Leviton VZX12-7L 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 277V Mark 10™ Powerline 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

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.

MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION
In multi-dimmer installations, the side sections of the mounting
strap may require removal. Use pliers to carefully bend side
sections back and forth until they break off.
Typically, removal of the side sections in multi-dimmer
installations requires a reduction of the dimmer’s capacity.
However, there is no reduction necessary for this device.
Refer to the chart for maximum load per dimmer.

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 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 current 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 light will blink twice per second. To change the current
Set Dim-Lock level from 1-100%, 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 light 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. This 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.
