For long low-voltage wiring runs, or where excessive electrical noise exists, shielded cable or conduit is required. A maximum quantity of 60 electronic controllable ballasts can be connected to one control. Install in accordance with all local and national electrical codes. Use only Lutron PP-20, PP-120H, PP-230H, PP-277H, PP-374H or PP-DV Power Packs for AC line switching. Connect the control as shown in Figure C1 or C2 based on the Power Pack model used. Do not install the Power Pack in the same wallbox as the Low-Voltage Ballast Control. Refer to the wiring sheet included with the Power Pack for more information. notice: LUTRON IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE DUE TO MISWIRING 0-10 V- CONTROL SIGNAL WIRES WITH LINE VOLTAGE.

When mounting controls in wallboxes, use center mounting holes as required for first control, then use offset mounting holes as required for proper alignment. See Figure E. Allow 1/32 in (0.08 mm) between controls for ease in attaching wallplates.

Multigang wallplates are available to simplify and improve the appearance of this installation. For retrofit installations, the side sections can be removed to fit existing wallboxes (refer to the section “Multigang Installations” – “Side Sections Removed” on page 4). Offset Mounting Holes 4. NTFTV: Install multigang wallplate adaptor and replace sliders, snap on faceplate. See Figure F. NFTV: Replace sliders and install multigang faceplate, adjust up and down for a snug fit. See Figure F. Figure F: Multiganged Control With Wallplate No Side Sections Removed No Side Sections Removed 1. Determine the number of wallboxes necessary by using the Wallbox Requirement Chart (Table A). Table A: Wallbox Requirement Chart No Side Sections Removed 1 1 Wallboxes Multigang wallplates, are available in a variety of colors to beautify and simplify your installation. Number of Controls 2 3 4 5 1+1* 4 4+1* 7 6 7+1* * See Item 2 2. When ganging, use 3 in x 2 in (76 mm x 51 mm) gangable wallboxes. Do not use plaster rings or gangbox covers. For an EVEN number of controls, one wallbox will be 3/4 in (19 mm) apart from the other wallbox(es) to provide necessary space for the wallplate(s). For example, when ganging four controls, three would be in the four connected wallboxes and one would be in a wallbox separated by 3/4 in (19 mm). See Figure D. Figure D: Wallbox Positioning Four-Ganged Controls 3/4 in (19 mm) space (use chase nipple) Four-gang gangable wallbox ® Single-gang gangable wallbox Low-Voltage Ballast Control Installation Instructions | 3 Side Sections Removed 1. One gangable wallbox is needed for each control in the multiganged control. Individually connect wallboxes or use a pre-assembled multigang wallbox. 2. Remove inner side sections of control only. Use pliers, bend side sections down as far as you can and then back to their original positions. Side sections will break off. NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE OUTER SIDE SECTIONS OF THE TWO CONTROLS WHICH ARE ON THE ENDS OF THE GANG. 3. When mounting, use center mounting holes as required for proper alignment. See Figure G. Figure G: Front View – Four-Ganged Installation Side Sections Removed Remove Inner Side Sections (shaded) Only Troubleshooting LIGHTS DO NOT OPERATE AT FULL BRIGHTNESS: • Push slider up. Turn trimpot counterclockwise with a small screwdriver to achieve maximum light intensity. • Check to see that violet and gray wires are not cross connected in any fixture, conduit, or wallbox. LIGHTS DO NOT DIM LOW ENOUGH: • A dimming range of 100% to 10% should be achieved for 10% dimming ballasts by moving the slider position. Check the ballast output with a light meter in the absence of other sources of illumination (or correct for other sources) at both high and low light readings. The ratio of the low reading and the high reading should be 1:10 or 0.1. • When taking the high-end measurement, the slider should be at the top-most position and trimpot adjusted to provide maximum light output. When taking the low-end measurement, the slider should be at the bottom most position. Allow lamps to stabilize for a minimum of 10 minutes before taking readings. • If the 100% to 10% dimming range is not achieved, check to see that violet and gray wires are not cross connected in any fixtures.
