Installation Instructions
Please Read Before Installing
Multigang Installations
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 Remote Dimmers / Switches.

Note: -8ANS controls have fins that need
to be removed for multigang installations.
-6D, -10D, -10ND, -RD and -RS controls
do not have fins that need to be removed
for multigang installations.
Short Circuit Check: 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 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.
1. Turn power OFF at fusebox or circuit
breaker.
2. Prepare wires. When making wire con-
nections, follow the recommended strip
lengths and combinations for the sup-
plied wire connector.
Note: Wire connector provided is suit-
able for copper wire only.

Tighten securely to 5 in-lbs
(0.55 N•m). Screw terminals
are for use with 12 AWG
(2.5 mm2) or 14 AWG
(1.5 mm2) solid copper wire
only. DO NOT use stranded or
twisted wire.
Trim or strip wallbox wires to the length
indicated by the strip gauge on the back of the
control.
Wire Connector:

14 AWG (1.5 mm2) or 12 AWG
(2.5 mm2) wire
• Strip insulation 7/16 in
(11 mm) for 18 AWG (0.75 mm2)
wire
• Use to join one or two 14 AWG
(1.5 mm2) or 12 AWG (2.5 mm2)
wires with one 18 AWG

3. Wire controls as follows:
For single location installation: See
Wiring Diagrams 1 and 2.
For multi-location installation: See
Wiring Diagrams 3 and 4.
4. 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.
5. Attach the Lutron Claro or Satin Colors
wallplate adapter and wallplate.
a. Install wallplate adapter onto front of
control(s).
b. Tighten control mounting screws until
wallplate adapter is flush to wall (do
not over-tighten).
c. Snap wallplate onto wallplate adapter,
and verify that control is aligned prop-
erly.
d. If controls are misaligned, loosen
mounting screws appropriately.
6. Restore power. Verify correct local
operation (see Dimmer Operation and
Switch Operation).
Symptom Probable Cause and Action
Lights don’t switch
ON / OFF when
Tapswitch on
Dimmer / Switch/
Remote 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
by fully pushing it in. Check both the Dimmer / Switch and all
of the Remote Dimmers / Switches.
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.
• Installed in a neutral-based location. Check that neutral-
based products are connected on the load side of a multi-
location installation (see Wiring Diagram 4).
Lamps burned out or not installed
• Replace or install lamps.
Dioded lamps
• If dioded lamps are being used, replace with non-dioded
lamps.
Lights turn ON
when Tapswitch is
pressed, then turn
OFF
Wiring
• Wiring error. Check wiring to be sure it agrees with
installation instructions and wiring diagrams.
Tapswitch stuck
• Tapswitch stuck at another location. Check to see that
tapswitches are not sticking for all control locations in the
circuit.
Light turns ON and
OFF continuously
Load is less than minimum load requirement
• Make sure the connected load meets the appropriate
minimum load requirement for that control. See Load
Specifications.
Lights don’t switch
ON/OFF from a
Keypad
Improper programming
• Program according to the system Setup Guide.
Out of RF range
• Reposition to be within 30 feet (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 and switches internally dissipate about
2% of the total connected load. It is normal for dimmers and
switches to feel warm to the touch during operation.

1 Dimmer Load Type: -6D, -10D and -10ND are
designed for use with permanently installed
incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, or tung-
sten halogen only. Do not install dimmers to
control receptacles or motor-operated appli-
ances.
2 Low-Voltage Applications: Use -6D,
-10D and -10ND with magnetic (core and coil)
low-voltage transformers only. Not for use with
electronic (solid-state) low-voltage transformers.
3 Switch Load Type: -8ANS is designed for
use with permanently installed incandescent,
magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage,
or fluorescent loads and with motor loads up to
1/4 HP (5.8 A).
Important Notes
WARNING - 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 equip-
ment 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 within the wallbox, then the NEC®
2008, Article 404.9 allows a dimmer with-
out a grounding connection to be installed
as a replacement, as long as a plastic,
noncombustible wallplate is used. For
this type of installation, cap or remove the
green ground wire on the dimmer and use
an appropriate wallplate such as Lutron’s
Claro® or Satin Colors® wallplates.
Neutral Wire: -10ND and -8ANS require
a neutral wire connection in the wallbox
where the Dimmer/Switch is to be installed.
If a neutral wire connection is not available
in the wallbox, contact a licensed electri-
cian for installation.
Environment: Ambient operating tempera-
ture: 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) ver-
tical space between them.
Wallplates: Lutron® Claro and Satin Colors
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 eas-
ier installation. Several controls may be
installed in one multigang wallbox — see
Derating Chart.
Remote Dimmers / Switches: Use only
Lutron Maestro Remote Dimmers (-RD)
with -6D, -10D, and -10ND controls. Use
only Lutron Maestro Remote Switches
(-RS) with -8ANS controls. Up to 9 -RD or
-RS controls may be used with Maestro
Dimmers or Switches. Mechanical 3- or
4-way switches will not work
RF Device Placement: RF Dimmers and
Switches must be located within 30 feet
(9 m) of an RF Signal Repeater. Remote
Dimmers and Switches are not required to
be within a specific range of a repeater.
For systems with an RF signal repeater, RF
Dimmers or Switches cannot be controlled
by the system until they are programmed
in a system according to the system Setup
Guide.

Returning Devices to Factory Settings
Note: Returning a control to its Factory Settings will remove the control from the system
and erase all programming.
Step 1 : Triple tap the tapswitch on the control. DO NOT release after the third tap.
Step 2 : Keep the tapswitch pressed on the third tap (for approximately 3 seconds) until
the status LEDs start to scroll up and down quickly.
Step 3 : Release the tapswitch and immediately triple tap the tapswitch again. The status
LEDs will scroll up and down slowly.
The control has now been returned to Factory Settings.
