FCC Information
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation. The user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
•Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Note: Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Lutron Electronics Co. may void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.
To avoid risk of overheating or possible burns,
do no exceed max ratings for dimmers/switches
(multi-gang locations require derating).
To avoid fire, shock or death, turn power off at
corresponding circuit breaker or remove fuse
before removing or installing any dimmers or
switches.
To avoid fire, shock or death, turn off power. If a
circuit breaker trips following resetting, DO NOT
reset to “on” again until the cause has been
corrected. Repeated closing of a circuit breaker
on an electrical overload can damage it and
electrical fires can result.
To avoid overheating, fire and possible damage
to equipment, use dimmers with 120 V~
incandescent lighting fixtures only. Do not use
with low-voltage transformers.
To avoid overheating, fire and possible damage to
dimmer/switch or other equipment, do not use
dimmers/switches to control receptacles, motor-
operated or transformer-supplied appliances.
To avoid fire, shock or death, if you cannot clearly
identify the neutral connection stop the installation
and contact a qualified electrician or call Lutron’s
24/7 Customer Support Center at 800.523.9466.
To avoid fire, shock or death, if you are unsure
about any part of these instructions consult a
qualified electrician.

5 (Dimmer):
Switches
•Total wattage of all light bulbs
controlled by each switch must
be between 10 W (0.08 A) to
600 W (5 A).
•Switch requires neutral wire in
location of install.
•Use AuroRa®switches with all
lighting loads (incandescent,
magnetic low-voltage, electronic
low-voltage, fluorescent).
•Do not use dimmers in 3-way
circuits with AuroRa switches.
•When combining dimmers or
switches in the same wallbox,
the dimmer’s/switch’s load
capacity must be reduced (See
“Derating Chart” on page 22).
Suggested Locations:
•1 (Switch): Entry
•2 (Switch): Kitchen

transformers or compact
fluorescent bulbs.
•When combining dimmers or
switches in the same wallbox,
the dimmer’s/switch’s load

installing a dimmer/switch
Your first step is to identify how many switches control the lights you
have decided to add to your system.
•This is important so that you use the correct installation instructions.
•Lutron has created specific instructions for lights controlled by one,
two, or three switches to help simplify your installation.
After you have installed the first dimmer/switch, repeat the process
until all of the AuroRa dimmers/switches have been installed.
Installing an AuroRa®
dimmer/switch is as simple
as replacing a light switch
Installing the
designer insert
(use with designer
opening wallplates)
Designer-style
Wallplate Inserts allow
Lutron Traditional-
style dimmers and
switches to be used
with designer-style
wallplates.
A. Slide the insert over the dimmer/
switch, making sure to line up
the pins on the back of the
insert with the screw holes on
the dimmer/switch as shown.
B. Press the insert firmly in place.
