Quiet Fan-Speed Controls NTFSQ-Series
NTFSQ 120 V~ 60 Hz
These controls are for use with a single ceiling paddle fan only,
rated at 1.5 A maximum. (The current rating of your fan motor may be
determined from the motor nameplate, packaging, or by contacting
the manufacturer.) Do not wire into a circuit with a GFCI breaker or
receptacle. Set multi-speed fans to their highest setting before
installing controls. Do not use these controls for light fixtures. Not
recommended for use with Hunter Original®Series fan; contact
Lutron's Customer Service department for suitable controls.
Fluorescent Dimmers NTF-Series
NTF-10, NTFTU-5A 120 V~ 60 Hz
NTF-10-277 277 V~ 60 Hz
These dimmers are for use with Lutron's FDB, ECO, HL3, or CB3
Series Electronic Fluorescent Dimming Ballasts only. Refer to individual series specification sheets for maximum capacity. Do not use
with other ballasts.
Important Notes
Please read before installing.
1. Install in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
2. When no "grounding means" exist within the wallbox then the
NEC©2008, Article 404-9 allows a dimmer without a ground
connections 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 Nova T*
®
series wallplates.
3. These controls are designed to operate in ambient temperatures
from 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C)
4. Strip wallbox wires. Important: When making wire connections,
follow the recommended strip lengths and combinations for the
supplied wire connectors. Twist wire connector tight making
sure that no bare wire is exposed. Note: Wire connectors provided are suitable for copper wire only. For aluminum wire, consult
an electrician.
5. Check for short circuits in new installations before wiring con-
trols. With power OFF, use standard switch and connect to lamp
and voltage line. Turn power ON. If breaker trips, a short is present.
Correct wiring and check circuit again. Install control only when
short is no longer present.
6. Multiphase applications: Use a separate neutral for each phase
containing a control circuit. For more information, call the
Lutron Technical Support Center
and ask for Application Note
17, "Common Neutral Interaction."
7. To ensure proper dimming performance and full lamp life, fluo-
rescent lamps must be operated at full intensity for 100 hours
prior to dimming.
Cleaning Instructions
To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical
cleaning solutions.

Description
Incandescent Dimmers NT-Series
NT-600, NT-1000, NT-1500, NT-2000, NT-603P, NT-1003P,
NT-1503P 120 V~ 60 Hz
These dimmers are for use with incandescent and halogen lamps
only, 120 V~ 60 Hz. DO NOT use to control receptacles, fluorescent
lighting fixtures, compact flourescent (Energy Saver) lamps, motoroperated or transformer-supplied appliances, or electronic low-voltage lighting fixtures.
Magnetic Low-Voltage Dimmers NTLV-Series
NTLV-600, NTLV-1000, NTLV-1500, NTLV-603P, NTLV-1003P,
NTLV-1503P 120 V~ 60 Hz
NTLV-600-277, NTLV-1000-277 277 V~ 60 Hz
These dimmers are for use with magnetic low-voltage incandescent
and halogen lamps only. Do not connect to receptacles, fluorescent
fixtures, or motor-operated appliances. Use with core and coil (magnetic) low-voltage transformers. Do not use to control a solid-state
electronic low-voltage transformer. Call the
Lutron Technical
Support Center
for more information. Ask for Application Note 19:
"Guide to Dimming Low-Voltage Lighting." Operation of a dimmed
low-voltage circuit with all lamps removed or inoperative may result
in current flow in excess of normal levels. To avoid possible transformer
failure, Lutron strongly recommends the following:
a. Do not operate dimmed low-voltage circuits without operative
lamps in place.
b. Replace burned-out bulbs immediately.
c. Use transformers that incorporate thermal protection or fused
transformer primary windings in order to prevent transformer failure
caused by excess current.
Electronic Low-Voltage Dimmers NTELV-Series
NTELV-300, NTELV-600 120 V~ 60 Hz
These dimmers are for use with electronic transformer-supplied
low-voltage lighting only. Do not connect to magnetic transformersupplied low-voltage fixtures, receptacles, fluorescent fixtures, or
motor-operated appliances. Some fixture manufacturers do not recommend dimming their solid-state transformers. To determine if a
fixture may be dimmed, consult Lutron or the fixture manufacturer.
These dimmers are overload-protected. If more than the rated load
is applied, power to the circuit will shut off until the dimmer cools. If
this happens, remove excess load from the circuit.
Fan-Speed Controls NTFS-Series
NTFS-6E, NTFS-12E 120 V~ 60 Hz
These controls are for use only with fan or blower units that are
operated by shaded-pole or permanently-split capacitor motors. Use
with other types of motors may damage equipment and void warranty.
Use with fans marked "Suitable for use with solid-state fan-speed
controls only." Set multi-speed fans to their highest setting before
installing controls.

Operation
Slide-to-Off Controls
Raise slider to increase light intensity. Lower slider to decrease light
intensity and turn off.
Preset Dimmers
Push button in center of slider to alternately turn lights on to preset
level (set by slider) or turn lights off. Raise slider to increase light
intensity. Lower slider to decrease light intensity.
3-Way and 4-Way Switches
When switching power from remote location, lights will turn on to
level set on dimmer (by slider), or turn off. Move slider up or down
to turn lights on or off. Note, use only one dimmer per circuit.
Fluorescent Dimmers
Dimmers are factory calibrated and do not require low-end light
adjustment. If lamps flicker or drop out at the minimum dimming
level there may be an installation error. Continued use of the system
in this mode will cause premature lamp failure. If this is occurring,
call the
Lutron Technical Support Center
at: 1.800.523.9466.
To ensure proper dimming performance and full lamp life, fluorescent lamps must be operated at full intensity for 100 hours prior to
dimming.
Installation
If more than one control is to be installed in the same wallbox,
review the Multigang Installation section (back page) before beginning. Lutron multigang faceplates are available for ganging multiple
units.
1. Turn power OFF at circuit breaker or remove fuse.
WARNING: Wiring with power on may result in personal injury.
Damage to this product caused by wiring with power on voids
warranty.
2. Remove faceplate and faceplate adapter from control to prevent
damage and to access mounting holes. Pull from top of faceplate to remove. Unscrew faceplate adapter. Set aside.
3. Wire control per appropriate wiring diagram (see previous page)
using wire connectors provided.
Note: Color names refer to the wire colors on the control.
4. Push wires into wallbox, allowing room for control to be inserted.
Do not pinch wires between wallbox and control.
5. Mount control to wallbox using control mounting screws provid-
ed. Controls must be mounted vertically. See stamp on control
for correct positioning.
6. Mount adapter plate with adapter mounting screws provided
(see below).
7. Snap on slider and faceplate.
8. Turn power ON at circuit breaker or replace fuse.

Multigang Installation
Multiple controls can be installed in a multigang wallbox or a series
of interconnected wallboxes for a clean, consolidated appearance.
Lutron multigang faceplates are available to complete the installation.
Refer to instruction sheet supplied with multigang faceplates for
installation.
For new installations, controls can be ganged without removing side
sections, but, to reduce the size of the multigang installation or to fit
existing wallboxes, inner side sections must be removed. Because
side sections are designed to dissipate heat, removing them derates
the capacity of the control.
Note: When ganging any combination of small and large controls,
place all small controls on one end of the gang and all large controls
on the other. Use the chart below to determine the size and rating of
each control.
*
NT-2000 cannot have side sections removed.
Note: The Wallbox Requirement Charts on this sheet do not apply for the
NT-2000. See the NT-2000 instruction sheet for the appropriate
requirements.
