IMPORTANT
1. CAUTION: Use only with permanently installed fixtures with
dimmable screw-in compact fluorescent, dimmable screw-in
LED, halogen, or incandescent lamps. To avoid overheating
and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to
control receptacles, motor-driven appliances, or low-voltage
transformer-supplied appliances.
2. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
3. When no “grounding means” exists in wallbox, the 2011 National
Electrical Code
® (NEC®) allows a control to be installed as a
replacement if 1) a nonmetallic, noncombustible faceplate is
used with non-metallic attachment screws or 2) the circuit is
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). When
installing a control according to these methods, cap or remove
green wire before screwing control into wallbox and use an
appropriate faceplate such as Claro® or Satin Colors® series
wallplates by Lutron.
4. 3-way wiring must use only one Maestro
® C
•
L® Dimmer and a
Maestro® Companion Dimmer
(MA-R, MSC-AD) or an existing switch.
4-way wiring must use only one Maestro® C
•
L® Dimmer and up
to 9 Maestro® Companion Dimmers (MA-R, MSC-AD).
5. For indoor use only between 32 °F and 104 °F
(0 °C and 40 °C).
6. Maestro
® C
•
L® Dimmers may feel warm to the touch during
normal operation.
7. Maximum wire length between the Master Dimmer and the last
Companion Dimmer (MA-R, MSC-AD) is 150 ft (46 m).
8. Clean dimmers with a soft damp cloth only.
Do not use any chemical cleaners.
Fully wrap the wires around the screw and tighten (A), or strip
insulated wires to 1/2 in (13 mm) and insert into the push-in
terminals (B).
If your bulbs are flickering, buzzing or dropping out, your bulbs
may not be compatible. Please visit www.lutron.com/macl to
