Single Unit Installation
1. TURN POWER OFF at fuse box or circuit breaker. Wiring
with power on can result in personal injury. Damage caused by
wiring with power on will void the warranty.
2. Remove wallplate and slider from control to prevent surface
damage and to access mounting holes. Pull out at top and
bottom edges, plate will snap off.
3. Strip wallbox wires. IMPORTANT: When making wire
connections, follow the recommended strip lengths and
combinations for the supplied wire connectors. Twist wire
connector tight making sure that no bare wire is exposed. Note:
Wire connectors provided are suitable for copper wire only. For
aluminum wire, consult an electrician.
4. Use wire connectors supplied to make the connections
shown in Figure I. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram for
your application on page 4, when installing control. Additional
wiring information may be found on ballast.

5. Carefully push wires into wallbox allowing room for the
control's backcover.
6. Mount control into the switchbox using center mounting
holes in the control's base and screws provided. See Figure J.

4. Wire each control according to Steps in "Single Unit
Installation" on page 3.
5. Install controls in wallbox(es). Use center mounting
holes as required for fi rst unit, then use offset mounting
holes as required for proper alignment. Remember to
keep all small controls grouped together. See Figure F.
6. Replace sliders and snap on multi-gang wallplate (or
multiple single wallplates) and adjust up or down for a
snug fi t. Multi-gang wallplates (with mounting frames and
instructions) are available in a variety of colors to beautify
and simplify your installation. See Figure G.

Figure H: Cutting Wallplate
Cutting Wallplates When Removing Side Sections:
Wallplates will need to be cut if side sections are
removed when not using a multi-gang wallplate. Place
wallplate on a soft cloth face down. Press fi rmly and
score the groove on the back of wallplate with a razor
sharp knife, using vertical groove to keep knife on a
straight course. Bend section back and forth to break
it off. Smooth edges by placing fi ne-grained sandpaper
on a fl at surface and rubbing edge of wallplate over the
sandpaper a few times. Hold wallplate steady as you rub
to keep a straight edge. See Figure H.
