Installation Instructions
Please Leave for Occupant
Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. Install in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to dimmer and/or equipment, use only
approved loads. See table for details.
2. When no "grounding means" exists within the wallbox for an existing
switch or dimmer, the 2011 National Electrical Code (NECR) allows a switch/
dimmer to be installed as a replacement as long as 1) a nonmetallic,
noncombustible faceplate is used with nonmetallic attachment screws or
2) the circuit is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. The 2008
NECR has the same allowances but does not contain the requirement
for nonmetallic attachment screws. When installing a switch /dimmer
according to any of these methods, cap or remove the green wire before
screwing the switch/dimmer into the wallbox.
3. These controls are designed to operate in ambient temperatures from 32 °F
to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C)
4. Strip wallbox wires. Important: When making wire connections, follow
the recommended strip lengths and combinations for the supplied wire
connectors. Twist wire connector tight making sure that no bare wire is
exposed. Note: Wire connectors provided are suitable for copper wire only.
For aluminum wire, consult an electrician.
5. Some dimmers require a neutral wire in the wallbox. If a neutral wire is not
present, contact a licensed electrician for installation. See wiring diagrams
and table for details.
6. Check for short circuits in new installations before wiring controls. With
power OFF, use standard switch and connect to lamp and voltage line. Turn
power ON. If breaker trips, a short is present. Correct wiring and check circuit
again. Install control only when short is no longer present.
7. Multiphase applications: Use a separate neutral for each phase containing a
control circuit. For more information, refer to Application Note 17, "Common
Neutral Interaction," P/N 360283, at www.lutron.com.
8. For best dimming performance, fluorescent lamps may need to be operated
at full light output for a specified amount of time prior to dimming. Contact
the lamp manufacturer for their specific recommendations concerning lamp
seasoning.
9. To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical cleaning
solutions.
Operation
Slide-to-Off Controls: Raise slider to increase light intensity. Lower slider to
decrease light intensity and turn off.
Preset Dimmers: Push button in center of slider to alternately turn lights on
to preset level (set by slider) or turn lights off. Raise slider to increase light
intensity. Lower slider to decrease light intensity. Push button again to turn
lights off.
3-Way and 4-Way Switches: When switching power from remote location,
lights will turn on to level set on dimmer (by slider), or turn off. Move slider
up or down to turn lights on or off. Note, use only one dimmer per circuit.

Installation
If more than one control is to be installed in the same wallbox, review the
Multigang Installation section before beginning.
are available for ganging multiple units.
1. WARNING: Shock Hazard. May result in
serious injury or death. Turn power OFF
at circuit breaker or remove fuse. Damage
to this product caused by wiring with
power on voids the warranty.
2. Remove faceplate and faceplate adapter (if applicable) from control to
prevent damage and to access mounting holes. Pull from top of faceplate to
remove. Unscrew faceplate adapter. Set aside.
3. Wire control per appropriate wiring diagram (see table on next page) using
wire connectors provided.
Note: Color names refer to the wire colors on the control.
4. Push wires into wallbox, allowing room for control to be inserted. Do not pinch
wires between wallbox and control.
5. Mount control to wallbox using control mounting screws provided. Controls
must be mounted vertically. See stamp on control for correct positioning.
6. Mount adapter plate with adapter mounting screws provided (see below).
7. Snap on slider and faceplate.
8. Turn power ON at circuit breaker or replace fuse.
Control
Minimum Light Level Adjustment: Dimmers are factory calibrated. Some
dimmers have the ability for low-end adjustment, which is not normally required.
If lamps flicker or drop out at the minimum dimming level there may be an
installation error. Continued use of the system in this mode will cause premature
lamp failure. If this is occurring, call the Lutron Technical Support Center at:
1.800.523.9466.
