For incandescent/MLV
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
• Turn OFF circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and test that power is off before wiring.
• Never wire any electrical device with power turned on. Wiring dimmer with power on
may cause permanent damage to dimmer and void warranty.
• If you are not sure about any part of these instructions, please contact a
licensed electrician.
IMPORTANT:
RF Smart dimmer will not work or will become damaged if wired incorrectly, and warranty will
be voided. Refer to wiring instructions provided on reverse side.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Press once to turn lights ON at previously selected level.
• Press again to turn lights OFF.
• When lights are OFF, press and hold for 2 seconds for full brightness.
• When lights are ON, press and hold for 2 seconds until the blue LED blinks. After the preset
delay, the lights will begin fading to OFF (up to 4 minutes).
• Amber ON/OFF LED indicates that dimmer is turned on.
DIMMING LEVEL ADJUSTMENT (RF9540-N only)
For maximum compatibility with different loads types, RF9540-N allows the user to set the
minimum level. Also to save on power consumption RF9540-N allows the user to set
the maximum level.
1. After installing the dimmer and restoring power, press on/off button to turn on the light.
2. Press and hold on/off button for five seconds until the blue dimmer LEDs begin to cycle
rapidly (NOTICE- after two seconds blue dimmer LEDs will start to flash indicating activation
of the delay off feature. Continue holding the ON/OFF button for three additional seconds
until the blue dimmer LEDs begin to cycle rapidly.)
3. Release the button. Dimmer will set the light to the previously saved minimum level (that
may cause the light to flicker or turn off). During initial setup, the light will set to the factory
minimum default.
4. Press either the dim or bright buttons to change the minimum level until the
light output is acceptable.
5. Press ON/OFF button. Blue dimmer LEDs will start to cycle rapidly again and the dimmer
light will go to previously saved maximum level.
6. Press either the dim or bright buttons to change the maximum level
until the light output is acceptable.
7. Press ON/OFF button, LED will flash indicating completion of programming
• NOTE – To restore the default min/max, repeat the steps above and adjust light levels to full
min/max settings by pressing dim/bright buttons until the light output no longer changes.
• NOTE - User could ignore setting max or min by pressing on/off button without changing the
dimmer level.
Rapid start feature (RF9540-N only)
This feature ensures that LED/CFL lights turn on when the dimmer preset level is low. With this
setting enabled, the lights may momentarily be brighter than the preset level (less than one sec-
ond) and then dim down to the preset level.
Depending on the type of light used, this feature may not be needed.
To enable/disable the feature, turn lights on. Press and hold the on/off button for 10 seconds
until the blue dimmer LEDs flash for the third time, then release the button.
CAUTION:
1. Use only with 120V AC 60 Hz.
2. Do not exceed maximum rating of the dimmer as indicated on the device.
3. Must be installed and used in accordance with electrical codes.
4. If a bare copper or green ground connection is not available in the wallbox, contact a
licensed electrician for installation.
5. Use only #14 or #12 copper wire rated for at least 75°C with these devices. Do not
use with Aluminum wire.
NOTES:
1. The RF Master Dimmer is wired directly to the light fixture.
2. The RF Smart Dimmer is not compatible with standard 3-way switches.
3. For Multi-location applications (3-Way or 4-Way) the RF Smart Accessory
Dimmer(s) is used along with one RF Master Dimmer.
4. The RF Accessory Dimmer communicates via RF signals to control the light from
more than one location.
5. For multi-location control use RF Smart Dimmer Master direct wired to the light
along with RF Accessory (RF9542-Z). The RF Accessory does not require direct
connection to the light (use Association function).
6. When installing more than one dimmer in a wall box the total lamp wattage may need to
be reduced. See Ganging chart.
GANGING When ganging multiple Smart Dimmer Masters in one wall box, derating is required
as follows

Z-Wave Device Network Installation Instructions
1. This product may be added to a new or existing Z-Wave network. A Cooper Wiring Devices
Z-Wave device has a blue LED, which will blink when the device is not included in a Z-Wave
network. The LED stops blinking when the device is in a network.
2. To include this device in a Z-Wave network, select the command on your Z Wave controller
for inclusion (Install, Add Device, Add Node, Include Device, etc.). Then press the device
switch one time to include it in the network. The LED will stop blinking.
3.To exclude this device from a Z-Wave network, select the command on your Z-Wave controller
for exclusion (Uninstall, Remove Device, Remove Node, Exclude Device, etc.). Then press the
device switch one time to exclude it from the network. The LED will start blinking.
4. This product works with other Z-Wave products from different vendors and product
categories as part of the same network.
5. This product is a listening node and it will act as a repeater in the Z-Wave network. It will
perform the repeater function with Z-Wave products from Cooper and from other Z-Wave
vendors.
