Leviton VZX10-1L User manual

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.
• Vizia™ dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ remotes for multi-location dimming.
• Use only one (1) Vizia™ 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 (90 m).
• 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 Connector Size Chart

• For 3-Way Matching Remote (with LEDs) Application, go to Step 4c.
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.

WIRING DIMMER:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
NOTE: When using the coordinating remote without LEDs, the dimmer
can be installed on either the Line or Load side of the 3-way circuit.
NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes
cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green dimmer lead.
• Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing
old switch to Black dimmer lead.
• First Traveler wall box wire to Red dimmer lead (note wire color).
• Remove Red insulating label from Yellow/Red dimmer lead.
• Second Traveler wall box wire to Yellow/Red dimmer lead
(note wire color). This traveler from the dimmer must go to the
terminal screw on the remote marked "YL/RD".
• Line Neutral wall box wire to White dimmer lead.
Lutron Tu-WireTM:
To determine total ballast load, add the line current found on the ballast label
for all ballasts in the circuit. This will indicate the total load for the control.
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver Electrical Tape
Pliers Pencil
Cutters Ruler
When installing more than one dimmer in the same location, the
side sections of the mounting strap must be removed. Use pliers to
carefully bend side sections back and forth until they break off. The
side sections dissipate heat, so removing them sometimes requires a
derating of the dimmer’s capacity (refer to chart).
MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION
NOTE: You only need to remove side sections if installing with other
dimmers or if it does not fit in wall box – not when installing with
mechanical switches.
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:
Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices:
Changing the color of your Dimmer:
Your Dimmer includes three color options. The Dimmer ships with the
White frame attached. To change color of frame, proceed as follows:
Line up tabs and
press in side to attach
Push in side at
tab to release

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.

NOTE: The dimmer must be installed in a wall box that has a Load
connection. The matching remote must be installed in a wall box
with a Line Hot connection and a Neutral connection. A Neutral wire
to the matching remote needs to be added as shown.
If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a
qualified electrician.
NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes
cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).
WIRING MATCHING REMOTE
(wall box with Line Hot connection):
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.
• Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when
removing old switch and First Traveler to Black dimmer lead.
• Second Traveler wall box wire from dimmer to remote terminal
screw marked "YL/RD" (note wire color). This traveler from the
remote must go to Yellow/Red dimmer lead.
• Line Neutral wall box to remote terminal screw marked "WH".

To Program:
NOTE: Have a flashlight handy if this
dimmer controls the only light source in
the room.
1. On the dimmer only, engage the
air-gap switch by gently pulling the
bottom of the push pad until it lifts
completely out of the frame and a
click is heard. Refer to figure.
2. Press push pad back into frame and
hold the push pad for 7 seconds until
the locator light and the top LED
(LED 1) start blinking.
3. Upon releasing the push pad, the
locator light will continue to blink once per second indicating the
dimmer is in Mode 1, Set Minimum Brightness mode. To change the
minimum Brightness level from 1-50%, use the DIM/BRIGHT Bar.
This setting will automatically be saved.
4. Tap the push pad to change to Mode 2, Set Dim-Lock Level mode.
The locator LED will blink twice per second. To change the current
Dim-Lock level from 0-100%, use the DIM/BRIGHT Bar. If this
feature is not desired, press and hold the lower half of the
DIM/BRIGHT Bar until no LED is lit. This setting will automatically be
saved.
5. Tap the push pad to change to Mode 3, Set Fade Rate mode. The
locator LED will blink 3 times per second. To change the current
Fade Rate, use the DIM/BRIGHT Bar to move the LED to the desired
preset level. The setting will automatically be saved by tapping the
push pad to exit programming mode.
The LED Brightness Display is separated into 7 segments. Each LED
represents a preset level with LED 1 (Preset 1) located at the top and
LED 7 (Preset 7) located at the bottom. Refer to chart for settings and
defaults.
NOTE: The dimmer will exit program mode after 3 minutes of inactivity.
