WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.
• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, use only with the appropriate Lutron 120V Hi-lume® or Eco-10™ (EcoSeries)
electronic ballasts for controlling the specific fluorescent lamps.
• Vizia™ dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ remotes for multi-location dimming.
• Use only one (1) Vizia™ dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching remotes with LEDs. The
remote(s) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.
• Only use lamps listed on ballast label. Compact Fluorescent lamps must have four pins for dimming.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• Lamps must be burned in at full intensity for 100 hours prior to dimming for proper dimming performance.
• For new installations, wire a test switch before installing dimmer.
• Total minimum load must exceed 40W.
• Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
• Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".
• Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft.
• Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing or removing fixture.
• Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked CO/ALR or CU/AL.
The maximum current rating is 6A, which can be measured from
the incoming Hot (Black) on the dimmer. Refer to the ballast
label to determine the total load on the dimmer circuit. The total
load is calculated by adding all of the ballast input currents for all
ballasts on dimmer.
