Cat. No. VZIØ6-1L, 600W (Lighted) 

120VAC, 60Hz

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DI-000-VZI06-02C

Preparing and connecting wires:

This dimmer can be wired using side wire terminal 

screws or through backwire openings. Choose 

appropriate wire stripping specifications accordingly.

WIRING DIMMER:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

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

• 

Line Hot wall box wire to terminal screw marked “BK”.

• 

Load wall box wire to terminal screw marked “RD”.

•   

Dimmer terminal screw marked “YL/RD” should have Red 

insulation label affixed.

NOTE: 

If insulating label is not affixed to terminal screw marked 

“YL/RD”, use electrical tape to cover.

•  Proceed to Step 5.

For Single-Pole Applications,

Do Not Remove This Label.

•   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.

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.

•  Use with incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only.
•  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:

•  Dimmer may not operate with dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16™ or Philips PAR-16™).
•  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.
•  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.

 Step 4a cont’d

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.

Back Wire 

(either hole may be used)

Back wire openings use #14-12 

AWG solid copper wire only.

Side Wire Connection

Side wire terminals accept #14 

AWG solid copper wire only.

WIRING DIMMER:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

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.

  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)

. This traveler from the dimmer must go to the terminal 

screw on the remote marked “RD”.

•   

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 dimmer must go to the 

terminal screw on the remote marked “YL/RD”.

WIRING COORDINATING REMOTE:
Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

NOTE: 

Maximum wire length from dimmer to last remote is 300ft.

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

•   

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

terminal screw marked “BK”.

•

 to terminal 

screw marked “YL/RD”. This traveler from the remote must go to 

the terminal screw on the dimmer marked “YL/RD”.

•

label affixed.

NOTE: 

If insulating label is not affixed to terminal screw marked 

“WH”, use electrical tape to cover.
