INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE
ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
OTHER CAUTIONS:
1. BOTH LIGHTING FIXTURE AND CONTROLLER MUST BE GROUNDED.
2. DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING FIXTURE OR CHANGING LAMPS.
3. USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE
USE ONLY DEVICES MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.
NOTE: The Power Extender must be installed in a 1900 Box with Raised Cover or a properly
grounded metal 2-gang wall box, 3.5" (8.9 cm) deep (refer to Figure 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B). Depending
on the application and the number of connections, more space may be needed. If so, use an
appropriate size box or box extension. Refer to Step 4.
TO INSTALL:
1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
OR FUSES AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
MORE THAN ONE CIRCUIT BREAKER CAN POWER THIS DEVICE. DISCONNECT “ALL” POWER
SOURCES BEFORE SERVICING CONTROL.
2. Remove 1/2" (1.3 cm) of insulation from each circuit conductor in wall box. Make sure that ends of
conductors are straight.
3. Connect lead wires per appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM and FIGURE 2 as follows: All connections
to the output terminals should be made using #12 AWG wire. Each power terminal can accept up to
two(2) #12 wires. The recommended installation torque is 9.0 in.-lbs. for line voltage connections.
4. Carefully position all wires to provide room in outlet box for Power
Extender. All Power Extenders must have 4-1/2" spacing above
4-1/2" (11.4 cm)
Minimum
and below each unit for proper ventilation and heat dissipation
(refer to Figure 4). Line voltage wiring should be at least 6 ft. away
from sound or electronic equipment wiring. Mount Power Extender
to wall box with “TOP” facing up as follows (refer to Figure 3).
For Wall Box Mounting: Refer to Figure 1A.
For Flush Mounting: Refer to Figure 1B.
For Panel Mounting (not shown), Proceed as follows:
a. The enclosure must be in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
b. Leviton DOES NOT recommend using a door to enclose the front of a panel, since this restricts
airflow to the controls.
c. If mounting multiple controls in an enclosure:
• Ambient temperature within an enclosure “MUST REMAIN BETWEEN” 32˚-104˚F (0˚-40˚C).
• If not mounting in a metal enclosure, all units “MUST” be mounted in a wall box.
d. To improve heat dissipation of controls, remove the faceplate from the unit.
5. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.
6. Tu rn ON the dimmer.
7. Using the dimmer control, verify that the load DIMS and BRIGHTENS smoothly and the lamps do
not flicker.
8. Attach wallplate by aligning tabs on back of plate with grooves in fins on Power Extender (refer to
Figure 1A and Figure 1B). INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

CONTROL
The operation of the PE100-1 follows the operation of the dimmer it is connected to.
To operate the PE100-1, the dimmer must be operated as follows:
ON: Tu rn ON the dimmer.
Turn OFF: Tu rn OFF the dimmer.
DIM: Adjust the dimmer DIM level.
BRIGHTEN: Adjust the dimmer BRIGHTNESS level.
Air Gap: Activating the air gap on the dimmer will cause the PE100-1 to turn
its controlled Load OFF.
CAUTION: The Power Extender will still remain powered, but it will
not activate the load.
Green LED: Illuminates when load in ON.
The PE100-1 has an air gap relay built in, therefore, the load will be disconnected
by an air gap when the dimmer is OFF or the air gap control on the dimmer is
activated.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• The Power Extender is not powered
- Circuit breaker is OFF.
- Power wires are not connected properly.
• The load does not turn ON, but the Power Extender is powered
- The dimmer is OFF.
- The dimmer air gap switch is activated.
- The dimmer is connected to a separate circuit, and the circuit breaker is OFF.
- Dimmer is mis-wired
• Control Neutral (from dimmer) wire is not connected to the Neutral of the
Line pair feeding the dimmer.
• Dimmer is not an incandescent, 600W dimmer or a Monet Magnetic Low voltage.
• The load turns ON, but quickly turns OFF
- Dimmer is not an incandescent, 600W version.
• No full range dimming
- Remove wallplate if necessary and ensure the Power Extender trim adjustment
(refer to Figure 3) is set to its fully counter-clockwise (ccw) minimum level.
