Install in accordance with all local

and national electrical codes. Note:
Alternate wiring methods may be used for
the Class 2 wiring connection. Provisions in
the 2002 National Electrical Code

®

(Article

725-54) allow Class 2 conductors of the
HWD-5NE, -6D, 6ND, -10D, -10ND,  and 
-8ANS to occupy the same outlet box as
the power conductors. Consult the National
Electrical Code

®

Handbook and the local

electrical inspector before proceeding.

These controls must not

be used to control equipment which
is not visible from every control

location. They must also not be used to
control equipment which could create 
hazardous situations such as entrapment if
operated accidentally. Examples of such
equipment which must not be operated by
these controls include (but are not limited
to) motorized gates, garage doors, industri-
al doors, microwave ovens, heating pads,
etc. It is the installer’s responsibility to
ensure that the equipment being controlled
is visible from every control location and
that only suitable equipment is connected
to these controls.

To reduce the risk of

overheating and possibly damaging other
equipment, do not install to control recepta-
cles or motor-operated appliances.

Ambient operating tempera-

ture: 0-40°C, 32-104°F, 0-90% humidity,
non-condensing. Indoor use only. It is nor-
mal for dimmers and switches to feel warm
to the touch during operation.

If mounting one control above

another, leave at least 4-1/2 in. (114 mm)
vertical space between them.

-6D, -6ND, -10D and -10ND

are designed for use with permanently
installed incandescent, magnetic low-volt-
age, or tungsten halogen only. -5NE is
designed for use with permanently installed
incandescent or electronic low-voltage only.
-8ANS is designed for use with all perma-
nently installed lighting loads.

Use -6D, 

-6ND, -10D and -10ND with magnetic (core
and coil) low-voltage transformers only. Not
for use with electronic (solid-state) low-volt-
age transformers. 

Use -5NE with electronic (solid-state) low-
voltage transformers only. Not for use with
magnetic (core and coil) low-voltage trans-
formers.

Operation of a low-voltage circuit with
lamps inoperative or removed may result in
transformer overheating and premature fail-
ure. Lutron strongly recommends the fol-
lowing: 

a. Do not operate low-voltage circuits

without operative lamps in place.

b. Replace burned-out lamps as quickly

as possible.

c. Use transformers that incorporate

thermal protection or fused trans-
former primary windings to prevent
transformer failure due to overcurrent.

wallplates are recommended for

best color match and aesthetic 
appearance. Do not paint controls or
wallplates.

To clean, wipe with a clean

damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical
cleaning solutions.

Lutron recommends using 

3-1/2 in. (89 mm) deep wallboxes for easier
installation. Several controls may be
installed in one multigang wallbox - see
Derating Chart.

When

using controls in single location installa-
tions, cut off the uninsulated portion of the
control’s multi-location wire (blue wire) and
cap off using one of the provided wire con-
nectors. DO NOT connect the blue wire to
any other wiring or to ground.

controls may be used with a HomeWorks

End Of Gang

Middle Of Gang

In multigang installations, several controls
are grouped horizontally in one multigang
wallbox.

• When combining controls in a wallbox,

derating is required; however, no derating
is required for Remotes. 

Controls do not have fins that need

to be removed for multigang installations.

Controls have Class 2 remote-circuit wires
(gray, violet) that exit at the top of the con-
trol and connect to the HomeWorks
Dimmer Hub (HWI-H48). Pull Class 2 wires
from each wallbox location that contains a
control to an HWI-H48. Use 18 to 22 AWG,
twisted, shielded, 2-conductor wire.
Dimmer communications wiring may be in
a daisy-chain, star, or t-tap configuration.
Each home run on a bus may be up to 
500 ft. (152 m) and may contain up to 8
devices. The total length of wire on each
bus (all home runs) may be up to 1000 ft.
(305 m). Up to 48 dimmer or switch
devices may be wired to the HomeWorks
Dimmer Hub (HWI-H48).

Class 2/PELV wires do not have

polarity. The daisy-chain wiring method is
recommended to allow for future upgrad-
ability.

Check new installa-

tions for short circuits before installing con-
trol(s). With power OFF, install standard
switch(es) between hot and load. Restore
power. If lights don’t work or a breaker
trips, check wiring. Correct wiring and
check again. Install control(s) only when
short is no longer present. Warranty is void
if control is turned ON with a shorted load.

Locate and remove fuse

or lock circuit breaker in the OFF
position before proceeding.

Turn power OFF at fusebox or circuit

Using a sharp utility knife or drywall saw,
create a notch (~1/4 in.) in the drywall
above the top right hand corner of the
wallbox (see Figure 1)

This notch must be large enough
to allow the butt splices (included)
to pass through the wall, yet
small enough to be covered when
the wallplate is installed

See Wiring

Diagrams 1 and 2. When using power
boosters or interfaces, see Wiring
Diagrams in the HomeWorks Technical
Reference Guide (P/N 366-963).          

Note: When using controls in single
location installations, cut off the unin-
sulated portion of the control’s multi-
location wire (blue wire) and cap off
using one of the provided wire con-
nectors. DO NOT connect the blue
wire to any other wiring or to ground.

See Wiring

Diagrams 3 and 4. When using power
boosters or interfaces, see Wiring
Diagrams in the HomeWorks Technical
Reference Guide (P/N 366-963). Up to
nine HD-RD or HD-RS remotes may be
connected to the -5NE, -6D, -6ND, 
-10D, -10ND, or -8ANS controls. 

Push all wires back into the wallbox and
loosely fasten the control to the wallbox
using the control mounting screws pro-
vided. Do not pinch the wires.

Attach Lutron Claro or Satin Colors
wallplate adapter and wallplate. 

a. Loosely install control mounting

screws.

b. Tighten wallplate adapter mounting

screws snug.

c. Tighten control mounting screws

until wallplate adapter is flush to
wall (do not over-tighten).

d. Snap wallplate onto wallplate

adapter, and verify that control is
not submerged.

e. If control is submerged, loosen

mounting screws appropriately. 

Restore power. Check for correct local
operation (see Dimmer Operation and
Switch Operation).
