INSTALLING THE SWITCH
DLM Slim Switches support two installation methods: surface mount or wall-box mount.
NOTE:
Before mounting, the battery protection tab should be removed.
Surface Mount:
Surface mounting requires use of a Legrand radiant
®
wall plate (not included). The adhesive pad is
suitable for mounting to multiple materials including drywall, metal, wood, glass, and some plastics.
1. Press and jiggle the wall box screws from the rear to remove them from the switch.
2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the grounding conductor at rear (no grounding is
needed for surface mount switches).
3. Peel the adhesive protector off of the rear of the switch.
4. Press the switch firmly into the mounting surface and hold pressure for 5 seconds.
5. Hook the radiant plate on the upper plate mount bracket, then press the bottom of the plate
into the switch to snap on the plate.
For
surface mounting in multi-gang applications
, snap-off side alignment wings are available to assist in proper alignment.
1. Press and jiggle the wall box screws from the rear to remove them from the switches.
2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the grounding conductor at rear of each switch.
3. Twist/cut to remove only the inner wing(s) from each switch in the gang. Do
not
remove the alignment wings that will be on the
outer left and right edges. So, for example, in a three gang application, remove the right alignment wing from the left switch,both
wings from the middle switch, and the left wing from the right switch, as shown below.
4. Peel the adhesive protector off of the rear of the switch.
5. Install with each switch in contact with the adjacent switch(es). After the first switch has been installed by pressing and holding for
5 seconds, place the next switch at approximately a 45 degree angle (so that the alignment wings contact), and rotate the switch
onto the wall, keeping the wings in contact as you do, and pressing for 5 seconds. Continue with any additional switches.
6. Install an appropriately-sized multi-gang Radiant plate. (i.e. 3 switches needs a 3-gang, etc).
Wall box mount:
Wall box mounting allows for use of any standard decora-sized wall plate (not included). If
using any plate other than a Legrand radiant wall plate, the top and bottom radiant mount
wings should be removed from the switch.
1. Connect ground wire if installing next to Class 1 power. If not, there is no need to
connect the ground wire (install in compliance with applicable codes).
2. Twist/cut to remove side alignment wings. If not using a radiant wall plate, also remove
the top and bottom wings).
3. Use included screws to secure switch to wall box.
4. Install wall plate per manufacturer instructions.
