Lutron V-1000-IV, V-1000-BL Installation Manual

Incandescent Applications

(V-600, V-1000,VETS-1000, VETS-1000-SL, VETS-R, and VETS-A-SL)
These controls are for use with incandescent and halogen lamps only,
120 V~ 60 Hz. Do not connect to receptacles, fluorescent fixtures, motor­operated appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances.

Magnetic Low-Voltage (MLV) Applications

(V-600, V-1000,VETS-1000, VETS-1000-SL, VETS-R, and VETS-A-SL)
These controls are for use with low-voltage incandescent and halogen lamps
only. Use with core and coil (magnetic) low-voltage transformers. Do not con­nect to receptacles, fluorescent fixtures, or motor-operated appliances. Do not
attempt to control a solid-state electronic low-voltage transformer. For more
information call the

Lutron Technical Support Center

and ask for Application

Note 19:

Guide to Dimming Low-Voltage Lighting

. Operation of a dimmed MLV
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 MLV circuits without operative lamps in place.
b. Replace burned-out bulbs immediately.
c. Use transformers with thermal protection or fuse the transformer primary

windings to prevent transformer failure due to overcurrent.

Electronic Low-Voltage (ELV) Applications

(VETN-1000 only)
This control is for use with low-voltage incandescent and halogen lamps only.
Use with a solid state electronic low-voltage transformer. Do not connect to
receptacles, or motor-operated appliances. For more information call the

Lutron Technical Support Center

and ask for Application Note 19:

Guide to

Dimming Low-Voltage Lighting

.

Fluorescent Switching Applications

(VETN-1000, VETS-1000, and VETS-1000-SL only)
These controls are for use with electronic fluorescent ballasts only. Some high
power factor magnetic fluorescent ballasts with shunt capacitor connection
for compact fluorescent lamps may not operate properly with this control. Do
not connect to receptacles or motor-operated appliances. For more information
contact your ballast manufacturer or the

Lutron Technical Support Center

.

Important Notes

1. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

2. These controls are designed to operate in ambient temperatures from

32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).

3. 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.

4. Check for short circuits in new installations before wiring controls. With
power OFF, use an appropriate switch and connect to line and lamp. Turn
the power ON. If breaker trips, a short is present. Correct wiring and
check circuit again. Install control only when short is no longer present.

5. Auxiliary Switching:
V-600, V-1000, VETS-1000, and VETN-1000 use a VETS-R for auxiliary
switching up to 9 additional locations. VETS-1000-SL uses a VETS-A-SL
for auxiliary switching up to 4 additional locations. Controls will not work
with standard 3-way and 4-way switches.

6. VETN-1000 and VETS-1000-SL require a neutral connection. Their auxil­iaries, VETS-A-SL and VETS-R, do not require a neutral connection.

7. 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

.

Cleaning Instructions

To clean, wipe with a soft clean damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical
cleaning solutions.

Wiring

If more than one control is to be installed in the same wallbox, review
Multigang Installation section (back page) before beginning.

1. Turn power OFF at fusebox or circuit breaker.

3. Replace the Faceplate.

4. Turn power on.

Operation

Electronic Tapswitch Dimmers

Push button in center of dimmer to turn lights on and off. Raise slider to
increase light intensity. Lower slider to decrease light intensity.

Electronic Tapswitches

Push button in center of Tapswitch to turn lights on and off.

Electronic Tapswitches with Status Light

Push button in center of Tapswitch to turn lights on and off. The status light
will be lit when the circuit is on. The status light will turn off when the circuit
is off.

For routine lamp replacement, power may be conveniently disconnected from
fixtures by pulling the clear

FASS

(Front-Accessible Service Switch) so OFF is
visible (see below). For any procedure other than routine lamp replacement,
power must be disconnected at the main electrical panel. The

FASS

switch

must be returned to the up (on) position in order to operate lights.

1. Make sure that the faceplate adapter is correctly mounted to the control.
(Observe the UP arrows on the faceplate adapter and make sure that the
FASSTM switch is in the lower right corner.)

2. Hold the mini-slider so that the two feet face right and the notched arm
faces left. Fit the feet into the groove on the right side of the faceplate
adapter and fit the arm into the notched slider in the control. Slide the
mini-slider up and down to make sure it slides smoothly.

3. To mount the button, hold it so that the name LUTRON appears in the
lower left corner. Fit the plastic slider on the left side of the button into the
left groove of the faceplate adapter. Push the two legs on the right side of
the button gently into the slot in the control. The button should fit loosely
but not fall out.

4. Mount the faceplate to the control.

* When ganging an even number of small controls with side sections intact

and there are no large controls, use gangable 3 x 2 in (76 x 51 mm) wall­boxes. Space an additional wallbox 3/4 in (19 mm) apart from the other
wallboxes. A 3/4 in (19 mm) chase nipple is recommended as a spacer
between wallboxes.

Example: Wallbox arrangement required for ganging 4 small controls with
no side sections removed.

Multigang Installation

Multiple controls can be installed in a common gangable 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 the multigang
faceplate for installation.
For new installations, controls can be ganged without removing side
sections. However, 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
requires derating 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.
