fan speed control system consists of a Wall Control, one to four Canopy

Modules, and up to two Accessory Controls. All must be installed correctly before attempting to control the fans. Do not attempt to mix Lutron controls with those from other manufacturers, or mix Lutron controls not labeled for use together.

.

Do not paint Wall Control, Canopy Module, or Accessory Control.

Maestro Controls are not compatible with standard 3-way/4-way switches.

Accessory Controls (MA-AFQ4) cannot be used individually and must be used in conjunction with a Maestro Wall Control (MA-FQ4M) in a 3-way/4-way application.

In any 3-way/4-way circuit use only one Wall Control (MA-FQ4M) with up to 2 Accessory 9.

Controls (MA-AFQ4).

Operate between 32 °F (0 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C) room temperature. For indoor use only.

Wall Control and Accessory Controls may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.

Recommended wallbox depth is 2.5 in (64mm) minimum.

soft damp cloth only .

Do not use any chemical cleaners.

This system cannot be used to change the direction of the fan. To change the fan direction, stop the fan, and then change the position of the switch located on the body of the fan.

Do not use pull chains to operate fan(s) after installing this system.

Each Canop y Module must be installed within a fan canopy enclosure.

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.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

Fan does not turn ON or no LEDs turn ON.

LEDs on Wall Control cycle rapidly and bottom LED is ON.

LEDs on Wall Control cycle rapidly and second lowest LED is ON.
