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 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):

Tools needed to install your Fan Speed Control:
Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver
Electrical Tape
Pliers
Pencil
Cutters
Ruler
Installing Fan Speed Control by itself or with
other devices:
If installing fan speed control in a single device application, proceed
with the INSTALLING YOUR FAN SPEED CONTROL section. If
installing fan speed control in a multi-device application, proceed
as follows:
MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION
In multi-fan speed control installations, there is no derating
necessary. Breaking off fins is not required on this device. Refer to
the chart for maximum load per fan speed control.
INSTALLING YOUR FAN SPEED CONTROL
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!

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 fan speed control wall box and remote
wall box.
For non-standard wiring applications, refer
to Wire Nut and Connector Size Chart
Preparing and connecting wires:
Pull off pre-cut insulation from fan speed control leads. 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 other than appropriate ceiling fans.
•
To reduce risk of fire or electrical shock, this control is to be used with ceiling fans that are rated 120VAC, total load 1.5 amperes maximum.
•
For use on ceiling paddle fans with split-capacitor or shaded pole motors only. Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions or rating label on the
motor to confirm type. Use with any other types of motors or equipment may cause overheating and/or damage to the motors or equipment.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
•
Acenti™ fan speed controls are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible
Acenti™ remotes for multi-location control.
•
Use only one (1) Acenti™ fan speed control in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to
4 matching remotes with LEDs. The remote(s) will turn the fan on at the speed selected at the control.
•
Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".
•
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.
