Leviton Acenti ACX10-1L User manual

Installing your Alignment Plate:
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 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.
•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).

Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices:
If installing Dimmer in a single device application, proceed with the
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER section. If installing Dimmer in a multi-
device application, proceed as follows:
MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION
In multi-dimmer installations, the reduction of the dimmer’s capacity
is required. Breaking off fins is not required on this device. Refer to
the chart for maximum load per dimmer.
WIRING DIMMER:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
•Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green dimmer lead.
•Line Hot wall box wire to Black dimmer lead.
•Load wall box wire to Red dimmer lead.
•Line Neutral wall box wire to White dimmer lead.
•Yellow/Red wire should have Red insulation label affixed.
NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to Yellow/Red dimmer
lead, use electrical tape to cover.
• Proceed to Step 6.
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.
•To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, use only with the appropriate Advance Transformer 120V Mark 10™
Powerline
or Lutron Tu-Wire™electronic ballasts for controlling the specific fluorescent lamps.
•When retrofitting Mark 10™
Powerline dimming ballasts into fixtures that originally had Instant Start ballasts, the sockets MUST be replaced with Rapid Start
sockets to allow proper dimmer operation and prevent damage to the dimmer ballast. Refer to the instructions provided with the ballast.
•Acenti™dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatibleAcenti™remotes for multi-location dimming.
•Use only one (1) dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching remotes with LEDs. The remote(s) will
turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
•Lamps must be burned in at full intensity for 100 hours prior to dimming for proper dimming performance.
•For new installations, wire a test switch before installing dimmer.
•Total minimum load must exceed 40W.
•Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
•Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".
•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.
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 dimmer wall
box and remote wall box.
For non-standard wiring applications, refer
to Wire Nut and Conductor Size Chart
MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE:
Mark 10™ Powerline dimmers are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The
maximum bulb wattage is determined by the efficiency of the Mark
10™ Powerline ballast. The following table shows the maximum
number of ballasts that can be connected to a single dimmer for
different Mark 10™ Powerline ballasts. Also note that the table shows
maximum ballasts for multi-gang installations.
Preparing and connecting wires:
Pull off pre-cut insulation from dimmer leads. Make sure that
the ends of the wires from the wall box are straight (cut if
necessary). Remove insulation from each wire in the wall
box as shown.
