LUTRON S2-LF Skylark Fan Control and Light Dimmer

Installation

For installations involving more than one control in a wallbox, refer to Multi-Unit Installations before beginning.

Turn power OFF at circuit breaker or remove fuse.

Remove switch mounting screws. Pull switch from wall.

Verify application.

This control mounts in a single-gang wallbox and independently controls a ceiling paddle fan and a light with each slider. Independent wire must be provided for the fan and light in addition to the feed wire (Live).

Tag the wire that is connected to the feed side of the switch (the side with the break-off fin).

Disconnect switch wires.

Important Wiring Information

When making wire connections, follow the recommended strip lengths and combinations for the supplied wire connectors. Note: Wire connectors provided are suitable for copper wire only. For aluminum wire, consult an electrician

Small:
Strip insulation 3/8 in (10 mm) for 14 AWG (1.5 mm2 ) wire. Strip insulation 1/2 in (13 mm) for 16 or 18 AWG (1.0 or 0.75 mm2 ) wire. Use to join one 14 AWG (1.5 mm2 ) supply wire with one 16 or 18 AWG (1.0 or 0.75 mm2 ) control wire.
Large:
Strip insulation 1/2 in (13 mm) for 10 to 14 AWG (6 to 1.5 mm2 ) wire. Strip insulation 5/8 in (16 mm) for 16 or 18 AWG (1.0 or 0.75 mm2 ) wire. Use to join one or two 12 or 14 AWG (2.5 or 1.5 mm2 ) supply wires with one 10 to 18 AWG (6 to 0.75 mm2 )

**Twist wire connector tight. Be sure no bare wire is exposed.

**

Wire the control.

*Cap Red wire if no light is used.

Connect the green ground wire on the control to the bare copper or green ground wire in the wallbox.
Connect the black wire on the control to the tagged wallbox wire removed from the switch (live wire from the circuit breaker or fuse box).
Connect the yellow wire on the control to the wire leading to the fan.
Connect the red wire on the control to the wire leading to the light.

Important Notes | Please read before installing.

NOTICE: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, or transformer supplied appliances.
Controls require separate wires in the wallbox for fan and light.
For new installations, wire a test switch before installing the control.
Set multispeed fans to their highest setting before installing controls.
Use an AY2-LFSQ, S2-LFSQ, S2W-LFSQ or TG2-LFSQ control with a ceiling paddle fan only. Use only one ceiling paddle fan per control.
Use an S2-LF only with fans marked “Suitable for use with solid-state fan speed controls.”
Controls may feel warm to the touch during normal operation.
Grounding: When no “grounding means” exist in wallbox, the 2011 National Electrical Code® (NEC®) allows a control to be installed as a replacement if 1) a nonmetallic, non- combustible 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 green wire before screwing control into wallbox.
The use of ceiling fan controls on circuits protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) may result in nuisance tripping and is not recommended.
Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
Clean control with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any chemical cleaners

Multi-Unit Installations

When combining controls in a wallbox, remove all inner side sections before wiring (see below). Use pliers to bend each side section up and down until it breaks off. S2-LF controls require reduction of their capacity. Refer to chart below for maximum capacity. Other fan-speed controls (-LFSQ) do not require capacity reduction.
