Notes
1 Dimmer Load Type: SZ-6D and
SZ-6ND are designed for use with
permanently installed incandescent,
magnetic low-voltage (MLV), or
tungsten halogen only. SZ-5NE is
designed for permanently installed
incandescent, electronic low-voltage
(ELV), or tungsten halogen only.
Dimmers cannot control motor-
operated equipment. Dimmers and
switches cannot control standard
receptacles. Contact Lutron for
dimmable receptacle solution.
2 Low-Voltage Applications: Use
SZ-6D and SZ-6ND with magnetic (core
and coil) low-voltage transformers only.
Not for use with electronic (solid-state)
low-voltage transformers.
Use SZ-5NE with electronic (solid-
state) low-voltage transformers only.
Not for use with magnetic (core and
coil) low-voltage transformers).
Operation of a low-voltage circuit
with lamps inoperative or removed
may result in transformer overheating
and premature failure. Lutron strongly
recommends the following:
• Do not operate low-voltage circuits
without operative lamps in place.
• Replace burned-out lamps as quickly
as possible.
• Use transformers that incorporate
thermal protection or fused
transformer primary windings to
prevent transformer failure due to
overcurrent.
3 Switch Load Type: SZ-6ANS is
designed for use with all permanently
installed lighting loads and with motor
loads up to 1/4 HP (3 A).
Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.
Environment: Ambient operating
temperature: 32 to 104 °F (0 to 40 °C),
0 to 90% humidity, non-condensing.
Indoor use only.
Spacing: If mounting one control above
another, leave at least 4.5 in (114 mm)
vertical space between them.
Faceplates: Use Lutron Stanza
faceplates for best color match and
aesthetic appearance. Do not paint
controls or faceplates.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean
damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical
cleaning solutions.
Wallboxes: Lutron recommends using
3.5 in (89 mm) deep wallboxes for
easier installation. Several controls may
be installed in one multigang wallbox
— see Derating Chart.
RF Device Placement: RF dimmers
and switches must be located within
30 feet (9 m) of an RF signal repeater or
a device configured as a repeater.
Stanza RF dimmers or switches cannot
be controlled by the system until they
are addressed and programmed. They
will work as stand-alone controls only.

Installation
WARNING - Shock hazard
- Wiring with power ON may
result in serious injury or death.
Locate and remove fuse or lock
circuit breaker in the OFF position before
proceeding.
Short Circuit Check: Check the
installation for short circuits before
installing control(s). With power OFF,
install standard mechanical switch(es) or
wire connector(s) between hot and load.
Restore power. If lights do not work or a
breaker trips, 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
connections, trim or strip wallbox
wires to the length indicated by the
strip gauge on the back of the control.
Note: Wire connectors provided are
suitable for copper wire only.
Wire Connector:
• Use to join one 14 AWG (1.5 mm2)
or 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) ground wire
with one 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) control
ground wire.
Twist wire connector tight.
Push-In Terminals:
Insert wires fully. Push-in
terminals are for use with
14 AWG (1.5 mm2) solid
copper wire only. DO NOT
use stranded or twisted wire.
OR
Screw Terminals:
Tighten securely to
5 in•lbs (0.55 N•m).
Screw terminals are for use
with solid copper wire only.
DO NOT use stranded or
twisted wire.
3. Wire controls as follows:
Single location installation: See
Wiring Diagrams 1 and 2.
Power Booster and Interfaces:
When using power boosters or
interfaces, see wiring diagrams
provided with the interface.
Ensure your customer will
be happy by installing this
product correctly so the
tapswitch protrudes from
the faceplate.
4. Push all wires back into the wallbox
and loosely fasten the control to the
wallbox using the control mounting
screws provided. Do not pinch the
wires.
• For installation with a recessed
wallbox, use spacer shims (Lutron
PN 257117) for proper support of
control(s).
• For multigang installation, verify
that the order of controls in the
wallbox corresponds to the faceplate
openings.
5. Attach Lutron Stanza faceplate
adapter and faceplate.
a. Align the locating posts on the
control(s) to the holes in the
adapter.
b. Install the adapter onto front of
control(s) using the short screws
provided. The faceplate adapter
should be firmly against the
control.
c. Tighten control mounting screws
until faceplate adapter is flush to
wall (do not over-tighten).
d. Snap faceplate onto faceplate
adapter, and verify that control is
aligned properly and switch(es)
protrude(s) in front of the faceplate.
e. If control(s) is (are) misaligned or
switch(es) is (are) flush with the
faceplate, loosen control mounting
screws appropriately.
6. Restore power. Check for correct
local operation (see Dimmer
Operation and Switch Operation).

injury or death. For any procedure other than routine lamp replacement,
disconnect power at the main electrical panel.
For routine lamp replacement, remove power from the fixture(s) by pulling down
the FASS switch on the Dimmer / Switch.
Troubleshooting Guide
Symptom Cause and Action
Load is off and there
is no indicator on the
dimmer/switch
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 up.
Wiring error
• Check wiring to be sure it matches installation instructions
and wiring diagrams.
Lamps burned out or not installed (SZ-6D only)
• Replace or install lamps.
Dioded lamps
• Replace with non-dioded lamps.
Damaged dimmer/switch
• Device may have been damaged by previous overload or
miswire. Replace device.
Dimmer / switch indica-
tor is on but load can-
not be turned on and/or
cannot be turned off
Wiring error
• Check wiring to be sure it agrees with installation instructions
and wiring diagrams.
Lamps burned out or not installed (SZ-6ND, SZ-6ANS)
• Replace or install lamps.
Damaged dimmer/switch
• Device may have been damaged by previous overload or
miswire. Replace device.
Light turns ON and OFF
continuously
Load is less than minimum load requirement
• Make sure the connected load meets the minimum load
requirement for that control. See Load Specifications table.
Improper load type
• Check that the load being dimmed is dimmable. See Load
Specifications table.
Lights don’t switch ON/
OFF from keypad
Improper programming
• Check programming in the Stanza software.
Out of RF range
• Ensure device is within 30 feet (9 m) of another device
configured as a repeater.
Wiring
• Wiring error. Check wiring to be sure it agrees with installa-
tion instructions and wiring diagrams.
Faceplate 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.
Control is buzzing or
humming
It is normal for dimmers and switches to emit a slight buzzing or
humming sound.
