HomeWorks QS Wired Maestro Designer Local Controls
Product Specifications
Introduction
HomeWorks QS Wired Maestro local controls function similarly to standard dimmers and switches but can be integrated into a lighting control system. They are ideal for locations requiring control of single lighting circuits or single ceiling paddle fans. The dimmers offer advanced features like fade on/fade off, delayed long fade to off, and rapid full on. All local controls include a Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS) for safe lamp replacement and can be installed in single-pole or multi-location setups. Remote dimmers/switches are also available. Lutron Designer (Claro or Satin Colors) wallplates or compatible designer-style wallplates are recommended and sold separately. Wallplates snap on without visible attachment means. Color change kits are supported for most models.

Dimensions
All dimensions are shown in inches (mm).
Front View: Height: 4¹⁄₁₆ in (119 mm), Width: 2¹⁵⁄₁₆ in (75 mm).
Side Views: Depth varies slightly. Common side dimensions include a width of 5⁄₁₆ in (8 mm) and depths of 1¹⁄₈ in (30 mm) or 1¹⁄₁₆ in (43 mm) for -2ANF models, and 1³⁄₈ in (35 mm) for -5NE models.
Mounting and Derating
Mounting and Parts Identification: The system includes a control unit, wallbox, mounting screws, wallplate adapter, and wallplate. The wallplate adapter and wallplate are purchased separately.
Ganging and Derating: When combining controls in the same wallbox, derating is required (refer to Load Type and Capacity). No derating is needed for remote dimmers, switches, or fan speed controls. The HWD-8ANS model has fins that may need removal for multigang installations: outside fins on end controls should not be removed, while inside fins on middle controls should be removed.

Notes on Load Types:
- ¹ Dimmer Load Types (-6D, -6ND, -10D, -10ND) are for permanently installed incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, or tungsten halogen loads only. Do not control receptacles or motor-operated appliances.
- ² Low-Voltage Applications: Use with magnetic (core and coil) low-voltage transformers. Not for electronic (solid-state) transformers. For electronic transformers, use HWD-5NE. Operation with inoperative lamps can cause transformer overheating; replace lamps promptly and use transformers with thermal protection.
- ³ Compatible with specific Lutron power boosters and load interfaces (e.g., HP-2, HP-4, HP-6, GRX-TVI, LUT-LBX, PHPM-PA, PHPM-SW, PHPM-3F).
- ⁴ Refer to www.lutron/ledtool for LED lamp/fixture compatibility and Application Note 487 for minimum/maximum loading.
- ⁵ HWD-8ANS is for lighting loads and motor loads up to 1/4 HP (5.8 A).
- ⁶ HWD-2ANF is for single paddle-type ceiling fans (permanent split-capacitor motor). Use the fan's pull chain for the highest speed setting. Do not use with shaded-pole motors, fans with integrated controls, other motor appliances, lighting loads, or fan lighting kits. See http://resi.lutron.com/Portals/3/Product/AppNotes/048-217a_prelim.pdf for more information.
Operation
Dimmer: Status LEDs indicate light level (glow softly as night light when off). Dimming rocker adjusts brightness. Tapswitch turns lights on/off. FASS switch is for service.
Switch: Status LED indicates load status (glows softly as night light when off). Tapswitch turns lights/motors on/off. FASS switch is for service.
Fan Speed Control: Status LEDs indicate speed level (glow softly as night light when fan is off). Speed control rocker adjusts fan speed. Tapswitch turns fan on/off. FASS switch is for service.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: FASS - Front Accessible Service Switch: To replace a bulb, pull the FASS out fully on all controlling devices to remove power. Push the FASS back in fully to restore power after replacement.
Wiring
Dimmer communications wiring can be daisy-chained, in a star, or t-tap configuration. Each home run on a bus can be up to 500 ft (152 m) and support up to 8 devices. The total wire length per bus (all home runs) can be up to 1000 ft (305 m). Up to 48 HomeWorks Wired Maestro Local Controls can connect to a HomeWorks Dimmer Hub (HWI-H48). Up to four HWI-H48 Dimmer Hubs can be on each processor link configured as an H48 link.
