8. Remount switch plate if applicable, ensuring that the tabs with cutouts in strap and air gap switch lever are aligned
with cutouts in frame.
9. Attach wallplate. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
NOTE: On the lower left corner of the switch plate, there is an air gap switch. When servicing a controlled fixture,
pull out lever (OFF position). This will cut the power to the fixture. After servicing is complete, push in the lever (ON
position) to restore power. The lever must be pushed in all the way (ON position) for normal operation.
COLOR CONVERSION PROCEDURE
The color of Cat. Nos. HCSØ8 can be changed to suit your interior design requirements. Simply obtain a color
conversion kit of the appropriate color from your Leviton distributor or use the one provided, and proceed as follows:
1. The switch plate has snaps on its sides. Place the tip of a small-bladed screwdriver under a snap and gently pry
off the switch plate (refer to Figure 1).
2. Take the new switch plate and position it properly to the strap. Notice that the switch plate has an A/C indicator light
at one end. The switch plate should be installed with the A/C indicator light positioned at the bottom. With the switch
plate properly positioned, gently press it into place until it seats properly with a click. The color conversion is
complete.
TO OPERATE
ON:
Tap the upper half of the rocker. The lights will turn ON.
OFF:
Tap the lower half of the rocker. The lights will turn OFF.
NOTE:
To alert you that there is power to the switch when the load is OFF, the AC Indicator Light remains ON. To alert you
that the load is ON, the AC Indicator Light remains OFF.
To alert you that the load is ON, the AC Indicator Light remains OFF. To alert you that the load is OFF, the AC
Indicator Light remains ON.
NOTE:If a power interruption should occur while the device is on, the light load will return to its previous state when
power is restored.
NOTE: This device is equipped with 2-Way communication capability. When the switch is turned ON or OFF, it will
transmit status (ON/OFF) to the transmitter whose LED’s or readouts will adjust accordingly.
TESTING PROCEDURE
With Cat. No. HCSØ8 properly wired and powered-up, tap the switch plate several times to ensure that the switch is
turning its load ON and OFF in response to manual control. Leave the switch in the ON position. Next, use a
Cat. No. 6320, Leviton Table Top Controller, or any other controller, to check for proper switch operation as follows:
1. Transmit an OFF command to the switch. It should respond by turning its assigned Load OFF.
2. Transmit an ALL LIGHTS ON command to this switch from an appropriately coded controller. It should respond
by turning its assigned Load ON.
3. Transmit an ALL OFF command from an appropriately coded controller. It should respond by turning its assigned
Load OFF.
PERFECT PERFORMANCE CHECKLIST
If the Cat. No. HCSØ8 appears to be functioning improperly proceed with the following steps:
1. Confirm that the HCSØ8 is wired exactly as shown in the WIRING DIAGRAM.
2. Confirm that the switch is being supplied from a 120V, 60Hz AC source ONLY.
3. Confirm that the load being controlled is in proper working order. Local switch, ON (check for burned-out bulbs).
4. Confirm that the load being controlled does not exceed the 1000W switch limit.
5. Confirm that the Air Gap Switch Lever is pushed all the way in.
6. Confirm that unit is programmed properly. Repeat program procedure from Step 6 under “TO INSTALL” section.
NOTE: If the module still does not operate properly after following steps 1-6, the fault may not lie with the
module. Proceed with steps 7 and 8.
7. Set the controller to transmit address P1. Using a Cat No. 6386 Signal Strength Indicator plugged in on the same
branch circuit as the controller, confirm that the controller is transmitting a minimum reading of 2 volts of
command signal at the HI-RANGE setting. If the signal strength is less than 2 volts, have the controller checked.
8. Check for adequate command signal at the Cat. No. HCSØ8 location as follows:
A. Plug the Cat. No. 6385 Signal Test Transmitter into a receptacle on the same circuit as the controller.
B. Using the Cat. No. 6386 Signal Strength Indicator at the HCSØ8 location, check the command signal
amplitude. Signal strength must be 100mV minimum. If there is less than 100mV of signal present, it may be
necessary to couple both legs of the 120/240 volt power service at the entrance panel using Cat. No. 6299
Signal Bridge.
C. If the Yellow ERROR CONDITION indicator is lit, there is electrical “noise” present on the AC line which is
interfering with proper module operation. The source of the noise must be identified and either filtered out or
eliminated (See Technical Manual).
