Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. CAUTION:
For control of permanently installed incandescent lamp fixtures and low-voltage trans-
former loads, motor loads, or fluorescent fixtures only. To avoid overheating and possible damage to
other equipment, do not use to control receptacles or transformer-supplied appliances.
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
switch without a grounding connection to be installed as a replacement, as long as a plastic, non-
combustible wallplate is used. For this type of installation, cap or remove the green ground wire on
the switch and use an appropriate wallplate such as Lutron’s
Claro
®
series wallplates.
4.
For new installations, install a test switch before installing the switch.
5.
Protect switch from dust and dirt when painting or spackling.
6. Clean switch with a
soft damp cloth only
.
Do not use any chemical cleaners.
Multigang Installations
When installing more than one control in the
same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove
all inner side sections prior to wiring (see dia-
gram). If pre-installed, remove the Lutron
wallplate and wallplate adapter from switch.
Using pliers, bend side section up and down
until it breaks off. Repeat for each side section
to be removed.
Note:
No derating required if
ganged.

One wire in the back-
wired hole and one to
the screw.
One continuous wire
to the screw.
Twist wire connector tight.
Be sure no bare wire is
exposed.
