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.

•  Vizia™ electronic switches are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ on/off remotes.

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

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

:

•    Use only one (1) Vizia

TM

 electronic switch in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching remotes with LEDs.

•  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.

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 switch wall box and remote wall box.

WIRING SWITCH:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE:

 The switch must be installed in a wall box that has a Line Hot 

connection.

NOTE:

 Maximum wire length from switch to all installed remotes 

cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).

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

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

removing old switch

  to terminal screw marked "BK".

•  First Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked "RD" 

(note wire color)

.

•  Remove Red insulating label from terminal screw marked "YL/RD".

•  Second Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked "YL/RD"  

(note wire color)

. This traveler from the switch must go to the 

terminal screw on the remote marked "YL/RD".

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

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 switch 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 terminal screw on the switch marked "YL/RD".

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

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

•  Proceed to Step 5.

INSTALLING YOUR SWITCH

NOTE:

 Use check boxes        when Steps are completed.

Changing the color of your Switch:

Your switch includes three color options. The switch ships with the White

Preparing and connecting wires:

This switch can be wired using side wire terminal screws or 

through backwire openings. Choose appropriate wire stripping 

specifications accordingly.

•  Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are 

straight (cut if necessary).

•  Remove insulation from each wire in the wall box as shown.

•  For Single-Pole Application, go to Step 4a.
•  For 3-Way Coordinating Remote (no LEDs) Application, go to Step 4b.
•  For 3-Way Matching Remote (with LEDs) Application, go to Step 4c.
