Important Notes:

  • Use only with permanently installed fixtures with dimmable screw-in compact fluorescent, dimmable screw-in LED, halogen, or incandescent lamps.
  • Do not use to control receptacles, motor-driven appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances to avoid overheating and damage to other equipment.
  • Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
  • If no grounding means exists in the wallbox, a control can be installed as a replacement when a plastic faceplate with plastic fasteners is used, or the circuit is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Lutron wallplates meet this requirement. Cap or remove the green wire before screwing the control into the wallbox.
  • Protect the dimmer from dust and dirt when painting or spackling the wall.
  • It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch during operation.
  • Clean the dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use chemical cleaners.
  • For indoor use only.

  • Use the blue connector for wire connections.

Note: Black and solid red wire on the dimmer are interchangeable.

3-Way (Lights switched from two locations):

IMPORTANT: Mark or tag the common wire (connected to the different colored screw) before removing the old switch.

Wiring:
