1. Single Pole (One location) or 3-Way (Multi-location)Scene Capable Incandescent DimmerCat. No. VRI1Ø-1L, 1000W (Lighted)120VAC, 60HzINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSDI-000-VRI10-02AWARNINGS 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.• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, fluorescent lighting, a motor- or a transformer-operated appliance.• Use with incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only.• Vizia RF +TMdimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way or 4-way switches. They must be used with compatible Vizia +™ or Vizia RF +TMremotes for multi-location dimming.• Use only one (1) Vizia RF +™ dimmer in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 coordinating remotes (without LEDs) or up to 4 matching remotes (with LEDs). The remote(s) will turn thelight on at the brightness level selected at the dimmer.WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:• Dimmer may not operate with dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16™ or Philips PAR-16™).• Total minimum load must exceed 40W.• Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.• Recommended minimum wall box depth is 2-1/2”.• Maximum wire length from dimmer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft.• 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.INSTALLING YOUR DIMMERNOTE: Use check boxes when Steps are completed.√24BkRDYL/RD135Coordinating Remote Dimmer521BlackGreenRedYellow/Red43hot (Black)Neutral (White)LoadDimmerCoordinating Remote (no LEDS)YL/RDYL/RDRDWhRDBkBkBlackDo not use forincandescentapplications.WhiteLine120vAC, 60hzGreenGroundGreenGroundTools needed to install your DimmerSlotted/Phillips Screwdriver Electrical Tape Pliers Pencil Cutters Ruler3-Way Wiring with Coordinating Remote(no LEDs) Application:Step 4bGreenGroundhot (Black)Neutral (White)LoadDimmerBlackWhiteLine120vAC, 60hzBlackYellow/RedRedInsulatingLabelSingle-Pole Wiring Application:Step 4aBlackGreenRedYellow/RedDimmerInsulating Label:This wire is used in3-way installationsonly.

Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as thecommon (Line or Load) in both the dimmer wall box and remote wall box.Step 2 Identifying your wiring application(most common):NOTE: If the wiring in the wall box does not resembleany of these configurations, consult a qualifiedelectrician.2431 241533-Way1.

LoadINTRODUCTIONLeviton’s Vizia RF +TMcomponents are designed to communicatewith each other via Radio Frequency (RF) to provide remote controlof your lighting. Using RF technology allows Leviton to provide thegreatest signal integrity possible. Each module in Leviton’s ViziaRF +TMcomponent line is a Z-Wave®enabled device. In a Z-Wave®network, each device is designed to act as a router. These routerswill re-transmit the RF signal from one device to another until theintended device is reached. This ensures that the signal is receivedby its intended device by routing the signal around obstacles andradio dead spots. The Scene Capable Incandescent Dimmer iscompatible with any Z-Wave®enabled network, regardless of themanufacturer and can also be used with other devices displayingthe Z-Wave®logo.CAUTION:Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Timerfeatures of your remote, especially when scheduling unattendeddevices. There can be some unexpected consequences if notused with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotelyturned on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damagedfrom overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remotecontrol while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. DO NOTUSE the remote for the control of high power heating appliancessuch as portable heaters. This device will not control lighting that isused with electronic low-voltage and high frequency power supplytransformers, nor high pressure discharge lamps (HID lighting).This includes mercury-vapor, sodium vapor and metal halide lamps.• Soft fade ON/OFF• Scene capable• Two way communication• RF reliability• No Neutral wire requiredFEATURES• ON/OFF LED and Brightnesslevel LED• Ease of installation – No newwiring• Compatible with other Z-Wave®enabled devicesChanging the color of your Dimmer:Your device may include color options.

No. VRCPG,press the Menu button and scroll down to System Setup. Pressthe center button to select System Setup Menu. Choose AdvancedSettings. Press the center button to select Network.B) While standing close to the dimmer, press the center button to device from the network. While the Programmer/Controlleris in the Exclusion mode and the locator LED is ON on the dimmer,press the push pad on the dimmer. The Programmer/Controller willverify Exclusion and the locator LED will turn OFF on the dimmer. If the dimmer is flashing Amber while in the Exlusion mode, theProgrammer/Controller is still trying to communicate with the dimmer.Wait until the device stops flashing, then press the push pad.Factory Default:If your dimmer is not responding, or you are unable to control it afteryou have tried to Include/Exclude it multiple times, it may be necessaryto reset the dimmer to its original factory settings. To accomplish this,proceed as follows:• On the dimmer, engage he air-gap switch (refer to Operationsection) and wait 5 seconds. Press push pad back into frame andhold push pad until the locator LED turns Amber and then turnsRed. The dimmer is now reset. Once the dimmer is reset, it will benecessary to Re-Include it to a network before it can be used.CAUTION: SETTING A DEVICE TO A FACTORY DEFAULT DOESNOT EXCLUDE THAT DEVICE FROM A NETWORK. THE EXCLUSIONPROCEDURE MUST STILL BE FOLLOWED TO REMOVE THE DEVICEFROM THE PRIMARY CONTROLLER’S INFORMATION TABLE.FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A SYSTEM THAT IS SLOW TORESPOND, OR MAY FAIL TO RESPOND TO SOME DEVICES.Step 9 Excluding Dimmer from Network:Step 8 NOTE: Dress wires with a bendas shown in diagram in order torelieve stress when mountingdevice.• Position all wires to provide room in outlet wall box for device.• Ensure that the word “TOP” is facing upon device strap.• Partially screw in mounting screws in wallbox mounting holes.Step 5A-2) The Locator LED will blink 2 times per second to indicate thedevice is in Program Mode A-2, Minimum Brightness Level.To change the Minimum Brightness Level from 1-50%, usethe DIM/BRIGHT Bar.
