WARNING:

If a single Synapse controller is used to drive the DIM+ input of multiple LED drivers, then all of the DIM- lines from all drivers MUST be directly tied/shorted together to provide a common return/ground to the controller.
Synapse will not warranty or be liable for designs with any other electronic means of coupling DIM- lines from multiple drivers.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH: TURN OFF THE POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND VERIFY THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!

If applicable, remove the lighting control device currently installed in the fixture receptacle.
Align the TL7-HVG such that the large contact pin is positioned above the large receptacle contact.
Insert the TL7-HVG contacts completely into the receptacle contacts by pressing down.
While pressing down, twist the TL7-HVG housing clockwise until it locks into place. (See Figure 2)
If the device is properly seated, on power up (and until commissioned in a SimplySnap system), the TL7-HVG will immediately go to 100% dimming, then fade to 0% over 60 seconds, then back to 100%. If it does not dim, the device is not twisted into the proper position.

Note: To function properly, make sure the controller is inserted completely into the socket and twisted into the locked position.
