	INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:	WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

•To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

•If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

•To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, fluorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer-operated appliance.

•Use with incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only.

•Vizia™ RF dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia™ or Vizia™ RF remotes for multi-location dimming.

•Use only one (1) Vizia™ RF dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 Vizia™ coordinating remotes without LEDs or Vizia™ RF controllers. The remote(s) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.

•Dimmer may not operate with dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16™ or Philips PAR-16™).

•Total minimum load must exceed 40W.

•Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.

•Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2”.

•Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft.

•Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing or removing fixture.

•Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. With aluminum wire use only devices marked CO/ALR or CU/AL.

to provide the greatest signal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton’s ViziaTM RF component line is a Z-WaveTMenabled device. In a Z-WaveTMnetwork, each device is designed to act as a router. These routers will re-transmit the RF signal from one device to another until the intended device is reached. This ensures that the signal is received by its intended device by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots. The Scene Capable Plug-in Lamp Dimming Module is compatible with any Z-Wave™ enabled network, regardless of the manufacturer and can also be used with other devices displaying the Z-Wave™ logo.

WIRING DIMMER:

Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:

•Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.

•Line Hot wall box wire to terminal screw marked “BK”.

•Load wall box wire to terminal screw marked “RD”.

•Dimmer terminal screw marked “YL/RD” should have Red insulation label affixed.

NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to terminal screw marked “YL/RD”, use electrical tape to cover.
