INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
W
ARNING:
•
Turn OFF circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and test that power is off before wiring.
•
Never wire any electrical device with power turned on. Wiring dimmer with power on may
c
ause permanent damage to dimmer and void warranty.
• If you are not sure about any part of these instructions, please contact a licensed
electrician.
CAUTION:
1. Use only with 120V AC 60 Hz.
2
. Do not exceed maximum rating of the dimmer as indicated on the device.
3
. Must be installed and used in accordance with electrical codes.
4. If a bare copper or green ground connection is not available in the wallbox, contact
a
licensed electrician for installation.
5. To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control
r
eceptacles, fluorescent lights, motor-driven appliances, transformer supplied
a
ppliances, etc.
6
. Use only #14 or #12 copper wire with these devices.
NOTES:
1. The RF Master Dimmer is wired directly to the light fixture.
2. The RF Smart Dimmer is not compatible with standard 3-way switches.
3
. For Multi-location applications (3-Way or 4-Way) the RF Smart Accessory
D
immer(s) is used along with one RF Master Dimmer.
4. The RF Accessory Dimmer communicates via RF signals to control the light from
m
ore than one location.
5
. For multi-location control use RF Smart Dimmer Master direct wired to the light
along with RF Accessory (RF9542-Z). The RF Accessory does not require direct
connection to the light (use Association function).
6
. When installing more than one dimmer in a wall box the total lamp wattage must
b
e reduced. See Ganging chart below.

-Wave Device Network Installation Instructions
1
. This product may be added to a new or existing Z-Wave network. A Cooper Wiring
Devices Z Wave device has a blue LED, which will blink when the device is not
i
ncluded in a Z-Wave network. The LED stops blinking when the device is in a
n
etwork.
2. To include this device in a Z-Wave network, select the command on your Z Wave
controller for inclusion (Install, Add Device, Add Node, Include Device, etc.). Then
press the device switch one time to include it in the network. The LED will stop
blinking.
3. To exclude this device from a Z-Wave network, select the command on your
Z-Wave controller for exclusion (Uninstall, Remove Device, Remove Node,
Exclude Device, etc.). Then press the device switch one time to exclude it from
the network. The LED will start blinking.
4. This product works with other Z-Wave products from different vendors and
product categories as part of the same network.
5. This product is a listening node and it will act as a repeater in the Z-Wave
network. It will perform the repeater function with Z-Wave products from Cooper
and from other Z-Wave vendors.
IMPORTANT:
RF Smart dimmer will not work or will become damaged if wired incorrectly, and warranty
will be voided. Refer to wiring instructions provided on reverse side.

Switch Identification
IMPORTANT! How to identify Common Wires
Two location:
Each switch will have insulated wires connected to three terminal screws plus a green or bare wire connected to a green terminal screw. The three terminals are usually one dark colored screw and two light colored screws (ignore the Green screw). Alternatively, the
three screws may be the same color and one will be marked COMMON or COM Find the wires connected to the dark or COMMON screws. Usually these wires are black but may be red or blue. Tag these wires on both switches to identify when wiring.
Three location:
Two of the existing switches will be 3-way. The 3-way switches will be located at each end of the circuit with a 4-way switch in between. TAG the two 3-way switches as in the Two Location Control section. The 4-Way switch has 4 insulated wires connected to 4
terminal screws. VERY IMPORTANT - TAG two same color insulated wires, which are connected to screws of opposite colors.

NOTE: The Circuit Breaker must be turned “ON” during this step and
the switches must be set so that the light is OFF. Ensure that all wires
are safely separated before turning the Circuit Breaker “ON.”
Connect the tester between the tagged common terminal and ground
in one of the boxes to determine the location for the Accessory
Dimmer. If the test indicates voltage then that will be Location A, and
will be used for the Accessory Dimmer. If voltage is not present then
the other 3-way location will be Location A. NOTE: Disconnect
power after this step.
