SETUP

NOTE: Dress wires with a bend as shown in diagram in order to relieve stress when mounting dimmer.

Leviton Wi-Fi ® devices are compatible with the My Leviton App and my.Leviton.com cloud service. The app is used to pair your device with your Wi-Fi ® network, customize your device configuration and provide communication via my.Leviton.com.

To control the Leviton Wi-Fi ® device it will need to be added to a

Wi-Fi ® network with Internet access:

• Download the My Leviton App.

• Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.

• Press pad until locator light is OFF.

Lights should turn ON. If lights do not turn ON, press the TOP half of the DIM/

BRIGHT Bar until the lights brighten.

If lights still do not turn ON, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Step 6

Dimmer Mounting:

TURN OFF POWER AT

CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE.

Installation may now be completed by tightening mounting screws into wall box.

Attach wall plate.

Step 7 Restore Power:

Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.

Installation is complete.

OPERATION

NOTE: At default the locator light will illuminate when the load is in the OFF position to facilitate access in the dark.

NOTE: If using the dimmer in a 3-way application, the lights will turn ON at brightness set on dimmer’s DIM/BRIGHT bar. The lighting can be controlled from either the dimmer, the remote location or a

My Leviton App.

DECORA SMART

TM

FEATURES

Decora Smart TM products contain unique features which can be configured via the My Leviton App.

Load Type Setup:

Leviton Decora Smart TM dimmers are compatible with different types of loads. Choosing the correct load type will increase compatibility and provide proper operation.

• Incandescent Loads (Default)

Locator LED Setup:

Leviton Decora Smart TM dimmers have a locator LED on the bottom of the paddle. The LED can be used to locate the dimmer in the dark, indicate the current load status, or can be turned OFF at all times.

the light is currently ON, the LED is ON, if the light is currently OFF, the

LED is OFF.

• Locator Mode (default): Uses the LED to help find the dimmer in a dark room. If the light is currently OFF, the LED is ON, if the light is currently ON, the LED is OFF.

LED Level Indicator Timeout

The LED indicators on the side of the dimmer can be programmed to be

ON, OFF, or timeout after a predefinded period of time.

• Level Indicators OFF

• Level Indicator Timeout (seconds)

• Levels Indicators Always ON

Fade Times

Adjusting the ON or OFF time will affect the speed that the lighting load will transition. Both ON and OFF times can be configured separately.

Light Levels

The dimmer can be set to allow a minimum or maxium lighting level.

When using LED bulbs it is recommended to adjust the minumum light level to the lowest level possible when the load is illuminated without flicker.

Preset Light Level

The preset light level feature addresses how the dimmer behaves when turned ON. Default is memory dim, a feature that returns the dimmer to the last dim level. Alternatively, preset dim can be set which will place the dimmer to a level predefined by the app regardless of the last known state. In both modes the dim/bright bar can be used to select a dim level before turning the load ON.

WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH

DO NOT USE the remote for the control of high power heating appliances such as portable heaters. There can be some unexpected consequences if not used with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. This dimmer will not control lighting that is used with electronic low-voltage and high frequency power supply transformers, nor high pressure discharge lamps (HID lighting). This includes mercury-vapor, sodium vapor and metal halide lamps.
