INSTALLING YOUR SWITCH
NOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed.
WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH;
TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test
that power is off before wiring!
Identifying your wiring application (most
common):
NOTE: If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble
any of these configurations, consult a qualified electrician.

• 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.
*
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 switch wall box and remote wall box.
Step 1
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.
• Acenti™ electronic switches are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with
compatible Acenti™ on/off remotes.
• Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• Use only one (1) electronic switch in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4
matching remotes with LEDs.
• 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.
Side Wire Connection
Side wire terminals accept
#14 AWG
solid copper wire only.
Back Wire (either hole may be used)
Back wire openings use #14-12 AWG
solid copper wire only.
Preparing and connecting wires:
This switch can be wired using side wire terminal
screws or through backwire openings. Choose
appropriate wire stripping specifications accordingly.

Installing your Alignment Plate:
Important Notice for Installer
To achieve proper aesthetic installation of the Acenti products,
the wall surface surrounding the wall box opening must be
fairly flat and free of irregularities. The wall box must be level
and recessed or flush to the wall surface. The Acenti installa-
tion system allows for adjustments that will correct minor flaws
that may be present in the installation area.
This device must be installed with the Acenti™ Alignment
Plate. The Alignment Plate is packaged with the Acenti™
Wallplate, which is sold separately from this device.
The Alignment Plate will function properly only if it is mounted
to a flat wall surface as described above.
Step 4
• Leviton recommends to temporarily position the Alignment Plate prior
to wiring the device. If the wall box wires extend at least 6 inches out
of the wall box, it is also possible to install the Alignment Plate after
the device has been wired (refer to Wallplate instruction sheet).
• The Alignment Plate must be installed with the tab towards the bottom.
• Leviton recommends the following 3 methods to temporarily hold the
Alignment Plate – use of device mounting screw, use of wall box wires,
or use of electrical tape (refer to the following figures):
Step 2
WIRING SWITCH:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.
• Line Hot wall box wire to terminal screw marked "BL".
• Load wall box wire to terminal screw marked "RD".
• Line Neutral wall box wire to terminal screw marked “WH”.
• Switch terminal screw marked "YL/RD" should have Red
insulation label affixed.
NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to terminal screw marked
"YL/RD", use electrical tape to cover.
• Proceed to Step 6.
