Installing Your Dimmer

Installation for lights with one wall switch (single pole)

Some lights have one wall switch, while others have two or more wall switches (such as stair lights, which have a switch at both the top and bottom of the stairs). These instructions are for lights with one wall switch (called a single pole). If your light has more than one switch (called a 3-way), please visit www.casetawireless.com/3way for complete installation instructions and how-to videos.

1. Turn power off at circuit breaker!

   WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. May result in serious injury or death. Turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse before installing.

2. Remove existing switch from wall

   Remove the wallplate from the switch. Remove the switch and pull it away from the wall.

   [Diagram: Screwdriver removing switch from wallplate, then pulling switch out]

3. Remove side sections (if necessary)

   Bend back and forth. Do not remove outside side sections on dimmers at the end of a gang. Each dimmer has inside side sections removed. A dimmer in the middle has all side sections removed.

4. Disconnect all three wires* from the switch.

   *If your switch has more than 3 wires attached, see the "Installing Caséta Wireless in a 3-way switch application" video at www.casetawireless.com/3way.

5. Connect the dimmer
   1. Connect the bare copper (or green) "ground" wire from the wallbox to the green wire on the dimmer using a wire connector.
   2. Connect either of the remaining wires from the wallbox to either of the remaining wires on the dimmer using a second wire connector.
   3. Connect the remaining wire from the wall to the remaining wire on the dimmer using a third wire connector.

6. Mount the dimmer

   Use the screws provided.

7. Attach the wallplate

   Attach the adapter to the dimmer using the screws provided and snap on the wallplate. (If you installed the dimmer next to other dimmers or switches, you'll need to install a wallplate with the correct size/number of openings to accommodate all the devices.)

Important Notes on Installation

Maximum Wattage Derating

Removing side sections reduces the dimmer's maximum wattage rating. See the chart below for maximum wattage information.

*For maximum wattage information when mixing light bulb types, see www.casetawireless.com/ganging.

CAUTION

Use only with permanently installed fixtures with dimmable LED, dimmable CFL, halogen, or incandescent lamps. To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, motor-driven appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances.

Codes

Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

Grounding

When no "grounding means" exist in a wallbox, the National Electrical Code (NEC®) allows a control to be installed as a replacement if 1) a nonmetallic, noncombustible faceplate is used with nonmetallic attachment screws or 2) the circuit is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). When installing a control according to these methods, cap or remove the green wire before screwing the control into the wallbox.

Using Your Caséta Wireless Kit

The Caséta™ Wireless dimmer can be controlled from a smartphone when used with the Lutron® Smart Bridge™.
