INSTALLATION • POWER CONSIDERATIONS
Example
To be sure NOT TO exceed the Multizone Controller’s input current in a conference room with four
partitions (1) Determine how many of each component you’d like to install—assume three NE505’s, two
NE600’s, and one NE100. (2) Use these quantities along with the Multizone Controller Load Rating
Verification Formula (Figure 2-4) to do the math (Figure 2-5) and verify that the combined input current
DOES NOT exceed the maximum input current.

INSTALLING COMPONENTS
If you need more information to help you install any component, instructions with additional illustrations
can be found on the components User Guide or Installation Instructions.
WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, or death; turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is
off before wiring!
WARNING: Disconnect power when servicing fixture or changing lamps.
WARNING: To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
WARNING: If unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.
Installing the Multizone Controller/Dimmer
WARNING: Do not connect line voltage wires to low voltage terminals.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment,
do not install to control a receptacle.
WARNING: Use only with the appropriate Advance Mark X™ 120V electronic dimming ballasts for
controlling the specific fluorescent lamps.
CAUTION: Use with incandescent, tungsten, 120V halogen fixtures, cold cathode, magnetic low-voltage
transformer fixtures, or Mark X™ 120V electronic dimming ballasts only. Do not use this
product to control electronic (solid state) low-voltage transformers.
