• Leviton's Decora ® Style design
• Universal design works with 1 and 2-Way Receivers
Leviton Residential Powerline Carrier Components are designed to provide the greatest signal integrity and noise immunity
possible. However, in some environments intense electrical noise can cause interference with the signal. Leviton has developed
hardware and techniques for overcoming this interference when properly applied.
LEVITON'S DHC DEVICES FEATURE INTELLISENSE, THE RIGHT TYPE OF AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC)
Leviton DHC devices use Intellisense, a special gated-type of AGC, to help eliminate noise problems (refer Figure 1). This circuit
feature is ideal for powerline carrier systems because it only operates during the signal window when receivers listen for command
signals. Noise levels in the signal window are never as high as they are during other portions of the AC power curve. Therefore,
Leviton's Intellisense gated AGC will desensitize a receiver to noise signals with only a minimal reduction in command signal
sensitivity. The result: Problems from noise interference are dramatically reduced without affecting overall system performance.
It is the responsibility of the specifier/installer to test for signal strength and the presence of noise using Leviton test equipment,
Cat. Nos. 6385 (Signal Test Transmitter) and 6386 (Signal Strength Indicator), and to properly apply signal coupling and noise
reduction equipment according to the guidelines provided in the Decora
Troubleshooting Guide.
Leviton specifically denies any warranty of performance, stated or implied, where electrical noise interference exists at the time of
installation, or subsequent to installation by the addition of noise-producing devices or equipment, or where these components
have been installed for non-residential applications. Installation of a Repeater/Coupler is recommended in all DHC systems.
DHC Components are for residential use only. Installation for any other application voids any warranty, stated or implied.
Wall box Transmitter
The HXCxx is a signal transmitter that works in conjunction with DHC receivers. The Wall-Mounted DHC Transmitter is designed to
provide manual control of loads from one or more locations in a home over standard 60Hz 120V wiring.
The HXCxx Transmitter Body incorporates Leviton's exclusive Intellisense™ Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuitry to deliver
clearer and stronger line signals without affecting signals simultaneously on the line from other transmitters. The resulting
performance reliability exceeds that of any other powerline carrier home automation product line available today.

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/tv Technician for help.
Rating: 120VAC, 60Hz
