1.
Determine the number of switchboxes necessary
by using the Switchbox Requirement Chart (Table A).
When ganging any combination of small dimmers
(N-600, N-1000) and large dimmers (N-1500, N-2000),
keep all small dimmerstogether at one end of the
gang and all large dimmers together at the other end
of the gang.
2.
When ganging an even number of small
controls use gangable switchboxes with tapped
ears. Do not use plaster rings or gangbox covers.
One switchbox in addition to the total number of
controls is required in order to provide space for
faceplates (e.g. 4 dimmers require 5 switchboxes).
Place additional switchboxes
3/4
in (19 mm) apart
from other switchbox(es) to provide space for
faceplate(s).
Multigang Installation-
No Side Sections Removed (No Derating Required)
In multigang installations, several dimmers or controls
are grouped horizontally in one ganging switchbox
or in a series of connected switchboxes. Multigang
faceplates are available to simplify and improve the
appearance of this installation. A multigang mounting
frame is provided with standard multigang faceplates
which ensures proper alignment of dimmers, easy
application of the faceplate, and a fl at surface for the
installation. Refer to instruction sheet (supplied with
multigang faceplate) when using these components.
Installation of dimmers without removing side
sections allows operation at full capacity (no
derating). Follow instructions below. For retrofi t
installations side sections can be removed to fi t
existing switchboxes. This requires derating and is
described in
"
Multigang Installation - Side Sections
Removed" on page 3.
5.
Push wires into switchbox, allowing room for
dimmer backbox to be inserted.
6.
Mount dimmer to switchbox using the 2 provided
screws in the center mounting holes (offset
mounting holes are for multigang installation).
Unit
