English Designer-Style Wired Maestro® Dimmers HWD-5NE, -6D, -6ND, -10D, -10ND Español Français Português Installation Danger - Locate and remove fuse or lock circuit breaker in the OFF position before proceeding. 4. Crimp the violet and gray wires of the control to the Class 2/PELV wires connected to the HWI-H48. Use the butt splices provided (see Figure 3). Push the Class 2/PELV wires and butt splices through the hole in the drywall. This provides the necessary separation required by the National Electrical Code®. c. Tighten control mounting screws until wallplate adapter is flush to wall (do not over-tighten). d. Snap wallplate onto wallplate adapter, and verify that control is not submerged. e. If control is submerged, loosen mounting screws appropriately. 9. Restore power. Check for correct local operation (see Dimmer Operation and Switch Operation). Wiring Diagram 1 Single Location Installation -6D, -10D 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 Remotes. Note: Controls do not have fins that need to be removed for multigang installations.

Not for use with magnetic (core and coil) low-voltage transformers. HWD-5NE HWD-6D HWD-6ND HWD-10D HWD-10ND HWD-8ANS 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.

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. Remote Dimmer Red 1. Turn power OFF at fusebox or circuit breaker. 2. Using a sharp utility knife or drywall saw, create a notch (~1/4 in.) in the drywall above the top right hand corner of the wallbox (see Figure 1) Note: This notch must be large enough to allow the butt splices (included) to pass through the wall, yet small enough to be covered when the wallplate is installed.

When making wire connections, follow the recommended strip lengths and combinations for the supplied wire connectors. Note: Wire connectors provided are suitable for copper wire only. Small: Included: Control Neutral Light turns ON and OFF continuously Important Notes Codes: Install in accordance with all local and national electrical codes. Note: Alternate wiring methods may be used for the Class 2 wiring connection. Provisions in the 2002 National Electrical Code® (Article 725-54) allow Class 2 conductors of the HWD-5NE, -6D, 6ND, -10D, -10ND, and -8ANS to occupy the same outlet box as the power conductors. Consult the National Electrical Code® Handbook and the local electrical inspector before proceeding. Danger: These controls must not be used to control equipment which is not visible from every control location. They must also not be used to control equipment 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. Overheat Damage: To reduce the risk of overheating and possibly damaging other equipment, do not install to control receptacles or motor-operated appliances. Environment: Ambient operating temperature: 0-40°C, 32-104°F, 0-90% humidity, non-condensing. Indoor use only. It is normal for dimmers and switches to feel warm to the touch during operation. Spacing: If mounting one control above another, leave at least 4-1/2 in. (114 mm) vertical space between them. Lamp Type: -6D, -6ND, -10D and -10ND are designed for use with permanently installed incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, or tungsten halogen only. -5NE is designed for use with permanently installed incandescent or electronic low-voltage only. -8ANS is designed for use with all permanently installed lighting loads. Low-Voltage Applications: Use -6D, -6ND, -10D and -10ND with magnetic (core and coil) low-voltage transformers only. Not for use with electronic (solid-state) low-voltage transformers.

Pull Class 2 wires from each wallbox location that contains a control to an HWI-H48. Use 18 to 22 AWG, twisted, shielded, 2-conductor wire. Dimmer communications wiring may be in a daisy-chain, star, or t-tap configuration. Each home run on a bus may be up to 500 ft. (152 m) and may contain up to 8 devices. The total length of wire on each bus (all home runs) may be up to 1000 ft. (305 m). Up to 48 dimmer or switch devices may be wired to the HomeWorks Dimmer Hub (HWI-H48). Note: Class 2/PELV wires do not have polarity. The daisy-chain wiring method is recommended to allow for future upgradability. Wallbox Figure 1: Notch the Drywall 3. Pull Class 2 wires from outside of the wallbox through the notch in the drywall -- do NOT run the Class 2 wires inside the wallbox (see Figure 2). 1/4 in. (6 mm) max. Lighting Load Wallplates: Lutron Claro® and Satin ColorsTM 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 3-1/2 in. (89 mm) deep wallboxes for easier installation. Several controls may be installed in one multigang wallbox - see Derating Chart. Single Location Installations: When using controls in single location installations, cut off the uninsulated portion of the control's multi-location wire (blue wire) and cap off using one of the provided wire connectors. DO NOT connect the blue wire to any other wiring or to ground. Remotes: Use only Lutron HomeWorks Maestro® Remote Dimmers (HD-RD) with -5NE, -6D, -6ND, -10D, and -10ND controls. Use only Lutron HomeWorks Maestro Remote Switches (HD-RS) with -8ANS controls. Up to 9 HD-RD or HD-RS controls may be used with a HomeWorks Maestro Dimmer or Switch. Mechanical 3or 4-way switches will not work. Strip insulation 3/8 in. (10 mm) for 14 AWG (2.5 mm2). Strip insulation 1/2 in. (13 mm) for 16 AWG (1.5 mm2). Use to join one 14 AWG supply wire with one 16 or 18 AWG (1.0 mm2) control wire. 120 V 50/60Hz Green Blue Green Blue Green Blue Lights don't switch ON/OFF when HD-RD or HD-RS Tapswitch is pressed White Neutral Small Large 1 Up to 9 HomeWorks Maestro Remote Dimmers/Switches may be connected to the HomeWorks Wired Maestro Dimmer/Switch. Total Blue wire length may be up to 250 ft. (76 m). Lights don't switch ON/OFF from Keypad Large: Strip insulation 1/2 in. (13 mm) for 10 AWG (6 mm2), 12 AWG (4 mm2) or 14 AWG (2.5 mm2). Strip insulation 5/8 in. (16 mm) for 16 AWG (1.5 mm2) or 18 AWG (1.0 mm2). Use to join one or two 12 or 14 AWG supply wires with one 10, 12, 14, 16 or 18 AWG control wire. 2 Neutral wire Dimmers/Switches must be connected on the Lighting Load side of a multi-location installation. Wallplate is warm Dimmer Operation Class 2 Wiring from Control 6. Wire controls as follows: Single location installation: See Wiring Diagrams 1 and 2. When using power boosters or interfaces, see Wiring Diagrams in the HomeWorks Technical Reference Guide (P/N 366-963). Note: When using controls in single location installations, cut off the uninsulated portion of the control's multilocation wire (blue wire) and cap off using one of the provided wire connectors. DO NOT connect the blue wire to any other wiring or to ground. Multi-location installation: See Wiring Diagrams 3 and 4. When using power boosters or interfaces, see Wiring Diagrams in the HomeWorks Technical Reference Guide (P/N 366-963). Up to nine HD-RD or HD-RS remotes may be connected to the -5NE, -6D, -6ND, -10D, -10ND, or -8ANS controls. 7.
