INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• vizia +™ electronic switches are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible vizia +™ on/off remotes.
• Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2”.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• Use only one (1) vizia +TM electronic switch in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching
remotes with LEDs .
• Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).
• 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.
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 switch wall box and remote wall box.

Preparing and connecting wires:
This switch can be wired using side wire terminal screws or
through backwire openings. Choose appropriate wire stripping
specifications accordingly.
• 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.

Step 4b cont'd
Line up tabs and
press in sides one at
a time to attach

NOTE: The switch must be installed in a wall box that has a Load
connection. The matching remote must be installed in a wall box
with a Line Hot connection and a Neutral connection. A Neutral wire to
the matching remote needs to be added as shown.
If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a
qualified electrician.
NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot
exceed 300 ft (90 m).
WIRING MATCHING REMOTE
(wall box with Line Hot connection):

• Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing
old switch and First Traveler to remote terminal screw marked "BK".
• Second Traveler wall box wire from switch to remote terminal
screw marked "YL/RD" (note wire color). This traveler from the
remote must go to the terminal screw on the switch marked "YL/RD".
• Line Neutral wall box wire to remote terminal screw marked "WH".
WIRING SWITCH (wall box with Load connection):
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.
• Load wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing old switch to
terminal screw marked "RD".
• First Traveler Line Hot to terminal screw marked "BK".
