Leviton vizia rf + VRMX1-1L Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
:
• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with electrical codes and regulations.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.
• Use ONly with the appropriate Advance Transformer 120V Mark 10™ Powerline or Lutron Tu-Wire
• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, a motor- or a transformer operated appliance.
• Use with magnetic low voltage transformers, incandescent, or 120V halogen fixtures only. Use a Leviton electronic low voltage dimmer to control electronic (solid state) low voltage transformers.
• When retrofitting Mark 10™ Powerline dimming ballasts into fixtures that originally had Instant Start ballasts, the sockets MUST be replaced with Rapid Start sockets to allow proper
dimmer operation and prevent damage to the dimmer ballast. Refer to the instructions provided with the ballast.
• Vizia RF + dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia +
TM
INTRODUCTION
Leviton's Vizia RF + components are designed to communicate with
TM
each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote control of your
lighting. Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide the greatest
signal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton's
Vizia RF + component line is a Z-Wave enabled device. In a
TM ®
Z-Wave network, 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 Incandescent/Magnetic Low Voltage
or Fluorescent Dimmer 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.
®
CAUTION:
Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Timer
features of your remote, especially when scheduling unattended
devices. There can be some unexpected consequences if not used
with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned
on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from
overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while
clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. DO NOT USE the remote
for the control of high power heating appliances such as portable
heaters. This device will not control lighting that is used with electronic
low-voltage and high frequency power supply transformers, nor high
pressure discharge lamps (HID lighting). This includes mercury-vapor,
sodium vapor and metal halide lamps.
FEATURES
• Soft fade ON/OFF
• Scene capable
• ON/OFF LED and Brightness level LED
• Two way communication
• RF reliability
• Ease of installation – No new wiring
• Compatible with other Z-Wave enabled devices

INSTAllATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• When magnetic low voltage circuits are operated at a dim level, with all lamps inoperative, excess current may flow through the transformer. To avoid possible transformer failure due to
overcurrent, use a transformer that incorporates thermal protection or a fuse at the primary windings.
• Fluorescent lamps must be burned in at full intensity for 100 hours prior to dimming for proper dimming performance. Use only one (1) Vizia RF +™ Incandescent/Magnetic Low Voltage
or Fluorescent 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 load on ("at the
level selected" for dimmers only) at the control.
• 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.
• Use this device WITH COPPER OR COPPER ClAD WIRE ONly.
lutron Tu-Wire®:
To determine total ballast load, add the line current found on the ballast label
for all ballasts in the circuit. This will indicate the total load for the control.
