WARNING – Shock Hazard – To avoid the risk of electric shock locate and remove fuse or 

lock circuit breaker in the OFF position before proceeding. Wiring with power ON could result in 
serious injury or death.

1.  Turn power OFF at fusebox or circuit breaker.
2.  Check the installation for short circuits before installing control(s). With power OFF, install standard 

mechanical switch(es) between Hot and load. Restore power. If lights or fans do not 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 circuit.

3.  Verify power is off and wire controls according to one of the following options:

  a.  Terminals: Trim or strip wallbox wires to the length indicated by the strip gauge on the 

back of the control.

•  Push-In Terminals: Use with 14 AWG (1.5 mm

2

) solid copper wire only. Do NOT use 

stranded or twisted wire. 

Insert wires fully. To release wire, insert small, flat screwdriver into slot below push-in 
terminal. Push screwdriver in while pulling wire out. 

 OR

•  Screw Terminals: Use with 12 AWG (2.5 mm

2

) or 14 AWG (1.5 mm

2

) solid copper wire 

only. Do NOT use stranded or twisted wire.

Wrap wire around screw terminal. Tighten securely to 5 in-lb (0.55 N

•

m).

  b.  Wire Connectors: Prepare wires. When making wire connections, follow the 

recommended strip lengths and combinations for the supplied wire connector.

NOTE: Wire connectors provided are suitable for copper wire only.

  Wire Connector:

•  Strip insulation 3/8 in (10 mm) for 14 AWG (1.5 mm

2

) or 12 AWG (2.5 mm

2

) wire.

•  Strip insulation 7/16 in (11 mm) for 18 AWG (0.75 mm

2

) or 16 AWG (1.0 mm

2

) wire.

•  Use to join one or two 14 AWG (1.5 mm

2

) or 12 AWG

 

 (2.5 mm

2

) wires with one 18 AWG (0.75 mm

2

) or 

16 AWG (1.0 mm

2

) wire.

If dimming range of your lamps is satisfactory, save these instructions for future reference, otherwise go 
to to step 1 below.

1. Hold the tapswitch and the lower rocker until a status LED blinks, indicating current low end level.
2.  Hold the lower rocker until the bottom status LED is reached. Hold the raise rocker until all lamps are on 

and stable (no flickering). Single tap the tapswitch to save setting.

3.  Single tap the tapswitch to turn off bulbs. Single tap the tapswitch again. If all lamps do not turn on or 

are not stable, repeat step 1, and in step 2 increase light with the raise rocker.

WARNING – Entrapment Hazard – To avoid the risk of entrapment, serious injury, or death, these 

controls must not be used to control equipment which is not visible from every control location or 
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, industrial 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. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Codes: Install in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
Grounding: When no “grounding means” exist in wallbox, the 2011 National Electrical CodeR (NECR) 

allows a control to be installed as a replacement if 1) a nonmetallic, noncombustible faceplate is used with 
nonmetallic attachment screws or 2) the circuit is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). 
When installing a control according to these methods, cap or remove green wire before screwing control 
into wallbox. 
Environment: Ambient operating temperature: 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C), 0% to 90% humidity, non-

condensing. Indoor use only.
Spacing: If mounting one control above another, leave at least 4 ½ in (114 mm) vertical space between 

them.
Wallplates: LutronR ClaroR and Satin ColorsR wallplates are recommended for best color match and 

aesthetic appearance. Do not paint controls or wallplates.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical cleaning solutions.
Wallboxes: Lutron recommends using 3 ½ in (89 mm) deep wallboxes for easier installation. Several 

controls may be installed in one multigang wallbox. See 

Derating Chart.

Remote Dimmers: Use only remote dimmers with dimmers. Up to 9 remote dimmers may be used. 

Mechanical 3- or 4-way switches will not work.
RF Device Placement: RF dimmers must be located within 30 ft (9 m) of an RF signal repeater. Remote 

dimmers are not required to be within a specific range of a repeater.
For systems with an RF signal repeater, RF dimmers cannot be controlled by the system until they are 
programmed in a system according to the system Setup Guide.

1  When using controls in single location installations, tighten the blue terminal without any wires 

attached. DO NOT connect the blue terminal to any other wiring or to ground.

2  Dimmer may be installed in any location in the circuit.

3  Install only 1 dimmer per circuit. Up to 9 remote dimmers may be connected to a dimmer. Total blue 

terminal wire length may be up to 250 ft (76 m).

WARNING – Shock Hazard – For any procedure other than routine lamp replacement, power 

must be disconnected at the main electrical panel. Working with power ON could result in 
serious injury or death.

For your safety during routine lamp replacement, remove power from the fixture(s) by moving the 
FASS

™

 switch into the OFF position on the dimmer and all remote dimmers.

Light doesn’t turn ON / OFF 
when tapswitch on dimmer 
or remote dimmer is 
pressed

Power not present
   •  Circuit breaker OFF or tripped. Perform short circuit check.
   •  FASS™ is in the OFF position. Move FASS™ to the ON position. 

Check the dimmer and all of the remote dimmers. See 

Replacement.

Wiring
   •  Wires shorted. Make sure the blue terminal is not grounded or 

shorted to any other wires.

   •  Wiring error. Check wiring to be sure it agrees with installation 

instructions and wiring diagrams.

Load is less than minimum load requirement
   •  Make sure the connected load meets the appropriate minimum load 

requirement for that control. See 

Load Specifications.

Lamps burned out or not installed
   •  Replace or install lamps.

Dioded lamps
   •  If dioded lamps are being used, replace with non-dioded lamps.

Light turns ON and OFF 
continuously or lights turn 
ON when tapswitch is 
pressed, then turn OFF

Load does not meet the minimum load requirement
   •  Increase load to meet the appropriate minimum load requirement for 

that control. See 

Load Specifications.

Lights turn off while being 
dimmed

Lamps are not dimmable or low end is not adjusted properly
   •  Verify lamps are rated as dimmable and on the compatible list  

(www.lutron.com/dimcfl led).

   • Complete the steps in 

Dimming Range Adjustment.

Lights turn on at high light 
level but do not turn on at 
low light level

Lights flicker or flash when 
dimmed to a low light level

Lights don’t turn ON/OFF 
from a keypad

Improper programming
   •  Program according to the system Setup Guide.

Out of RF range
   •  Reposition to be within 30 ft (9 m) of an RF signal repeater.

Wiring
   •  Wires shorted. Make sure the blue terminal is not grounded or 

shorted to any other wires.

   •  Wiring error. Check wiring to be sure it agrees with installation 

instructions and wiring diagrams.

Wallplate is warm

Solid-state control dissipation
   •  Solid-state dimmers internally dissipate about 2% of the total 

connected load. It is normal for dimmers to feel warm to the touch 
during operation.

NOTE: Refer to the system Setup Guide for additional troubleshooting suggestions.

NOTE: Returning a dimmer to the factory settings will remove it from the system and erase all 

programming.
Step 1 :  Triple tap the tapswitch on a control. DO NOT release after the third tap.
Step 2 :  Keep the tapswitch pressed on the third tap (for approximately 3 seconds) until the LEDs on the 

dimmer start to scroll up and down quickly, or the LED on the switch flashes quickly

Step 3 :  Release the tapswitch and immediately triple tap the tapswitch again. The LEDs on the dimmer will 

scroll up and down slowly. The LED on the switch will flash slowly.

The control has now been returned to factory settings and needs to be reprogrammed into a system.
