Multigang Installations
When installing more than one control in the
same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove
all inner side sections prior to wiring (see dia-
gram). If pre-installed, remove the Lutron
wallplate and wallplate adapter from dimmer.
Using pliers, bend side section up and down
until it breaks off. Repeat for each side section
to be removed. Removal of dimmer side sec-
tions reduces maximum load capacity. Refer to
chart below for maximum dimmer capacity.
