(if necessary)

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.

•   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.

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, do not install to control a receptacle, fluorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer 

operated appliance.

•  Acenti™ sensors are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Acenti™ remotes for multi-location operation.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

•  Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2”.
•  Maximum wire length from sensor 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.

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 

installation 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.

   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)
