical Tape	Pliers
Pencil	Cutters	Ruler

NOTE: Use check boxes √ when Steps are completed.

Step 1 WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH;

TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring!

*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 switch wall box and remote wall box.

Step 3 Preparing and connecting wires:

This switch can be wired using side wire terminal screws or through backwire openings. Choose appropriate wire stripping specifications accordingly.

•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):

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 installa- tion 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.
