For a fan with light(s) switched from one location
Important Notes
- Use DVFSQ-LF control with only one ceiling paddle fan per control. Not for use with DC motor fans.
- Do not wire DVFSQ-LF in circuit with a GFCI or AFCI breaker/receptacle.
- Use only with permanently installed ceiling fan fixtures with screw-in compact fluorescent, screw-in LED, halogen, or incandescent lamps. Avoid controlling receptacles, motor-driven appliances, or low-voltage transformer-supplied appliances to prevent overheating and possible damage to other equipment.
- Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
- If no "grounding means" exists in the wallbox, the 2011 National Electrical Code® (NEC®) allows a control to be installed as a replacement if 1) a nonmetallic, noncombustible faceplate is used with non-metallic 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 and use an appropriate faceplate such as Lutron Claro or Satin Colors series wallplates.
- For indoor use only, between 32 °F and 104 °F (0 °C and 40 °C).
- Clean dimmers with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
Installation Instructions
1. Before Installing
Identify which switch controls the fan and which controls the lights (only for lights and fans controlled from one location). Set multispeed fans to their highest setting before installing controls.
2. Turn Power OFF
⚡ Turn power OFF at circuit breaker or fuse before installing.
⚠️ WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. May result in serious injury or death.
3. Remove Existing Device
Tag the wire that is connected to the Line/Hot side of the switch (the side with the tab). Disconnect the wires.
