Multigang Installations
In multigang installations, several controls
are grouped horizontally in one multigang
wallbox.
When combining controls in a wallbox,
derating is required; however, no derating
is required for Remote Dimmers / Switches.

WARNING - Shock Hazard - For any procedure other than routine lamp
replacement, power must be disconnected at the main electrical panel. Working
with power ON could result in serious injury or even death.
For your safety during routine lamp replacement, remove power from the fixture(s) by pulling
the FASS switch out on both the Dimmer / Switch and all Remote Dimmers / Switches.

• Screw Terminals: use
with 12 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) or
14 AWG (1.5 mm
2
) solid
copper wire only. DO NOT
use stranded or twisted
wire.
Wrap wire around screw
terminal. Tighten securely
to 5 in-lbs (0.55 N•m).
b. Wire Connectors:
Prepare wires. When making
wire connections, follow the
recommended strip lengths and
combinations for the supplied wire
connector.
Note: Wire connector provided is
suitable for copper wire only.
Wire Connector:
• Strip insulation 3/8 in (10 mm) for
14 AWG (1.5 mm
2
) or 12 AWG
(2.5 mm
2
) wire
• Strip insulation 7/16 in (11 mm) for
18 AWG (0.75 mm
2
) wire
• Use to join one or two 14 AWG
(1.5 mm
2
) or 12 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) wires
with one 18 AWG (0.75 mm
2
) ground
wire.
For installations WITHOUT a neutral
wire: See Wiring Diagram 1a or 1b.
For installations WITH a neutral wire:
See Wiring Diagrams 2a or 2b.
Note: If a neutral wire connection
is available, connect it to the silver
terminal.
4. Push all wires back into the wallbox and
loosely fasten the control to the wallbox
using the control mounting screws
provided. Do not pinch the wires.
5. Attach the Lutron Claro or Satin Colors
wallplate adapter and wallplate.
a. Install wallplate adapter onto front of
control(s).
b. Tighten control mounting screws until
wallplate adapter is flush to wall (do
not over-tighten).
c. Snap wallplate onto wallplate adapter,
and verify that control is aligned
properly.
d. If controls are misaligned, loosen
mounting screws appropriately.
6. Restore power. Verify correct local
operation (see Dimmer Operation and
Switch Operation).
Symptom Probable Cause and Action
Lights don’t switch
ON / OFF when
Tapswitch on
Dimmer / Switch/
Remote is pressed
Power not present
• Circuit breaker OFF or tripped. Perform Short Circuit Check.
• FASS is in the OFF position. Move FASS to the ON position
by fully pushing it in. Check both the Dimmer / Switch and all
of the Remote Dimmers / Switches.
Wiring
• Wires shorted. Make sure the blue terminal is not grounded
or shorted to any other wires.
• Wiring error. Check wiring to be sure it agrees with
installation instructions and wiring diagrams.
• Increase load to meet the appropriate minimum load
requirement. See Load Specifications.
Lamps burned out or not installed
• Replace or install lamps.
Dioded lamps
• If dioded lamps are being used, replace with non-dioded
lamps.
Light turns ON and
OFF continuously
or lights turn ON
when Tapswitch is
pressed, then turn
OFF
Load is less than minimum load requirement
• Make sure the connected load meets the appropriate
minimum load requirement for that control. See Load
Specifications.
Lights don’t switch
ON/OFF from a
Keypad
Improper programming
• Program according to the system Setup Guide.
Out of RF range
• Reposition to be within 30 ft (9 m) of an RF Signal Repeater.
Wiring
• Wires shorted. Make sure the blue terminal is not grounded
or shorted to any other wires.
• Wiring error. Check wiring to be sure it agrees with
installation instructions and wiring diagrams.
Wallplate is warm Solid-state control dissipation
• Solid-state dimmers and switches internally dissipate about
2% of the total connected load. It is normal for dimmers and
switches to feel warm to the touch during operation.
Note: Refer to the system Setup Guide for additional troubleshooting
suggestions.

