Decora 16293 Manual

INTRODUCTIONLeviton Residential Powerline Carrier Components are designed to provide the greatest signal integrity and noiseimmunity possible. However, in some environments intense electrical noise can cause interference with the signal.Leviton has developed hardware and techniques for overcoming this interference when properly applied.LEVITON’S DHC DEVICES FEATURE INTELLISENSE, THE RIGHT TYPE OF AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC)Leviton DHC devices use Intellisense, a special gated-type of AGC, to help eliminate noise problems. This circuit featureis ideal for powerline carrier systems because it only operates during the signal window when receivers listen forcommand signals. Noise levels in the signal window are never as high as they are during other portions of the AC powercurve. Therefore, Leviton’s Intellisense gated AGC willdesensitize a receiver to noise signals with only a minimalreduction in command signal sensitivity. The result: Problemsfrom noise interference are dramatically reduced withoutaffecting overall system performance.It is the responsibility of the specifier/installer to test for signalstrength and the presence of noise using Leviton testequipment, Cat. Nos. 6385 (Signal Test Transmitter) and 6386(Signal Strength Indicator), and to properly apply signalcoupling and noise reduction equipment according to theguidelines provided in the Decora Home Controls (DHC)Technical Manual and the DHC Troubleshooting Guide.Leviton specifically denies any warranty of performance, stated or implied, where electrical noise interference exists atthe time of installation, or subsequent to installation by the addition of noise-producing devices or equipment, or wherethese components have been installed for non-residential applications.DHC Components are for residential use only. Installation for any other application voids any warranty, stated or implied.DESCRIPTIONThe Leviton Universal Switch, Cat. No. 16293, is designed for use with DHC Residential Powerline CarrierComponents. Cat. No. 16293 functions as a remote switching device which responds to coded ON/OFF, and ALLLIGHTS ON/OFF commands.Cat. No. 16293 can be operated manually as a standard type switch. The switch may be set to any of 256 address codes,to be selected at the time of installation. The desired address is set by removing the switch plate and selecting letter andnumber codes with the tool provided. The module is equipped with six-inch leads and installs in a standard wall box. It issuitable for incandescent, fluorescent, and magnetic low-voltage lighting loads.FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENTTHIS EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN TESTED AND FOUND TO COMPLY WITH THE LIMITS FOR A CLASS B DIGITALDEVICE, PURSUANT TO PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. THESE LIMITS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE REASONABLEPROTECTION AGAINST HARMFUL INTERFERENCE IN A RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION. THIS EQUIPMENTGENERATES, USES, AND CAN RADIATE RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY AND, IF NOT INSTALLED AND USED INACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS, MAY CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE TO RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT INTERFERENCE WILL NOT OCCUR IN APARTICULAR INSTALLATION. IF THIS EQUIPMENT DOES CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE TO RADIO ORTELEVISION RECEPTION, WHICH CAN BE DETERMINED BY TURNING THE EQUIPMENT OFF AND ON, THE USERIS ENCOURAGED TO TRY TO CORRECT THE INTERFERENCE BY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING MEASURES:• REORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA.• INCREASE THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RECEIVER.• CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM THAT TO WHICH THERECEIVER IS CONNECTED.• CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED RADIO/TV TECHNICIAN FOR HELP.INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSWARNING: TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES ANDREGULATIONS.WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT A QUALIFIEDELECTRICIAN.WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO OTHER EQUIPMENT, DO NOTINSTALL TO CONTROL A RECEPTACLE, MOTOR-OPERATED APPLIANCE, FLUORESCENT LIGHTING FIXTURE, ORA TRANSFORMER-SUPPLIED APPLIANCE.CAUTION (For Incandescent Only): USE WITH INCANDESCENT OR 120V HALOGEN FIXTURES ONLY.CAUTION (For Magnetic Low-Voltage Only):1. USE WITH MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS, INCANDESCENT, OR 120V HALOGEN FIXTURESONLY. USE A LEVITON ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE DIMMER TO CONTROL ELECTRONIC (SOLID STATE) LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS.DI-000-16293-00DUniversal Switch(Single Pole or 3 Way)Rated: 10A-120VAC, 60HZCat.

WHEN A MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT IS OPERATED AT A DIM LEVEL, WITH ALL LAMPS INOPERATIVE,EXCESS CURRENT MAY FLOW THROUGH THE TRANSFORMER. TO AVOID POSSIBLE TRANSFORMER FAILURE DUETO OVERCURRENT, USE A TRANSFORMER THAT INCORPORATES THERMAL PROTECTION OR A FUSE AT THEPRIMARY WINDINGS..OTHER CAUTIONS AND NOTES:1. DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING FIXTURE OR CHANGING BULBS.2. USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLYDEVICES MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.3. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT TECHNICAL DATA ALONG WITH TESTING ANDTROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION WHICH WILL BE USEFUL AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.TO INSTALL:1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE ANDTEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!2. Remove existing wallplate and switch or dimmer, if applicable.3. Remove 3/4" (1.9 cm) of insulation from each circuit conductor. Make sure that ends of conductors are straight.4. Connect lead wires per appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM as follows: Twist strands of each lead tightly and, with circuitconductors, push firmly into appropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on clockwise making sure that no bareconductor shows below the wire connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.NOTE: For single pole applications, cap YELLOW lead with an appropriate size wire connector. Secure connectorwith electrical tape.5. Using a small blade screwdriver, remove the switch plate by gently prying it off (refer to Figure 1).6. Using the tool provided, set the House Code Dial Letter and the Unit Code Dial Number to the desired code(refer to Figure 2).7. If it is desirable to change the color of the device, do so now by following the “Color Conversion Procedure”.8. Mount device “TOP” up to wall box.9. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.COLOR CONVERSION PROCEDUREThe color of Cat. Nos. 16293 can be changed to suit your interior design requirements. Simply obtain a color conversionkit 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 offthe 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 atone end. The switch plate should be installed with the A/C indicator light positioned at the bottom. With the switch plateproperly positioned, gently press it into place until it seats properly with a click. The color conversion is complete.HControlsomeecoraDDI-000-16293-00DCommand Signalis picked upGated AGC ignoresHigh noise levelsoutside signal windowNoise is notpicked upSignal Window Signal WindowReceiver sensitivitywith Intellisensegated AGCFigure 1 – Switch Plate RemovalSwitch PlateStrapPush in 2 Locations(see arrows)AC IndicatorLightFigure 2 – Dimmer FunctionsUnit Code Dial House Code DialAdjustment ToolDI-000-16293-00D 2/7/01, 3:55 PM1 |
