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 device may include color options. To change color of the face

proceed as follows:

Line up tabs

and press in sides

one at a time 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.

MAXIMUM BULB WATTAGE

Mark 10™ Powerline dimmers are rated in Volt-Amps (VA). The maximum

bulb wattage is determined by the efficiency of the Mark 10™ Powerline

ballast. The following table shows the maximum number of ballasts that can

be connected to a single dimmer for different Mark 10™ Powerline ballasts.

Also note that the table shows maximum ballasts for multi-gang installations.

Lutron Tu-Wire

To determine total ballast load, add the line current found on the ballast label

for all ballasts in the circuit. This will indicate the total load for the control.

INTRODUCTION

Leviton’s Vizia RF +

components are designed to communicate with

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

your lighting. Each module in Leviton’s Vizia RF +

component line

is a Z-Wave

enabled device. In a Z-Wave

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 Incandescent/Magnetic Low Voltage or Fluorescent Dimmer

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.

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DO

NOT USE the remote for the control of high power heating appliances

such as portable heaters. 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.

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.

• Soft fade ON/OFF

• Scene capable

• ON/OFF LED and Brightness level LED

• Two way communication

• RF reliability

• Ease of installation – No new wiring

• Compatible with other Z-Wave

enabled devices

FEATURES

WIRING DIMMER:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

WARNING:

FOR MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE APPLICATIONS,

CONNECT DIMMER ONLY TO THE PRIMARY (HIGH-VOLTAGE)

SIDE OF A MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER.

NOTE: When using the coordinating remote without LEDs, the dimmer

can be installed on either the Line or Load side of the 3-way circuit.

NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot

exceed 300 ft (90 m).

• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green dimmer lead.

• 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).

• Remove Red insulating label from Yellow/Red dimmer lead.

• Second Traveler wall box wire to Yellow/Red dimmer lead

(note wire color). 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.

WIRING COORDINATING REMOTE:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE: "BK" and "RD" terminals on coordinating remote are unused.

Tighten both screws.

NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to last remote is 300 ft (90 m).

• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

• Load wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing old switch to First

Traveler

(note color as above).

• Second Traveler wall box wire

(note color as above) to terminal screw

marked "YL/RD". This traveler from the remote must go to the

Yellow/Red dimmer lead.

• Remove White insulating label from terminal screw marked "WH".

• Line Neutral wall box wire to terminal screw marked "WH".

•

Proceed to Step 5.

WIRING DIMMER:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:
WARNING:

CONNECT A MAGNETIC LOW-VOLTAGE DIMMER ONLY

TO THE PRIMARY (HIGH-VOLTAGE) SIDE OF A MAGNETIC

LOW-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER.

•   Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green dimmer lead.
•   Line Hot wall box wire to Black dimmer lead.
•   Load wall box wire to Red dimmer lead.
•  Line Neutral wall box wire to White dimmer lead.
•   Yellow/Red dimmer lead should have Red insulation label affixed.

NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to Yellow/Red dimmer lead,

use electrical tape to cover.
•

Proceed to Step 5.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring!

• TO AVOID FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, DO NOT install to control a receptacle, a motor or a transfer operated appliance.

• To be installed and/or used in accordance with electrical codes and regulations.

• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.

• Use

ONLY with the appropriate Advance Transformer 120V Mark 10™

Powerline

or Lutron Tu-Wire

electronic ballasts for controlling the specific fluorescent lamps in Fluorescent Mode.

• 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 retrofitting Mark 10™

Powerline

dimming ballasts into fixtures that originally had Instant Start ballasts, the sockets MUST be replaced with Rapid Start sockets to allow proper

dimmer operation and prevent damage to the dimmer ballast. Refer to the instructions provided with the ballast.

• Vizia RF +

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

Vizia RF +

controllers for multi-location dimming.

• Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft.
• Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• 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.

• Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2".
• Use this device

WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE ONLY.

• U

se with compatible dimmable LED, CFL bulbs, incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only. For a list of compatible LED and CFL bulbs refer to www.leviton.com.

• When multiple bulbs are used with one dimmer DO NOT mix bulb types. All bulbs shall be either LED; CFL or incandescent. Using the same make/model of each bulb will enhance

dimmer performance.