1 Dimmer Load Type: -6D, -10D and -10ND are
designed for use with permanently installed
incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, or
tungsten halogen only.
-6NA is designed for use with permanently
installed incandescent, electronic low-voltage,
magnetic low-voltage, or tungsten halogen only.
Do not install dimmers to control receptacles or
motor-operated appliances.
2 Low-Voltage Applications: Use -6D,
-10D and -10ND with magnetic (core and coil)
low-voltage transformers only. Not for use with
electronic (solid-state) low-voltage transformers.
Use -6NA with electronic (solid-state) or
magnetic (core and coil) transformers.
Operation of a low-voltage circuit with lamps
inoperative or removed may result in transformer
overheating and premature failure. Lutron
strongly recommends the following:
a. Do not operate low-voltage circuits without
operative lamps in place.
b. Replace burned-out lamps as quickly as
possible.
c. Use transformers that incorporate thermal
protection or fused transformer primary
windings to prevent transformer failure due to
overcurrent.
3 Switch Load Type: -8ANS is designed for
use with permanently installed incandescent,
magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage,
or fluorescent loads and with motor loads up to
1/4 HP (5.8 A).
Important Notes
WARNING - Entrapment Hazard -
To avoid the risk of entrapment,
serious injury, or death, these
controls must not be used to control
equipment which is not visible from every
control location or which could create
hazardous situations such as entrapment
if operated accidentally. Examples of such
equipment which must not be operated
by these controls include (but are not
limited to) motorized gates, garage doors,
industrial doors, microwave ovens, heating
pads, etc. It is the installer’s responsibility
to ensure that the equipment being
controlled is visible from every control
location and that only suitable equipment
is connected to these controls. Failure
to do so could result in serious injury or
death.
Codes: Install in accordance with all local
and national electrical codes.
Grounding: When no “grounding means”
exist within the wallbox, then the NEC
®
2008, Article 404.9 allows a dimmer
without a grounding connection to be
installed as a replacement, as long as a
plastic, noncombustible wallplate is used.
For this type of installation, cap or remove
the green ground wire on the dimmer
and use an appropriate wallplate such as
Lutron
® Claro® or Satin Colors® wallplates.
Neutral Wire: -6NA, -10ND, and -8ANS
require a neutral wire connection in the
wallbox where the Dimmer/Switch is to be
installed. If a neutral wire connection is not
available in the wallbox, contact a licensed
electrician for installation.
Environment:
Ambient operating
temperature: 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C),
0% to 90% humidity, non-condensing. Indoor
use only.
Spacing: If mounting one control above
another, leave at least
4
½
in (114 mm)
vertical space between them.
Wallplates: Lutron
® Claro and Satin Colors
wallplates are recommended for best color
match and aesthetic appearance. Do not
paint controls or wallplates.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean
damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical
cleaning solutions.
Wallboxes: Lutron recommends using
3
½
in (89 mm) deep wallboxes for easier
installation. Several controls may be
installed in one multigang wallbox. See
Derating Chart.
Remote Dimmers / Switches: Use only
Remote Dimmers (RD-RD) with -6D,
-6NA, -10D, and -10ND controls. Use only
Remote Switches (RD-RS) with -8ANS
controls. Up to 9 -RD or -RS controls
may be used with Dimmers or Switches.
Mechanical 3- or 4-way switches will not
work
RF Device Placement: RF Dimmers and
Switches must be located within 30 ft
(9 m) of an RF signal repeater. Remote
Dimmers and Switches are not required to
be within a specific range of a repeater.
For systems with an RF signal repeater, RF
Dimmers or Switches cannot be controlled
by the system until they are programmed
in a system according to the system Setup
Guide.

Returning Dimmers / Switches to Factory Settings
Note: Returning a dimmer / switch to its factory settings will remove it from the system and
erase all programming from it.
Step 1 : Triple tap the tapswitch on a dimmer / switch. DO NOT release after the third tap.
Step 2 : Keep the tapswitch pressed on the third tap (for approximately 3 seconds) until
the LEDs on the dimmer start to scroll up and down quickly, or the LED on the
switch flashes quickly
Step 3 : Release the tapswitch and immediately triple tap the tapswitch again. The LEDs
on the dimmer will scroll up and down slowly. The LED on the switch will flash
slowly.
The dimmer / switch has now been returned to factory settings and needs to be
reprogrammed into a system.
