LoadINTRODUCTIONLeviton’s Vizia RF +TMcomponents are designed to communicatewith each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote controlof your lighting. Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide thegreatest signal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton’s ViziaRF +TMcomponent line is a Z-Wave®enabled device. In a Z-Wave®network, each device is designed to act as a router. These routerswill re-transmit the RF signal from one device to another until theintended device is reached. This ensures that the signal is receivedby its intended device by routing the signal around obstacles andradio dead spots. The Electronic Low Voltage Dimmer is compatiblewith any Z-Wave®enabled network, regardless of the manufacturerand can also be used with other devices displaying the Z-Wave®logo.CAUTION:Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Timerfeatures of your remote, especially when scheduling unattendeddevices. There can be some unexpected consequences if not usedwith care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turnedon. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged fromoverheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote controlwhile clothing is draped over it, a fire could result.• This is a Z-Wave®controller• Controls dimming of load• ON/OFF LED and Brightness LED• Two way communication• RF reliability• Ease of installation - No new wiring• Compatible with other Z-Wave®enabled devicesFEATURESChanging the color of your Dimmer:Your device may include color options. To change color of theface, proceed as follows:Line up tabsand press insides one at atime to attachPush inside at tabto releaseInstalling Dimmer by itself or with other devicesIf installing Dimmer in a single device application, proceed with theInstalling your Dimmer section. If installing Dimmer in a multi-device application, proceed as follows:Multi-device Application:In multi-dimmer installations, the reduction of the dimmer’s capacity isrequired.

NOTE: If insulating label is not affixed to Yellow/Red dimmer lead,use electrical tape to cover.• Proceed to Step 5.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 electronic low voltage transformers only. Do Not use to control a magnetic low voltage transformer. Use a Leviton magnetic low voltage dimmer to control magnetic low voltage transformers.• This dimmer provides protection from overheating. An excessive load applied to the dimmer will cause the dimmer to overheat. The excess load must be removed to resume proper operation.• Vizia RF +™ dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia +™ remotes or Vizia RF +™ controllers for multi-location dimming.• Use only one (1) Vizia RF +™ dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes (without LEDs) or up to 4 matching remotes (with LEDs). The remote(s) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.• Lighting fixture and dimmer must be grounded.WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:• This dimmer must be installed in a wall box with a neutral connection.• Consult fixture manufacturer to determine if their solid state transformers can be dimmed.• 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 (90 m).• 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.WIRING DIMMER:Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:NOTE: The dimmer must be installed in a wall box that has a Line Hotconnection.NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannotexceed 300 ft (90 m).• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green dimmer lead.• Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing oldswitch to Black dimmer lead.• First Traveler wall box wire to Red dimmer lead (note wire color).• Remove Red insulating label from Yellow/Red dimmer lead.• Second Traveler wall box wire to Yellow/Red dimmer lead (note wirecolor). This traveler from the dimmer must go to the terminal screw on theremote marked "YL/RD".• Line Neutral wall box wire to White dimmer lead.WIRING coordinating remote:Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:NOTE: "BK" and "RD" terminals on coordinating remote are unused. Tighten both screws.NOTE: Maximum wire length from dimmer to last remote is300 ft (90 m).• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.• Load wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing old switch to FirstTraveler (note color as above).• Second Traveler wall box wire (note color as above) to terminal screwmarked "YL/RD".

To accomplish this,proceed as follows:• On the dimmer, engage he air-gap switch (refer to Operationsection) and wait 5 seconds. Press push pad back into frame andhold push pad until the locator LED turns Amber and then turnsRed. The dimmer is now reset. Once the dimmer is reset, it will benecessary to Re-Include it to a network before it can be used.CAUTION: SETTING A DEVICE TO A FACTORY DEFAULT DOESNOT EXCLUDE THAT DEVICE FROM A NETWORK. THE EXCLUSIONPROCEDURE MUST STILL BE FOLLOWED TO REMOVE THE DEVICEFROM THE PRIMARY CONTROLLER’S INFORMATION TABLE.FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A SYSTEM THAT IS SLOW TORESPOND, OR MAY FAIL TO RESPOND TO SOME DEVICES.Step 9 Excluding Dimmer from Network:Step 8 NOTE: Dress wires with a bendas shown in diagram in order torelieve stress when mountingdevice.• Position all wires to provide room in outlet wall box for device.• Ensure that the word “TOP” is facing upon device strap.• Partially screw in mounting screws in wallbox mounting holes.Step 5A-2) The Locator LED will blink 2 times per second to indicate thedevice is in Program Mode A-2, Minimum Brightness Level.To change the Minimum Brightness Level from 1-50%, usethe DIM/BRIGHT Bar.
