Pilot light indicates DHC signal is transmitting. Use cat. no. HCA02-10E in installations requiring Intellisense niose immunity.
Note:A system amplifier must be installed in all panels in every DHC installation to ensure adequate signal strength.
I hope this helps!

Timothy,
That is part of a Leviton Decora Home Controls (DHC) system. Here’s a link to a .pdf brochure on the system that you can print if you like.

I don’t see the required 2 pole OC protection for this device. Was it there?

Michael,
Good point. I never examined the SE wiring while looking at this device. It appears to be improperly double tapped at the main lugs.
It definitely needs OC protection from a dedicated SP or a 2 pole circuit breaker.
Good Eye.

Was that equipment permitted to be in the cabinet?
What do the instruction's say?
Isn't it a 3 phase unit?

I agree with Joe.
I must be learning something.
1) Very unlikely this is approved for mounting in the panel
2) No overcurrent protection
3) Miss use of the lugs. / double tapping.
4) 3 phase 208 equipment used on a 240 volt single phase supply.
By the way did anyone notice all the NMs are coming into the panel through only two entries?
It is a common method in some areas.
