HomeWorks RF Maestro local controls function much like standard dimmers and switches but can be controlled as part of a lighting control system. Local lighting controls are useful in locations where single circuits of lighting need to be dimmed or switched. Local fan speed controls are useful in locations where control of a single ceiling paddle fan is needed.
HomeWorks RF Maestro dimmers incorporate advanced features such as fade on / fade off, delayed long fade to off, and rapid full-on.
HomeWorks RF Maestro local controls include a Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS) for safe lamp replacement. HomeWorks RF Maestro local controls install in single-pole or multi-location applications.  Remote dimmers/switches are available for multilocation control. Use Lutron Designer (Claro or Satin Colors) wallplates or designer-style wallplates from other manufacturers. Wallplates are sold separately. Lutron Claro and Satin Colors wallplates snap on with no visible means of attachment. HomeWorks RF Maestro local controls support color change kits.

  1. Dimmer Load Type:
    • -6D, -6ND,-10D, -10ND: designed for use with permanently installed incandescent, LED, magnetic low-voltage, or tungsten halogen only.
    • -6CL: designed for use with permanently installed incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, tungsten halogen, CFL, or LED only.
    • -6NA: designed for use with permanently installed incandescent, LED, electronic low-voltage, magnetic low-voltage, or tungsten halogen only.
    Note: Do not install dimmers to control receptacles or motor-operated appliances.

  2. Low-Voltage Applications: -6CL, -6D, -6ND, -10D -10ND: use with magnetic (core and coil) low-voltage transformers only. Not for use with electronic (solid-state) low-voltage transformers.
    Low-Voltage Applications: -6NA: use with electronic (solid-state) or magnetic (core and coil) transformers.
    Operation of a low-voltage circuit with lamps inoperative or removed may result in transformer overheating and premature failure. Lutron strongly recommends the following:
    • Do not operate low-voltage circuits without operative lamps in place.
    • Replace burned-out lamps as soon as possible.
    • Use transformers that incorporate thermal protection or fused transformer primary windings to prevent transformer failure due to overcurrent.

  3. Do not mix CFL or LED loads with MLV loads.

  4. Power Boosters / Load Interfaces: -6NA, -6ND and -10ND can be used to control power boosters/load interfaces. For a list of compatible power boosters/load interfaces see Compatible Power Boosters and  Load Interfaces, page 10.

  5. Minimum load depends on the lamp and is not limited to a particular wattage. Refer to the LED Product Selection Tool at www.lutron.com/ledtool

  1. Neutral is recommended for best dimming performance, if available, but is not required for this load type.

  2. The minimum load shown is for neutral connected operation. If no neutral is used, the minimum load is
    2 bulbs LED/CFL, or 25 W Incandescent / Halogen.

  3. Power Boosters / Load Interfaces: -HQRD-PRO can be used to control power boosters/load interfaces. For a list of compatible power boosters/load interfaces see Compatible Power Boosters and Load  Interfaces, page 10.
    Note: For dimming MLV fixtures, the maximum lamp wattage is typically 70%–85% of the transformer’s VA rating. For actual transformer efficiency, contact the manufacturer. The total VA rating of the transformer(s) shall not exceed the VA rating of the dimmer.

Note: Do not install dimmers to control receptacles or motor-operated appliances.

  1. Power Boosters / Load Interfaces: -F6AN-DV and -8ANS can be used to control power boosters/load interfaces. For a list of compatible power boosters/load interfaces see Compatible Power Boosters and Load  Interfaces, page 10.

  2. Fluorescent Dimmer Load Type: -F6AN-DV: designed for use with permanently installed 3-wire 120 V~ or 277 V~ line voltage control fluorescent ballasts or LED drivers. Use with only Hi-lume, Hi-lume 3D, Hi-Lume  Compact SE, Eco-10, or EcoSystem (H3D-, FDB-, ECO-,HL3-, EC5-, L3D). Do NOT use with any other ballasts or drivers. Do not install to control receptacles or motor-operated appliances.

  3. Maximum Load: The maximum load for the -F6AN-DV is either the derated load or the number of ballasts, whichever is LESS.

  4. Ceiling Fan Application: -2ANF
    • Use to control one paddle-type ceiling fan (permanent split-capacitor).
    • Use the ceiling fan’s pull chain to set its speed to the highest setting.
    • Do not use to control fans that use shaded-pole motors (e.g., bath exhaust fans).
    • Do not use to control fans that have integrated fan speed controls (e.g., fans that have a remote control), unless the integrated control is removed from the ceiling fan.
    • Do not connect to any other motor-operated appliance or to any lighting load type.
    • Do not use to control a fan lighting load (e.g., light kit).

  5. Switch Load Type:
    • -8ANS and -8S-DV: designed for use with permanently installed 120 V~ incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, tungsten halogen, fluorescent, CFL, LED, or motor loads.
    • -8S-DV can also be used with permanently installed 277 V~ magnetic low- voltage or fluorescent loads.

  6. Shunt Capacitor: Some -8S-DV installations may require the use of a shunt capacitor; this is especially necessary for load types sensitive to leakage current (e.g., fluorescent ballasts). If load flickers, install a  shunt capacitor. An optional shunt capacitor must be installed inside the loading fixture or in a separate J-box.  For shunt, capacitor installation see Wiring Diagram 4, 9, or 10.

Mixing Lamp Types

Mixing lamp types (using a combination of CFL / LED, and Incandescent / Halogen bulbs) and ganging with other dimmers or electronic switches may reduce maximum wattage as shown in the chart below.
Example: If you have two dimmers ganged together and you have two 24 W bulbs installed (total CFL Wattage  = 48 W), on one dimmer, you may add up to 300 W of incandescent or halogen lighting to that one dimmer.  Repeat the exercise for the other dimmer with which it is ganged.HOMEWORKS Designer RF Maestro
