:
• 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 electronic low-voltage transformers only. Do Not use to control a magnetic low-voltage transformer. Use a Leviton magnetic low-voltage dimmer to control magnetic
low-voltage transformers.
• This dimmer provides protection from overheating. An excessive load applied to the dimmer will cause the dimmer to overheat. The excess load must be removed to resume proper
operation.
• Vizia™ dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ remotes for multi-location dimming.
• 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.
WarnInGs anD cautIons
:
• Lighting fixture and dimmer must be grounded.
• This dimmer must be installed in a wall box with a neutral connection.
• Consult fixture manufacturer to determine if their solid state transformers can be dimmed.
• 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 (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 dimmer wall box and
remote wall box.
For non-standard wiring applications, refer

Preparing and connecting wires:
Pull off pre-cut insulation from dimmer leads. 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.

In multi-device installations, the side sections of the mounting straps
may require removal. Use pliers to carefully bend side sections back
and forth until they break off.
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:
Push in side at
tab to release
Line up tabs and
press in side to attach
WarnInG:
to aVoID FIrE sHocK or DEatH; turn
oFF PoWEr
at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power
is off before wiring!
