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
below). 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 maximum load capacity.
Refer to chart below for maximum dimmer capacity.
