wire here)
Cut
(if necessary)
Back Wire (either hole may be used)
Back wire openings use #14-12 AWG
solid wire copper only.
Side Wire Connection
Side wire terminals accept
#14 AWG solid wire copper only.
WIRING 4-SCENE CONTROLLER:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.
• Line Hot wall box wire to terminal screw marked "BK".
• Line Neutral wall box wire to terminal screw marked "WH".

Step 2
INTRODUCTION
Leviton’s Vizia RF +TM components are designed to communicate
with each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote control
of your lighting. Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide the
greatest signal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton’s Vizia RF +TM
component line is a Z-Wave®enabled device. In a Z-Wave®network,
each device is designed to act as a router. These routers will re-transmit
the RF signal from one device to another until the intended device is
reached. This ensures that the signal is received by its intended device
by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots. The
4-Scene Controller is compatible with any Z-Wave®enabled network,
regardless of the manufacturer and can also be used with other devices
displaying the Z-Wave®logo.
• This is a Z-Wave®Controller
• Scene control without traveler wires
• Can call 4 scenes
• ON/OFF LED
• Two way communication
• RF reliability
• Ease of installation – No new wiring
• Compatible with other Z-Wave®enabled devices

Step 8 Including 4-Scene Controller into Z-Wave®
Network:
Changing the color of your 4-Scene Controller:
Your 4-Scene controller includes three color options. The controller ships
with the White frame attached. To change color of frame, proceed as
follows:
Line up tabs
and press in
side to attach
Push in

button, before mounting frame, press out DIM/BRIGHT button (bottom)
from back of frame and press in from front of frame new DIM/BRIGHT
button. To make IR capable, replace with a DIM/BRIGHT button that has
the IR window.
INSTALLING YOUR 4-SCENE CONTROLLER
NOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed.
• Position all wires to provide room in
outlet wall box for device.
• Ensure that the word “TOP” is facing up
on device strap.
• Partially screw in mounting screws in
wall box mounting holes.
NOTE: Dress wires with a bend as
shown in diagram in order to relieve
stress when mounting device.
• Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.
• LED should turn ON.
If LED does not turn ON, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
Testing your 4-Scene Controller prior to
mounting in wall box:
Step 5
Bl
Restore Power:

4-Scene Controller Mounting:
TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE.
Step 6
Step 7

Including 4-Scene Controller into
Z-Wave®Network:
A) If using a Leviton Z-Wave®Programmer/Remote, Cat. No. VRCPG,
press the Menu button and scroll down to System Setup. Press
the center button to select System Setup Menu. Choose Advanced
Settings. Press the center button to select Network. Scroll down to
<Exclude Node> and press the center button.
B) If using VRCPG Programmer/Remote, you will be prompted to place
4-Scene controller into programming mode.
C) To access Program mode, press and hold buttons 1 and 3 (refer to
figure). Wait 5 seconds until the LED turns Amber. Release the buttons
and the LED will blink Amber. You are now in Programming mode.
NOTE: If the LED on the 4-Scene controller turns solid Red while
excluding, there has been a communication error.
D) While standing close to the 4-Scene controller (approximately 1 ft.),
press the center button on the Programmer/Remote to <Exclude>
device from the network.
Factory Default:
If your 4-Scene controller is not responding, or you are unable to control it
after you have tried to Include/Exclude it multiple times, it may be necessary
to reset the 4-Scene controller to its original factory settings. To accomplish
this, proceed as follows:
• On the 4-Scene controller (refer to figure), press
and hold buttons 1 and 3. Wait approximately 5
seconds until the LED turns Amber and then turns
solid Red. Release the buttons. The 4-Scene
controller is now reset. Once the controller is
reset, it will be necessary to Re-Include it to a
network before it can be used.
CAUTION: SETTING A DEVICE TO A FACTORY
DEFAULT DOES NOT EXCLUDE THAT DEVICE
FROM A NETWORK. THE EXCLUSION
PROCEDURE MUST STILL BE FOLLOWED TO
REMOVE THE DEVICE FROM THE PRIMARY
CONTROLLER’S INFORMATION TABLE. FAILURE
TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM THAT IS SLOW TO RESPOND, OR
MAY FAIL TO RESPOND TO SOME DEVICES.
