Load types and derating
Switch Load Type: HRST-8ANS is designed for use with permanently
installed 120 V~ incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-
voltage, or fluorescent loads and with motor loads up to 1/4 HP (5.8 A).
Companion Switch: HRST-RS is designed for use with Lutron 120 V~
electronic switches.
Note: HRST-8ANS controls have fins that need to be removed for
multigang installations.
* Minimum load is for INC, MLV, ELV, and Fluorescent lighting.
LED lighting minimum load is a single LED bulb.
1. CAUTION: Use only with permanently installed fixtures with screw-in LED,
self-ballasted compact fluorescent, halogen, or incandescent lamps. Use only to
control the primary side of permanently installed transformer supplied
low-voltage lighting, or in combination with incandescent lamps. To reduce the
risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment DO NOT use to
control receptacles.
2. Neutral is required for all load types.
3. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
4. When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox, the NEC® 2011, Article

replacement, as long as a plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used. For this
type of installation, twist a wire connector onto the green ground wire or remove
the green ground wire on the switch and use an ap pro pri ate wallplate such as
Claro or Satin Colors series wallplates by Lutron.
5. Protect the switch from dust and dirt when painting or spackling the wall.
6. This switch is not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. Use only
with Lutron companion switches listed above.
7. In any 3-way / 4-way circuit use only one switch with up to
4 companion switches.
8. Maximum wire length between the switch and the farthest companion switch is
150 ft (45 m).
9. Operate between 32 °F and 104 °F (0 °C and 40 °C).
10. It is normal for the switches to feel warm to the touch during operation.
