Leviton VZH08-1L Installation Instructions

DI-000-VZH08-02C
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 Lutron 120V Hi-lume® or Eco-10™ (EcoSeries)
electronic ballasts for controlling the specific fluorescent lamps.
• 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.
• Only use lamps listed on ballast label. Compact Fluorescent lamps must have four pins for dimming.

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 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.

INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER
• Using a standard switch, connect appropriate wires to Hot circuit

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
