HD-RD HD-RS
Overview
The HD-RD Remote Dimmer and the HD-RS Remote
Switch are for use with HomeWorks Maestro Dimmers and
Switches.
Up to nine HD-RD Remote Dimmers may be used with a
HomeWorks Wired or RF Maestro Dimmer, and up to nine
HD-RS Remote Switches may be used with a HomeWorks
Wired or RF Maestro Switch.
Important Notes
Codes: Install in accordance with all local and national elec-
trical codes.
Danger: These controls must not be used to con-
trol equipment which is not visible from every con-
trol location. They must also not be used to con-
trol equipment which could create hazardous situ-
ations such as entrapment if operated accidentally.
Examples of such equipment which must not be operated
by these controls include (but are not limited to) motorized
gates, garage doors, industrial doors, microwave ovens,
heating pads, etc. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure
that the equipment being controlled is visible from every
control location and that only suitable equipment is connect-
ed to these controls.
Overheat Damage: To reduce the risk of overheating and
possibly damaging other equipment, do not install
to control receptacles or motor-operated appliances.
Environment: Ambient operating temperature:
0-40°C, 32-104°F, 0-90% humidity, non-condensing. Indoor
use only.
Spacing: If mounting one control above another, leave at
least 4 1/2" (114mm) vertical space between them.
Wallplates: Lutron Claro®and Satin ColorsTM wallplates are
recommended for best color match and aesthetic appear-
ance. Do not paint controls or wallplates.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO NOT
use any chemical cleaning solutions.
Wallboxes: Lutron recommends using 3-1/2" (89mm) deep
wallboxes for easier installation. Several controls may be
installed in one multigang wallbox - see Multigang
Installations (page 2).
Remotes: Use only Lutron®HomeWorks Maestro Remote
Dimmers (HD-RD) with HRD/HWD-6D, -6ND, -10D, -10ND,
and -5NE controls. Use only Lutron HomeWorks Maestro
Remote Switches (HD-RS) with HRD/HWD-8ANS controls.
Up to 9 HD-RD or HD-RS controls may be used with a
HomeWorks Maestro Dimmer or Switch. Mechanical 3- or 4-
way switches will not work.

Multigang Installations
In multigang installations, several controls are grouped hori-
zontally in one multigang wallbox.
• No derating is required for Remotes.
• When ganging Remotes with dimmers or switches in the
same wallbox, derating is required for the dimmers or
switches. See the installation instructions that came with
the dimmer or switch for derating requirements.
Note: Controls do not have fins that need to be removed for
multigang installations.
Installation
Short Circuit Check: Check the installation for short cir-
cuits before installing control(s). With power OFF, install
standard mechanical switch(es) between Hot and load.
Restore power. If lights do not work or a breaker trips,
check wiring. Correct wiring and check again. Install con-
trol(s) only when short is no longer present. Warranty is void
if control is turned ON with a shorted circuit.
Danger - Locate and remove fuse or lock circuit
breaker in the OFF position before proceeding.
Wiring with power ON may result in personal
injury.
1. Turn power OFF at fusebox or circuit breaker.
2. Prepare wires. When making wire connections, follow the
recommended strip lengths and combinations for the
supplied wire connectors. Note: Wire connectors provid-
ed are suitable for copper wire only.
Large:
3. Wire controls using Wiring Diagrams 1 and 2 (page 3).
When using power boosters or interfaces, use Wiring
Diagrams 3, 4, and 5 (page 4). Up to nine HD-RD or HD-
RS remotes may be connected to the -6D, -6ND, -10D, -
10ND, -5NE, or -8ANS controls.
4. Push all wires back into the wallbox and loosely fasten
the control to the wallbox using the control mounting
screws provided. Do not pinch the wires.
Large
Strip insulation 1/2" (13mm) for #10 AWG
(6mm2), #12 AWG (4mm2) or #14 AWG
(2.5mm2).
Strip insulation 5/8" (16mm) for #16 AWG
(1.5mm2) or #18 AWG (1.0mm2).
Use to join one or two #12 or 14 AWG sup-
ply wires with one #10, 12, 14, 16 or 18
AWG control wire.
5. Attach Lutron Claro®or Satin ColorsTM wallplate adapter
and wallplate.
a. Loosely install control mounting screws.
b. Tighten wallplate adapter mounting screws snug.
c. Tighten control mounting screws until wallplate
adapter is flush to wall (do not over-tighten).
d. Snap wallplate onto wallplate adapter, and verify
that control is not submerged.
e. If control is submerged, loosen mounting screws
appropriately.
6. Complete wiring for all dimmers, switches and remotes in
this circuit.
7. Restore power. Check for correct local operation (see
Local Operation, page 5).

Local Operation
Pressing the Tapswitch on any Dimmer, Switch, or
Remote will alternately turn the lights ON and OFF. For
HD-RD, the ON level will be the level previously set
using the Dimming Rocker. Press and hold the top or
bottom of the Dimming Rocker to raise or lower the light
level.
Double-tapping the Tapswitch on the HD-RD will turn the
lights ON to full. Pressing and holding the Tapswitch for
1/2 second (while ON) activates a 10-second long fade-
to-off.
Lamp Replacement
For routine lamp replacement, remove power from the
fixture(s) by sliding the Front-Accessible Service Switch
(FASS) to the OFF position (left). After replacing lamps,
slide the FASS back to the ON position (right) to restore
power.
Danger - For any procedure other than routine
lamp replacement, power must be disconnected
at the main electrical panel.
