INTRODUCTION
Leviton Residential Powerline Carrier Components are designed to provide the greatest signal integrity and noise immunity 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 (refer Figure 1). This circuit feature is ideal for powerline carrier systems because it only operates during the
signal window when receivers listen for command signals. Noise levels in the signal window are never as high as they are during other portions of the AC power curve. Therefore, Leviton’s Intellisense gated AGC
will desensitize a receiver to noise signals with only a minimal reduction in command signal sensitivity. The result: Problems from noise interference are dramatically reduced without affecting overall system performance.
It is the responsibility of the specifier/installer to test for signal strength and the presence of noise using Leviton test equipment,
Cat. Nos. 6385 (Signal Test Transmitter) and 6386 (Signal Strength Indicator), and to properly apply signal coupling and noise reduction equipment according to the guidelines 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 at the time of installation, or subsequent to installation by the addition of noise-producing devices
or equipment, or where these components have been installed for non-residential applications. Installation of a Repeater/Coupler is recommended in all DHC systems.
DHC Components are for residential use only. Installation for any other application voids any warranty, stated or implied.
DESCRIPTION
Wall box Transmitter
The HCCxx is a signal transmitter that works in conjunction with DHC receivers. The Wall-Mounted DHC Transmitter is designed to provide manual control of loads from one or more locations in a home over
standard 60Hz 120V wiring.
The HCCxx Transmitter incorporates Leviton’s exclusive Intellisense™ Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuitry to deliver clearer and stronger line signals without affecting signals simultaneously on the line from
other transmitters. The resulting performance reliability exceeds that of any other powerline carrier home automation product line available today.
FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user is 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 the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/tv Technician for help.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: INSTALL TO CONTROL SCENE DIMMERS AND APPLICABLE DHC RECEIVERS ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL TO CONTROL ANY LOAD DIRECTLY.
CAUTION: USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY DEVICES MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.
TO INSTALL:
1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
2. Remove approximately 3/4" (1.9 cm) of insulation from circuit conductors.
3. If using a standard Decora
®
wallplate, remove “A” tabs from strap (refer Figure 2). If using a Decora
®
Plus Screwless wallplate, leave tabs intact.
4. Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows: BLACK (Hot) wire to BLACK lead of device, and WHITE (Neutral) to White lead of device. Twist strands of each lead tightly together and, with circuit conductor, push
firmly into appropriate wire connector. Screw connector on clockwise making sure that no bare wire shows below the connector. Secure each wire connector with electrical tape.
5. Mount Cat. No. HCCxx in wall box using the screws provided.
NOTE: Ensure that the “PROGRAM BUTTON” is located at the bottom of the device when mounting (refer to Indicator Position Diagram).
6. Remove Front Face of Cat. No. HCCxx (refer to Color Conversion Procedure) to access controls for programming.
7. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse. Set the address using the “ADDRESS PROGRAMMING” sequence below.
8. Replace Front Face (see Color Conversion Procedure).
9. Attach the supplied programming instruction and code table labels to back of wallplate. Replace wallplate. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
ADDRESS PROGRAMMING
The system communicates via a “preset code” set on transmitters (this device), and receivers (dimmers and switches). The code consists of a letter code (A, B, C, …, P) and a number code (1, 2, 3, …, 16) (refer to
Indicator Position Diagram). The unit must be set (programmed) to allow it to communicate with devices in the Home Control System. This is accomplished by setting the controller’s transmit code to correspond with
dimmers and switches in the system it is installed in. Program as follows:
1. Determine what switches and dimmers you want to control.
2. The HCCxx multi-button controller will control devices set to the same code as itself. The first (most upper) ON/OFF buttons will control a device set to its code (i.e., “A5”). The next lower row and consecutive row
of buttons will control devices with sequential code settings (i.e., 1
st
row “A5” (device code), 2
nd
row “A6”, 3
rd
and 4
th
row (if equipped), “A7” and “A8”.
