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.
•  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.

•  For Hi-lume

®

 or Eco-10™ (EcoSeries) electronic ballast applications, use instruction sheet that comes with the dimmer for multi-location applications.

•  Vizia™ remotes are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ devices for multi-location switching.
•  Use only Vizia Coordinating Remotes with Vizia RF devices

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

•  Use only one (1) Vizia™ dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching remotes with LEDs. The remote(s) 

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

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

 Tools needed to install your Remote:

Slotted/Phillips Screwdriver 

Electrical Tape

Pliers 

 

 

Pencil

Cutters

Identifying your wiring application (most 

common):

NOTE:

 If the wiring in the wall box does not resemble 

any of these configurations, consult a qualified 

electrician.

 Step 2

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 4-Way applications

, note that the old switch being removed 

will have 4 screws plus a ground screw. Tag the two same color 

insulated wires with electrical tape.
