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). Using pliers, bend side
sections up and down until they break off. Repeat for each side section to be removed.
Removal of Timer side sections reduces maximum load capacity. Refer to chart below
for maximum Timer capacity.
