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.
