Important Notes

Please read before installing.

1.

Caution:

To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to

control receptacles, fluorescent or neon lighting fixtures, transformer-supplied appliances,
solid state fan motors,

or exhaust fans

. For exhaust fans use Lutron fully variable fan speed

controls.

2.

Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

3.

When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox then the NEC

®

2005, Article 404.9

allows a wall control without a grounding connection to be installed as a replacement, as
long as a plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used. For this type of installation, cap or
remove the green ground wire on the wall control and use an appropriate wallplate such as
Lutron’s 

Claro

®

series wallplates.

4.

The 

Maestro

®

dual fan/light control system consists of a Wall Control, a Canopy Module, and

up to two Accessory Controls. All must be installed correctly before attempting to control the
fan/light fixture. Do not attempt to mix Lutron controls with those from other manufacturers,
or mix Lutron controls not labeled for use together.

5.

This system is not compatible with fans having a control system built into the motor.

6.

Do not paint Wall Control, Canopy Module, or Accessory Control(s).

7.

Maestro

Controls are not compatible with standard 3-way/4-way switches.

8.

Accessory Controls (MA-ALFQ35) cannot be used individually and must be used in
conjunction with a 

Maestro

Wall Control (MIR-LFQ35M) in a 3-way/4-way application.

9.

In any 3-way/4-way circuit use only one Wall Control (MIR-LFQ35M)with up to 2 Accessory
Controls (MA-ALFQ35).

10.

Do not use where total lamp wattage is less than 40 W or greater than 300 W.

11.

Operate between 32 °F (0 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C) room temperature. For indoor use only.

12.

Wall Control and Accessory Controls may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.

13.

Recommended wallbox depth is 2.5 in (64 mm) minimum.

14. Clean controls with a 

soft damp cloth only

.

Do not use any chemical cleaners.

15.

This system cannot be used to change the direction of the fan. To change the fan direction,
stop the fan, and then change the position of the switch located on the body of the fan.

16.

To maximize light bulb life, use bulbs recommended for fan or “rough service” use.

17.

Do not use pull chains to operate fan/light after installing this system.

18.

Canopy Module must be installed within a fan canopy enclosure.

19.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Multiple Gang Application

Maestro IR

®

fan controls may be ganged together with Maestro IR

®

dimmers, but

should not be ganged with other 

Maestro IR

®

fan or fan/light controls. If ganged with

Maestro IR

®

dimmers, 

button presses on a Dimmer IR transmitter will affect all

light controls; button presses on a Fan IR transmitter will affect only the fan
control.

• Pressing the ON FULL button will cause each control to fade to its highest level,

regardless of whether some are on and some are off.

• Pressing the OFF button will cause all controls to turn off.
• Pressing the RAISE or LOWER buttons will change the control level on all units at the

same rate until the button is released or until the controls have reached their
maximum or minimum level. If any units are off when the RAISE button is pressed,
they will turn on at the minimum control level.

• To save your favorite control level, adjust all the controls to the desired level, then

press and hold the FAVORITE button for about 3 seconds until the LEDs begin to
flash. Once your favorite level is set, pressing the FAVORITE button will cause each
control to return to your programmed favorite level.
