MAESTRO Wireless. Singte-Pole Installation Incandescent/Halogen Dimmer with RF Receiver MRF-600 120V~ 60Hz 600 W Radio Frequency Wireless Transmitter with One-Touch Favorite Button MRF-VCTX 6V= 1.5 mW Important Notes Please read before installing. 1. Caution: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use {0 contro! receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, motor-operated or transformer-supplied appliances. :
Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes. When no grounding means exist within the walibox then the NECe 2005, Articie 404-9 allows a dimmer without a grounding connection to be installed as a replacement, as long as a plastic, noncombustible wallpiate is used. For this type of instailation, cap or remove the green ground wire on the dimmer and use an appropriate wallplate such as Lutrons Claroe series wallplates. Do not paint Dimmers. Do not use where total famp wattage is less than 60 W or greater than 600 W {see Dimmer Capacity Chart for detaifs}. Operate between 0 C (32 F) and 40 C (104 F). Dimmer may feel warm to the touch during normal operation. Recommended wallbox depth is 2 1/2" (64 mm) minimum. Clean dimmer with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners. ep oP COND This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Multigang Installations When installing more than one contro! in the same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove alt inner side sections prior to wiring (see befow). Using pliers, bend side section up and down until it breaks off. Repeat for each side section to be removed. Removal of Dimmer side sections reduces maximum load capacity.

Clean Contro! with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use a chemical cleaner. 3. Meets the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE} temperature standards:
-40C (-40F) to 113C (235P). 4, Do not paint the Visor Control. The range and performance of the Maestro Wireless system is highly dependent on a variety of complex factors such as:
* Distance between system components
* Geometry of the home
* Construction of walls separating system components Electrical equipment located near system components ON FULL: OFF:

Tap once to recall your favorite tight tevel.To store your favorite level, adjust rocker on dimmer, press and hold favorite button for about 8 seconds until the dimmer LED begins to cycle quickly. (Off is a valid preset level.) This transmitter is compatible with most HomeLink equipped Vehicles. Please see the manufacturer's instructions for programming information. iy Notes:
== The Dimmer(s) must learn the Visor Contro! Transmitter in order for the Transmitter to operate the Dimmer(s). Batteries are included and are pre-installed. Battery lifetime is approximately 5 years. Multiple Dimmer Applications lf multiple Maestro Wireless Dimmers are programmed to the same transmitter they will perform as follows:
Pressing the ON FULL button will cause each dimmer to brighten to full intensity, regardless of whether some are on and some are off. Pressing the OFF button will cause all dimmers to fade off. To save your favorite light level, adjust all the dimmers programmed to a transmitter to the desired level, then press and hoid the Favorite button for about 8 seconds until the dimmer LEDs begin to cycle quickly. Once your favorite light level is set, pressing the Favorite button will cause each dimmer to return to your favorite light level. System Expansion: Each transmitter can contro! up to 4 dimmers. Each dimmer can learn up to 4 transmitters. Battery Replacement The RadioFrequency Wireless Transmitter uses (2) CR2032 Lithium Coin Cell 3.0-V each batteries that are pre-installed. To replace batteries:
1. Remove 3 screws on back. 2. Remove back cover. 3, Stide out both coin cel batteries. 4. Replace with CR2032 Lithium Coin Cell 3.0 V each. 5. Replace back cover. 6. Replace 3 screws on back.
