• Tap once when the Dimmer is off:
Lights brighten smoothly to preset
intensity.
• Tap once when the Dimmer is on:
Lights dim smoothly to off.
• Tap twice quickly: Lights brighten
rapidly to full intensity.
• Press and hold when the Dimmer
is on: A delayed fade to OFF can
be activated. As the tap button is
held, the LEDs will begin to flash
from bottom to top. Each flashing
LED represents an additional
10 seconds of delay before the
lights fade to OFF (up to 70 seconds
of delay). This procedure must be
repeated every time a fade to OFF
is desired.

Caution: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles,
fluorescent lighting fixtures, motor-operated or transformer-supplied appliances, or electronic low-voltage
lighting fixtures.
Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
DO NOT use Maestro Wireless® Dimmers for compact fluorescent (Energy Saver) lamps.
When no “grounding means” exist within the wallbox then the NEC® 2005, Article 404-9 allows a dimmer
without a grounding connection to be installed as a replacement, as long as a plastic, noncombustible
wallplate is used. For this type of installation, cap or remove the green ground wire on the dimmer and use
an appropriate wallplate such as Lutron’s Claro® series wallplates.
Do not paint Dimmers, Maestro Accessory Dimmers (MA-R, MSC-AD), or Wireless Controllers.
Maestro Wireless® Dimmers are not compatible with standard 3-way/4-way switches. Use only with Maestro
Accessory Dimmers (MA-R, MSC-AD).
Maestro Accessory Dimmers (MA-R, MSC-AD) can not be used individually and must be used in conjunction
with a Maestro Wireless dimmer in a 3-way/4-way application.
In any 3-way/4-way circuit use only one Dimmer with up to 9 Maestro Accessory Dimmers (MA-R, MSC-AD).
Do not use where total lamp wattage is less than 60 W or greater than wattage indicated on unit label.
Operate between 32 °F (0 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C).
Dimmers may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
Recommended wallbox depth is 2.5 in. (64 mm) minimum.
Maximum wire length between the dimmer and the last Maestro Accessory Dimmer (MA-R, MSC-AD) is
250 feet (76 m).
Clean Dimmers and Wireless Controllers with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners.
DO NOT use Incandescent/Halogen Dimmers for Electronic Low-Voltage or Magnetic Low-Voltage lighting.

Wireless Controller Operation
Important Notes:
1. Meets the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) temperature standards:
-40 °F (-40 °C) to 235 °F (113 °C).
2. 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
Once the Dimmer learns the Wireless Controller, the LEDs on the Dimmer will cycle quickly from
top to bottom. Release the Dimmer’s tap button to exit set-up mode, and release the Wireless
Controller’s On button.
Repeat steps 1—2c for each additional Dimmer that is to be controlled with the Wireless Controller or
for each additional Wireless Controller that is to control the Dimmer.
Setting the Favorite Button on the Wireless Controller
Note: The Wireless Controller must be set up to a Dimmer before the Favorite can be set (see
steps 1—2c above).
Note: If a Wireless Controller is set up to multiple Dimmers, each Dimmer must first be adjusted to
the desired light level before the Favorite button is pressed and held.
1
Adjust the Dimmer(s)
to the desired light
level with the
dimming rocker.
2
Press and hold the Favorite button for
approximately 8 seconds. The light will
go to the previous favorite light level.
The LED on the Dimmer will blink,
indicating the new favorite light level.

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 control in the same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove all inner side sections
prior to wiring (see below). 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. Refer to the Dimmer
Capacity Chart below.

Tap once: lights brighten
rapidly to full intensity.

After approximately 8 seconds, the LED will stop blinking and the
lights will go to the new Favorite light level.
Release the Favorite button.
Note: Off is a valid “Favorite” light level.
Troubleshooting
Notes:
• The Dimmer(s) must learn the Wireless Controller in order for the Wireless Controller to operate the
Dimmer(s). See the Set-Up Section.
• Batteries are included and are pre-installed. Battery lifetime is approximately 5 years.
Symptoms
Possible Causes
Light does not turn ON or
no LEDs turn ON.
• Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS) on the Dimmer (or
Accessory Dimmer) is pulled out to the OFF position.
• Light bulb(s) burned out.
• Breaker is OFF or tripped.
• Wiring error. Call Lutron Technical Support Center at
1-800-523-9466.
LEDs 1 and 7 blink alternately when a • Dimmer failed to learn a Wireless Controller;

Multiple Wireless Dimmer Applications
If multiple Maestro Wireless Dimmers are set up to the same Wireless Controller they will perform as follows:
• Pressing the On button will cause all Dimmers 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 controlled by a Wireless Controller to the desired level,
then press and hold the Favorite button for approximately 8 seconds until the Dimmer’s LEDs stop blinking.
Once your favorite light level is set, pressing the Favorite button will cause each Dimmer to return to your
favorite light level.
• Use up to 4 Wireless Controllers for each Wireless Dimmer.
• Control up to 3 Wireless Dimmers with each Wireless Controller.
Light does not respond to Radio
Frequency Wireless Controller.
• Dimmer failed to learn Wireless Contoller; see Set-Up Section.
• Dimmer has already received and responded to a command, or is
already at the light level, the Wireless Controller is requesting.
• Wireless Controller is outside operating range.
• Wireless Controller batteries are low.
• Wireless Controller batteries are installed incorrectly.
When in set-up mode (tap button
held), LEDs 1 and 7 blink alternately.
• Maximum number of Wireless Controllers have been set up to
Dimmer. To remove a previously set-up Wireless Controller,
perform Set-Up step 2a, and press and hold the Wireless
Controller’s Off button.
