Dimensions
All dimensions shown as: in (mm)
Mounting
- Mount in 2-gang U.S. wall box 3.5 in (89 mm) deep or 4 in x 4 in (102 mm x 102 mm) junction box 2.1 in (53 mm) deep.
- Indoor use only.
- This device generates heat; mount only where ambient temperature is 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).
- Mount with arrows facing up to ensure adequate cooling.
- Allow 4.5 in (114 mm) above and below unit and between faceplates when mounting several in a vertical layout.
- Mount so line (mains) voltage wiring is at least 6 ft (1.8 m) from sound or electronic equipment and wiring.
- Mount within 7° of true vertical.
Mount to 2-gang U.S. wall box
Mount to 4 in x 4 in (102 mm x 102 mm), 2.1 in (53 mm) deep U.S. junction box
Mount to 4 in x 4 in (102 mm x 102 mm), 2.1 in (53 mm) deep U.S. junction box with barrier (for 277 V~ model if required by local electrical code)
Wiring
- Pull 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) copper (Cu) wires [167 °F (75 °C) minimum] for input power and load circuit.
- Strip 1/2 in (12 mm) insulation from wires before connecting.
- Run separate neutral for load circuit – no common neutrals.
- May be used with GFI breaker protected loads. Load circuit wiring (from GFI breaker to power module to load) must be run in its own non-metallic conduit, or nuisance tripping may occur. Maximum 100 ft (30.5 m) between power module and load.
- May be used with AFCI breaker protected loads. An AFCI circuit can be loaded to the full allowable NECR rating for switched lighting. If combining dimmed and switched lighting on the same AFCI circuit, the amount of dimmed lighting should not exceed 1000 W, as this may trip the AFCI breaker.
Single Power Feed
Note: The power module may be on the same circuit as the control unit
only if the total load does not exceed the rating of the breaker.

Wiring a Power Module to an LP, LCP, GP, or Home Works Panel
Up to three power modules may be wired to an output of a 120 V~ LP or LCP panel. The load type for the output must be set as Eco-10 or Hi-lumen fluorescent load type on the panel’s circuit selector (for an LP or GP panel), controller (for an LCP panel), or Home Works software (for a Home Works panel).
1 Load feed: 120 277 V~ if used with PHPM-SW-DV-WH power module
