1. Remove power from the breaker panel by switching o the panel’s main breaker.
2. Position and install a circuit breaker into one of the slots in the panel. Press fi rmly until the breaker is fully seated onto the appropriate bus
bars.
3. Position and install the Savant dimmer module into the slot where it will be installed. Press fi rmly until fully seated onto the appropriate bus
bars. Typically, the Companion Module(s) are installed alongside the circuit breaker but doesn’t need to be.
4. Use the wiring diagrams on the next page to complete the wiring.
Installation into Breaker Panel
Important Information
– To determine the feeder breaker’s size, do the following:
1. Determine the wattage requirements of each load connected to the dimmer module.
2. Sum up the wattage of all the loads.
3. Divide the total wattage by the input voltage. This is the total current drawn.
– To determine the number of breaker panel spaces needed, add the number of spaces required for each circuit breaker to the number of
spaces needed for the dimmer module.
• Each circuit breaker requires one space.
• Each dimmer module requires two spaces.
– The total current drawn from the loads should not exceed 80% of the size of the breaker for that circuit. For example, with a 15 amp breaker,
12 amps or 1440 watts. With a 20 amp breaker, max would be 16 amps or 1920 watts.
– Do not add MLV and ELV type loads to the same breaker/dimmer module circuit. MLV and ELV type loads should be connected to separate
breakers. Doing this could cause damage to the dimming module.
ELECTRIC SHOCK! The 120V AC, 60 Hz source poses an
electrical shock hazard that has the potential to cause serious
injury to installers and end users.
CAUTION! Risk of Electric Shock - More than one disconnect
switch may be required to de-energize the device before
servicing.
IMPORTANT! A licensed electrician is required to install Savant’s
Companion Modules.
