Multigang Installations
When installing more than one control in the same
wallbox, it may be necessary to remove all inner
side sections prior to wiring (see diagram). If pre-
installed, remove the Lutron wallplate and
wallplate adapter from dimmer. Using pliers, bend
side section up and down until it breaks off.
Repeat for each side section to be removed.
Removal of dimmer side sections reduces maxi-
mum load capacity. Refer to chart below for maxi-
mum dimmer capacity.
