Set-Up with system
For use in a RadioRa 3 system, please refer to www.lutron.com/RA3support. For reliable performance in a system, Clear Connect-Type X devices must be placed within 25 ft (7.6 m) of two additional compatible Clear Connect-Type X devices. Clear Connect-Type X devices include, for example, RadioRA 3 Sunnata dimmer, switch, keypad and RadioRA 3 wireless processor/gateway devices. Companion devices are excluded from the list of compatible devices because they are not Clear Connect-Type X devices. Companion devices have wired communication with the main device. For more information please refer to the Wireless Setup guide: www.lutron.com/RA3support.

CAUTION
Use only with permanently installed ceiling fans. To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, motor- driven appliances, or transformer-supplied appliances.
Codes
Install following all national and local electrical codes.
Grounding
When no “grounding means” exist in the wall box, the 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 the green wire before screwing the control into wall box.
