IMPORTANT:

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

Side Wire Connection

Side wire terminals accept #14 AWG

• Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are straight (cut if necessary).

For 3-Way applications, note that one of the screw

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Step 4 cont’d

• 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):

WIRING SWITCH: Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE: The switch must be installed in a wall box that has a Line Hot connection. NOTE: Maximum wire length from switch to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft.

• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

• Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing old switch

to terminal screw marked “BL”.

• First Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked “RD” (note wire color).

• Remove Red insulating label from terminal screw marked “YL/RD”.

• Second Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked “YL/RD”

(note wire color). This traveler from the switch must go to the terminal screw on the remote marked “YL/RD”.

• Line Neutral wall box wire to terminal screw marked “WH”.

WIRING COORDINATING REMOTE: Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE: "BL" and "RD" terminals on coordinating remote are unused.

Tighten both screws. NOTE: Maximum wire length from switch to last remote is 300 ft.

• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

• Load wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing old switch to First

Traveler (note color as above).

• Second Traveler wall box wire (note color as above) to terminal screw marked "YL/RD". This traveler from the remote must go to the terminal screw on the switch marked "YL/RD".

• Remove White insulating label from terminal screw marked "WH".

• Line Neutral wall box wire to terminal screw marked "WH".

• Proceed to Step 6.

• Position all wires to provide room in outlet wall box for device.

• Ensure that the word "TOP" is facing up on the device strap.

• Partially screw in mounting screws in wall box mounting hole.

Step 7

Switch Mounting:

• Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.

• Lights should turn ON. If lights do not

position to facilitate access in the dark.

Push Pad (Default settings) Turn ON from OFF position:

Tap – Lights turn ON.

Turn OFF from ON position:

Tap – Lights turn OFF. If there is a power outage, the lights will

return to the last state before the power interruption, when the power is restored.

Push
