Leviton VRSDC Dimmers User Manual 5 of 7

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 magnetic low voltage transformers, incandescent, or 120V halogen fixtures only. Use a Leviton electronic low voltage dimmer to control electronic (solid state) low voltage

• When magnetic low voltage circuits are operated at a dim level, with all lamps inoperative, excess current may flow through the transformer. To avoid possible

transformer failure due to overcurrent, use a transformer that incorporates thermal protection or a fuse at the primary windings.

• Vizia RF +TM dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia +TM or Vizia RF +TM controllers for multi-location dimming.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

• Use only one (1) Vizia RF +™ Magnetic Low Voltage Dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes (without LEDs) or up to 4 matching remotes

• 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.
