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, use only with the appropriate Advance Transformer 277V Mark 10™ Powerline electronic ballasts for
controlling the specific fluorescent lamps.
• When retrofitting Mark 10™
Powerline dimming ballasts into fixtures that originally had Instant Start ballasts, the sockets MUST be replaced with Rapid Start sockets to allow proper
dimmer operation and prevent damage to the dimmer ballast. Refer to the instructions provided with the ballast.
• Vizia™ dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ remotes for multi-location dimming.
• Use only one (1) Vizia™ dimmer 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 light on
at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• Lamps must be burned in at full intensity for 100 hours prior to dimming for proper dimming performance.
• For new installations, wire a test switch before installing dimmer.
• Total minimum load must exceed 40W.
• Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
• Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".
• Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).
• 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 dimmer wall box and
remote wall box.
For non-standard wiring applications, refer
to Wire Nut and Connector Size Chart

• For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4a.
• For 3-Way Matching Remote (with LEDs) Application, go to Step 4b.
WIRING DIMMER:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green dimmer lead.
• Line Hot wall box wire to Black dimmer lead.
• Load wall box wire to Red dimmer lead.
• Line Neutral wall box wire to White dimmer lead.

(w/LEDs) Application:
Tools needed to install your Dimmer:
Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver Electrical Tape
Pliers Pencil
Cutters Ruler
If installing Dimmer in a single device application, proceed with the
INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER section. If installing Dimmer in a multi-
device application, proceed as follows:

MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE
Mark 10™ Powerline dimmers are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum
bulb wattage is determined by the efficiency of the Mark 10™
Powerline
ballast. The following table shows the maximum number of ballasts that
can be connected to a single dimmer for different Mark 10™
Powerline
ballasts. Also note that the table shows maximum ballasts for multi-gang
installations.

NOTE: The dimmer must be installed in a wall box that has a Load
connection. The matching remote
must be installed in a wall box
with a Line Hot connection and a Neutral connection. A Neutral wire
to the matching remote needs to be added as shown.
If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a
qualified electrician.

MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION
In multi-dimmer installations, the side sections of the mounting
strap may require removal. Use pliers to carefully bend side
sections back and forth until they break off.
Typically, removal of the side sections in multi-dimmer
installations requires a reduction of the dimmer’s capacity.
However, there is no reduction necessary for this device.
Refer to the chart for maximum load per dimmer.
