Important Notes

Codes: Install in accordance with all local and national elec-

trical codes.

Danger: These controls must not be used to con­trol equipment which is not visible from every con­trol location. They must also not be used to con-

trol equipment 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.

Overheat Damage: To reduce the risk of overheating and
possibly damaging other equipment, do not install
to control receptacles or motor-operated appliances.

Environment: Ambient operating temperature:
0-40°C, 32-104°F, 0-90% humidity, non-condensing. Indoor
use only.

Spacing: If mounting one control above another, leave at
least 4 1/2" (114mm) vertical space between them.

Wallplates: Lutron Claro

® and Satin ColorsTM 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 3-1/2" (89mm) deep
wallboxes for easier installation. Several controls may be
installed in one multigang wallbox - see Multigang
Installations (page 2).

Remotes: Use only Lutron

® HomeWorks Maestro Remote

Dimmers (HD-RD) with HRD/HWD-6D, -6ND, -10D, -10ND,
and -5NE controls. Use only Lutron HomeWorks Maestro
Remote Switches (HD-RS) with HRD/HWD-8ANS controls.
Up to 9 HD-RD or HD-RS controls may be used with a
HomeWorks Maestro Dimmer or Switch. Mechanical 3- or 4­way switches will not work.

Multigang Installations

In multigang installations, several controls are grouped hori­zontally in one multigang wallbox.

• No derating is required for Remotes.

• When ganging Remotes with dimmers or switches in the
same wallbox, derating is required for the dimmers or
switches. See the installation instructions that came with
the dimmer or switch for derating requirements.

Note: Controls do not have fins that need to be removed for
multigang installations.

Installation

Short Circuit Check: Check the installation for short cir-

cuits 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.

Danger - Locate and remove fuse or lock circuit
breaker in the OFF position before proceeding.
Wiring with power ON may result in personal
injury.

1. Turn power OFF at fusebox or circuit breaker.

2. Prepare wires. When making wire connections, follow the

recommended strip lengths and combinations for the
supplied wire connectors. Note: Wire connectors provid­ed are suitable for copper wire only.
