Multigang Installations
In multigang installations, several controls are grouped hori-
zontally in one multigang wallbox.
• No derating is required for Remotes.
• When ganging Remotes with dimmers or switches in the
same wallbox, derating is required for the dimmers or
switches. See the installation instructions that came with
the dimmer or switch for derating requirements.
Note: Controls do not have fins that need to be removed for
multigang installations.
Installation
Short Circuit Check: Check the installation for short cir-
cuits before installing control(s). With power OFF, install
standard mechanical switch(es) between Hot and load.
Restore power. If lights do not work or a breaker trips,
check wiring. Correct wiring and check again. Install con-
trol(s) only when short is no longer present. Warranty is void
if control is turned ON with a shorted circuit.
Danger - Locate and remove fuse or lock circuit
breaker in the OFF position before proceeding.
Wiring with power ON may result in personal
injury.
1. Turn power OFF at fusebox or circuit breaker.
2. Prepare wires. When making wire connections, follow the
recommended strip lengths and combinations for the
supplied wire connectors. Note: Wire connectors provid-
ed are suitable for copper wire only.

10ND, -5NE, or -8ANS controls.
4. Push all wires back into the wallbox and loosely fasten
the control to the wallbox using the control mounting
screws provided. Do not pinch the wires.
