Product Information

The Claro Smart Switch DVRF-5NS is a single-pole switch that is rated for 120 volts and 50/60 Hz. It is designed to control lighting and general-purpose fan loads. The switch is UL-Listed for use with all magnetic and electronic fluorescent ballasts. It supports LED, fluorescent, incandescent, halogen, ELV, MLV, and general-purpose fan loads.

The switch comes with a jumper wire, six wire connectors, and two screws. It requires a flat-head screwdriver and a Phillips-head screwdriver for installation. The switch has a green wire for the ground connection, a red wire for the load connection, a black wire for the hot connection, a white wire for the neutral connection, and a blue wire that is not used for single- pole installations.

The switch is compatible with the Lutron Caseta Wireless system and can be installed in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

• Step 4: Connect the bare copper (or green) ground wire from the wall box to the green wire on the switch using one of the largely supplied wire connectors.
• Step 5: Connect the load wire from the wall box to the red wire on the switch using one of the largely supplied wire connectors.
• Step 6: Connect the hot wire from the wall box to the black wire on the switch using one of the largely supplied wire connectors.
• Step 7: Connect the neutral wire from the wall box to the white wire on the switch (neutral connection required) using one of the largely supplied wire connectors.
• Step 8: Cap the blue wire coming from the switch with the small supplied wire connector. The blue wire is not used for single-pole installations.
• Step 9: Mount the switch using the mounting screws provided, leaving them loose for this step.
• Step 10: Attach the adapter to the switch using the screws provided. Tighten the mounting screws on the switch. Snap on the wallplate.

When installing a control according to these methods, cap or remove the green wire before screwing the control into the wall box.
