Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide the greatestsignal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton’s Vizia RF +™ componentline is a Z-Wave®enabled device. In a Z-Wave®network, each device isdesigned to act as a router. These routers will re-transmit the RF signalfrom one device to another until the intended device is reached. Thisensures that the signal is received by its intended device by routingthe signal around obstacles and radio dead spots. The Scene CapableElectronic Switch is compatible with any Z-Wave®enabled network,regardless of the manufacturer and can also be used with other devicesdisplaying the Z-Wave®logo.CAUTION:Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Timerfeatures of your Remote – especially when scheduling unattended devices.There can be some unexpected consequences if not used with care. Forexample, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned on. If that shouldhappen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating. If an electricheater is turned on by remote control while clothing is draped over it, afire could result. DO NOT USE the remote for the control of high powerheating appliances such as portable heaters. This device will not controllighting that is used with electronic low-voltage and high frequency powersupply transformers, nor high pressure discharge lamps (HID lighting).This includes mercury-vapor, sodium vapor and metal halide lamps.• Switch ON/OFF• Scene Capable• ON/OFF LED• Two way communication• RF reliability• Ease of installation – No new wiring• Compatible with other Z-Wave®enabled devicesFEATURESINTRODUCTIONBKRDWHYL/RDBKRDYL/RD3214TerminalScrew marked White (WH)TerminalScrew markedYellow/Red(YL/RD)5Coordinating Remote Switch4315TerminalScrew markedRed (RD)TerminalScrew markedWhite (WH)2TerminalScrew markedBlack (BK)TerminalScrew markedYellow/Red(YL/RD)Hot (Black)Neutral (White)Vizia + Remote (no LED)YL/RD YL/RDRDWHRDBKBlackBKWHWhiteLine120VAC, 60HzGreenGroundGreenGround(unused)(unused)LoadSwitch3-Way Wiring with Coordinating Remote(no LED) Application:Step 4bStep 4b cont’dWIRING SWITCH:Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows:NOTE: The switch must be installed in a wall box that has a Line Hotconnection.NOTE: Maximum wire length from switch to all installed remotes cannotexceed 300 ft (90 m).• Green or bare copper wire in wall box to Green terminal screw.• Line Hot (common) wall box wire identified (tagged) when removing oldswitch to terminal screw marked "BK".• First Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked "RD"(note wire color).• Remove Red insulating label from terminal screw marked "YL/RD".• Second Traveler wall box wire to terminal screw marked "YL/RD"(note wire color).
