Important Notes
WARNING – Entrapment Hazard –
To avoid the risk of entrapment, serious
injury, or death, these controls must
not be used to control equipment which is not
visible from every control location or 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. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or death.
Codes: Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.
Grounding: When no “grounding means” exist
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 nonmetallic 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.
Neutral Wire: -6NA, -10ND, -8ANS and
-F6AN-DV require a neutral wire connection
in the wallbox where the dimmer/switch is to
be installed. If a neutral wire connection is not
available in the wallbox, contact a licensed
electrician for installation.
Environment: Ambient operating temperature:
32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C), 0% to 90%
humidity, non-condensing. Indoor use only.
Spacing: If mounting one control above
another, leave at least 4 ½ in (114 mm) vertical
space between them.
Wallplates: Lutron® ® ® Claro and Satin Colors
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
½ in
(89 mm) deep wallboxes for easier installation.
Several controls may be installed in one
multigang wallbox. See Derating Chart.
Remote Dimmers / Switches: Use only remote
dimmers (CCD-RD / CCD-RD-277) and remote
switches (CCD-RS / CCD-RS-277)
with dimmers /switches. Up to 9 CCD-RD /
CCD-RD-277 or CCD-RS /CCD-RS-277 may
be used with controls. Mechanical 3- or 4-way
switches will not work.
RF Device Placement: RF dimmers /switches
must be located within 30 ft (9 m) of an RF
Signal Repeater. Remote dimmers / switches
are not required to be within a specific range
of a repeater.
For systems with an RF signal repeater,
RF dimmers / switches cannot be controlled
by the system until they are programmed in
a system.

1 Dimmer Load Type: -6D, -10D and -10ND are designed
for use with permanently installed incandescent, magnetic
low-voltage, or tungsten halogen only.
-6NA is designed for use with permanently installed
incandescent, electronic low-voltage, magnetic low-voltage,
or tungsten halogen only.
Do not install dimmers to control receptacles or motor-
operated appliances. Do not mix incandescent, halogen,
MLV, or ELV load types on a dimmer.
2 Low-Voltage Applications: Use -6D,-10D and -10ND
with magnetic (core and coil) low-voltage transformers
only. Not for use with electronic (solid-state) low-voltage
transformers.
Use -6NA with electronic (solid-state) dimmable or
magnetic (core and coil) transformers.
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.
3 Fluorescent Dimmer Load Type:
-F6AN-DV is designed for use with permanently installed
3-wire 120 or 277 line voltage control fluorescent V~V~
ballasts or LED drivers. Use only with Hi-lume ® ®, Hi-lume
3D, Hi-lume® A-Series, CompactSE™, Eco-10 , or ®
EcoSystem® (H3D-, FDB-, ECO-, HL3-, EC5-, L3D). Do
NOT use with any other ballasts or drivers. Do not install to
control receptacles or motor-operated appliances.
4 Power Boosters / Load Interfaces: -6NA, -10ND, -F6AN-
DV, and -8ANS can be used to control power boosters /
load interfaces. For a list of compatible power boosters /
load interfaces see www.lutron.com
5 Maximum Load: The maximum load for the -F6AN-DV is
either the derated load or the number of ballasts, whichever
is .LESS
6 Switch Load Type -8ANS: -8ANS is designed for use with
permanently installed 120 incandescent, magnetic V~
low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, or fluorescent loads
and with motor loads up to 1/4HP (5.8A).
7 Switch Load Type -8S-DV: -8S-DV is designed for use
with permanently installed 120 incandescent, magnetic V~
low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, fluorescent, or motor
loads; or 277 magnetic low-voltage or fluorescent V~
loads.
8 Shunt Capacitor (included): Some -8S-DV installations
may require the use of a shunt capacitor. This is especially
necessary for load types sensitive to leakage current
(i.e. fluorescent ballasts). If load flickers, install a shunt
capacitor. For shunt
capacitor installation see Wiring
Diagram 4 or 8.
9 120 V~ Remote Dimmer / Switch: -RD and -RS are
designed for use with 120V~ dimmers / switches.
10 277 V~ Remote Dimmer / Switch: -RD-277 and -RS-277
are designed for use with 277V ~dimmers / switches. Do
NOT use with motor loads.
1 When using controls in single location installations, tighten the blue terminal without any wires attached.
DO NOT connect the blue terminal to any other wiring or to ground.
2 Shunt capacitor must be installed inside the load fixture or in a separate J-box.
3 Install only 1 per circuit. Up to 9 remote dimmers / switches may be connected to a dimmer / switch
dimmer / switch. Total blue terminal wire length may be up to 250 ft (76 m).
