  • Patent number: 7499261
    Abstract: A load control device is adapted to be installed in an electrical wallbox having a barrier. The load control device comprises a split enclosure having first and second enclosure portions spaced apart so as to define a gap, such that the gap is adapted to receive the barrier of the electrical wallbox when the load control device is installed in the wallbox. First and second connectors are provided in first and second openings of the first and second enclosure portions, respectively. The load control device is operable to receive a first control signal at the first connector and to generate a second control signal, which is provided at the second connector, in response to the first control signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7375951
    Abstract: A load control device is operable to receive a first control signal having a first magnitude and to generate a second control signal having a second magnitude. The load control device is adapted to be installed in an electrical wallbox having a barrier. The load control device comprises a split enclosure having first and second enclosure portions and a gap between the two portions. A first connector is provided in an opening of the first portion for receipt of the first control signal and a second connector is provided in an opening of the second portion for providing the second control signal. The gap of the split enclosure receives the barrier when the load control device is installed in the electrical wallbox, such that the first control signal is electrically isolated from the second control signal. Accordingly, the load control device meets the requirements of the National Electrical Code when installed in the electrical wallbox.
