• Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are
straight (cut if necessary).
• Remove insulation from each wire in the wall box as shown.
• For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4a.
• For 3-Way Coordinating Remote (no LEDs) Application, go to
Step 4b.
• For 3-Way Matching Remote (with LEDs) Application, go to
Step 4c.
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, do not install to control a receptacle, fluorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer-
operated appliance.
• Use with incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only.
• 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.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• Dimmer may not operate with dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16™ or Philips PAR-16™).
• 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.
Step 4a cont’d
IMPORTANT: For 3-Way applications, note that one of the screw
terminals from the old switch being removed will usually be a
different color (Black) or labeled Common. Tag that wire with
electrical tape and identify as the common (Line or Load) in both the
dimmer wall box and remote wall box.

Testing your Dimmer prior to mounting in
wall box:
Step 5 To Program:
NOTE: Have a flashlight handy if
this dimmer controls the only light
source in the room.
1. On the dimmer only, engage the
air-gap switch by gently pulling
the bottom of the push pad until
it lifts completely out of the frame
and a click is heard and all LED’s
are OFF.
2. Press push pad back into frame
and hold push pad for 7 seconds
until the locator light and the top
LED (LED 1) starts blinking.
3. Upon releasing the push pad,
the locator light will continue
to blink once per second indicating the dimmer is in Mode 1,
Set Minimum Brightness mode. To change the current Minimum
Brightness level from 1-50%, use the DIM/BRIGHT Bar. This
setting will automatically be saved.
4. Tap the push pad to change to Mode 2, Set Dim-Lock Level
mode. The locator light will blink twice per second. To change the
current Set Dim-Lock level from 1-100%, use the DIM/BRIGHT
Bar. If this feature is not desired, press and hold the lower half
of the DIM/BRIGHT Bar until no LED is lit. This setting will
automatically be saved.
5. Tap the push pad to change to Mode 3, Set Fade Rate mode. The
locator light will blink 3 times per second. To change the current
Fade Rate, use the DIM/BRIGHT Bar to move the LED to the
desired preset level. This setting will automatically be saved by
tapping the push pad to exit programming mode.
The LED Brightness Display is separated into 7 segments. Each
LED represents a preset level with LED 1 (Preset 1) located at the
top and LED 7 (Preset 7) located at the bottom. Refer to chart for
settings and defaults.
NOTE: The dimmer will exit program mode after 3 minutes of
inactivity.
Mode Description Range Default
1 Set Min. Brightness 1-50% 25%
2 Set Dim-Lock Level 0-100%, 0=no lock 0
3 Select Fade Rate 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 Preset #1
Advanced Features Summary
Mode 1 – Set Minimum Brightness: Set the minimum brightness
level that the lights can dim to prior to turning full OFF.
Mode 2 – Set Dim-Lock: Set the brightness level that the lights will
turn on to regardless of the previous light level at which they were
turned OFF.
Mode 3 – Set Fade Rate: Set the amount of time (in seconds) that
the lights will have to turn ON or OFF. Fade rates can be set to one
of 7 different settings.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING FEATURES
Gently lift bottom
of push pad out
Air-Gap Switch: On the dimmer only,
engage the air-gap switch by gently pulling
the bottom of the push pad until it lifts
completely out of the frame and a click
is heard and all LED’s are OFF (refer to
Figure). This will cut power to the fixture to
replace the bulb. After servicing is complete,
push the push pad back for normal
operation.
Cleaning: Clean with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use chemical cleaners.
OPERATION
NOTE: The locator light will illuminate when the load is in the OFF
position to facilitate access in the dark.
NOTE: If using the dimmer in a 3-way application, the lights will turn
ON at brightness set on dimmer’s DIM/BRIGHT bar. The lighting can
be controlled from either the dimmer or the remote location.
Step 4c 3-Way Wiring with Matching Remote
(w/LEDs) Application:
Restore Power: Restore power at circuit breaker
or fuse.
Installation is complete.
