Leviton VZX10-1L Installation Instructions

DI-000-VZX10-02A
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.
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver Electrical Tape
Pliers Pencil
Cutters Ruler
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:
Push in side at Line up tabs and
tab to release press in side to attach
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
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.

section
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).

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.

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 (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.
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER
NOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed.

Preparing and connecting wires:
Step 3
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:
