Step 7 Mount and align dimmers. Attach Claro® or Satin ColorsTM wallplates (purchased separately). Tighten screws until snug. Attach wallplates. Operation Switch Tap on, Tap off Tap Twice Quickly - lights adjust rapidly to full. Press & Hold for 2 Seconds - Activates 10 second fade to off. Dimming Rocker Brighten English Three-Location Installation Continued LEDs Indicate light level; glow softly as night light when light is off. (Not available on Accessory Dimmer.) Align dimmers. Ensure FASSTM switches are fully pushed in. ON ON OFF OFF OFF Turn power ON. ON Step 8 Symptom Possible Cause Light does not turn on. • Front Accessible Service Switch (FASSTM) on the dimmers are pulled out (OFF). • Light bulb(s) burned out. • Breaker is off or tripped. • Blue wire on Accessory Dimmer not connected to the same color wire as the blue wire on Dimmer. Dimmer keeps turning ON and OFF. Installation Instructions for Multi-Location Control • Black and Red wires on Dimmer are reversed. • Dimmer wired in middle of Accessory Dimmer string - must be on the line or load end of string. • Total wattage is under recommended minimum load. (See Important Note No.5.) FCC Information NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Lutron Electronics Co. could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IMPORTANT NOTICE: FASS™ - Front Accessible Service Switch - to replace bulb, power may be conveniently removed by pulling FASS switch out on both the Dimmer and any Accessory Dimmers. For any procedure other than routine lamp replacement, power must be disconnected at the main electrical panel. For detailed instructions on programming the system, refer to the RadioRA® Setup Guide that is included with an RF Signal Repeater or the Setup and Installation Guide that is included with a Chronos System Bridge and Timeclock.

Caution: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, motoroperated or transformer-supplied appliances. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes. Do not paint dimmers or wallplates. Clean with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners. Do not use where total wattage is under recommended minimum load.

In any 3-way/4-way circuit use only one Dimmer with up to 9 Accessory Dimmers. Dimmer may not work with dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16™ or Philips PAR-16™). Operate in ambient temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation. Recommended wallbox depth: 31/2" deep recommended, 21/2" deep minimum. The range and performance of the RadioRA® System is highly dependent on a variety of complex factors such as: • • • • Distance between system components Geometry of the home Construction of walls separating system components Electrical equipment located near system components 13. Do not mix RadioRA “A”(RA-) and “B” (RB-) products within the same system. “A” products and “B” products are not compatible. ® 15. (magnetic) low-voltage transformers. Do not use to control solid-state (electronic) low-voltage transformers. CAUTION: Operating a dimmed low-voltage circuit with all lamps inoperative or removed may result in current flow in excess of normal levels. To avoid possible transformer overheating and premature failure, Lutron strongly recommends the following: • Do not operate dimmed low-voltage circuits without operative lamps in place. • Replace burned-out lamps immediately. • Use transformers with thermal protection or fused primary windings to prevent transformer failure due to excess current.
