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.

•  vizia +™ electronic switches are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible vizia +™ on/off remotes.

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

WarnInGS anD cautIonS

:

•    Use only one (1) vizia +

TM

 electronic switch in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes without LEDs or up to 4 matching 

remotes with LEDs.

•  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.

IMPortant :

 For 3-Way applications, note that one of the screw terminals 

from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black) 

or labeled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as the 

common (Line or Load) in both the switch wall box and remote wall box.

Step 4b

Preparing and connecting wires:

This switch can be wired using side wire terminal screws or 

through backwire openings. Choose appropriate wire stripping 

specifications accordingly.

•  Make sure that the ends of the wires from the wall box are 

straight (cut if necessary).

•  Remove insulation from each wire in the wall box as shown.

•  For Single-Pole application, go to Step 4a.
•  For 3-Way coordinating remote (no lEDs) application, go to Step 4b.
•  For 3-Way Matching remote (with lEDs) application, go to Step 4c.
