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 magnetic low-voltage transformers, incandescent, or 120V halogen fixtures only. Use a Leviton electronic low-voltage dimmer to control electronic 

(solid state) low-voltage transformers.

•   When magnetic low-voltage circuits are operated at a dim level, with all lamps inoperative, excess current may flow through the transformer. To avoid possible

  transformer failure due to overcurrent, use a transformer that incorporates thermal protection or a fuse at the primary windings.

•   Vizia

TM

 RF dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia

TM 

or

 

Vizia

TM

 RF controllers for multi-location dimming.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

:

•    Use only one (1) Vizia

TM

 RF dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating Vizia

TM

 remotes without LEDs or Vizia

TM

 RF remotes for multi-location. The remote(s) 

will turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

For non-standard wiring applications, refer

to Wire Nut and Connector Size Chart

•   Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when 

removing old switch to Black dimmer lead.

•   First Traveler wall box wire to Red dimmer lead 

(note wire color)

This traveler from the dimmer must go to the terminal screw on 

the remote marked “RD”.

•   Remove Red insulating label from Yellow/Red dimmer lead.
•   Second Traveler wall box wire to Yellow/Red dimmer lead 

(note

. This traveler from the dimmer must go to the terminal 

screw on the remote marked “YL/RD”.

•  Line Neutral wall box wire to White dimmer lead.

 Tools needed to install your Dimmer:

Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver 

Electrical Tape 

Pliers 

Pencil 

 

 

Cutters 

 

Ruler

MULTI-DEVICE APPLICATION

In multi-dimmer installations, the reduction of the dimmer’s capacity

is required. Refer to the chart for maximum load per dimmer.

If installing Dimmer in a single device application, proceed with the 

INSTALLING YOUR DIMMER

 section. If installing Dimmer in a multi-

device application, proceed as follows:

 Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices:

Changing the color of your Dimmer:

Your Dimmer includes three color options. The Dimmer ships with the 

White frame attached. To change color of frame, proceed as follows:

Line up tabs and 

press in side to attach

Push in side at 

tab to release

MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE

Low-voltage dimmers are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum bulb 

wattage is determined by the efficiency of the transformer in the low-

voltage lighting system. Transformer efficiencies will vary from different 

manufacturers; consider 80% efficient as average. Use the chart to 

determine maximum bulb wattage for typical transformer efficiency ratings.

 INTRODUCTION

Leviton’s Vizia

TM

 RF components are designed to communicate 

with each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote control 

of your lighting. Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide 

the greatest signal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton’s 

Vizia

TM

 RF component line is a Z-Wave

TM

 enabled device. In a Z-

Wave

TM

 network, each device is designed to act as a router. These 

routers will re-transmit the RF signal from one device to another 

until the intended device is reached. This ensures that the signal 

is received by its intended device by routing the signal around 

obstacles and radio dead spots. The Scene Capable Plug-in Lamp 

Dimming Module is compatible with any Z-Wave™ enabled network, 

regardless of the manufacturer and can also be used with other 

devices displaying the Z-Wave™ logo. 

CAUTION:

Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Timer 

features of your remote, especially when scheduling unattended 

devices. There can be some unexpected consequences if not used 

with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned 

on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from 

overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control 

while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. 

DO NOT USE

 

the remote for the control of high power heating appliances such 

as portable heaters. This device will not control lighting that is 

used with electronic low-voltage and high frequency power supply 

transformers, nor high pressure discharge lamps (HID lighting). This 

includes mercury-vapor, sodium vapor and metal halide lamps.

•   Scene capable

•   ON/OFF LED and Brightness level LED 

•   Two way communication 

•   RF reliability 

•   Ease of installation – No new wiring
