Overview

This document describes the Caséta Wireless in-wall dimmer, a device designed to replace existing light switches to enable remote control of your lighting. It's part of the Caséta Wireless system, offering convenience and enhanced control over your home's illumination.

Function Description

The Caséta Wireless in-wall dimmer allows you to remotely control your lights. By replacing a standard wall switch with this dimmer, you gain the ability to adjust light levels from a distance, either through a paired Pico remote control (sold separately) or potentially through other Caséta Wireless system components. The dimmer is designed to work with various energy-efficient dimmable light bulbs, including LEDs, CFLs, halogens, and incandescents. It provides a range of dimming capabilities, allowing you to set the ambiance in any room.

Usage Features

  • Remote Control Capability: The primary feature is the ability to control your lights remotely. Once installed and paired with a Pico remote control, you can turn lights on/off, brighten/darken them, and recall a favorite light level without needing to physically interact with the wall-mounted dimmer.
  • Easy Installation: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for installing the dimmer in a single-pole (one wall switch) setup. It emphasizes the importance of turning off power at the circuit breaker before installation and recommends watching an installation video for guidance.
  • Compatibility with Various Bulb Types: The dimmer is compatible with a wide range of dimmable light bulbs, including LED (up to 150 W), CFL (up to 150 W), Halogen (up to 600 W), and Incandescent (up to 600 W). This versatility allows users to integrate the dimmer with their preferred lighting solutions. The manual also notes that you can mix and match different bulb types.
  • Wattage Derating for Multi-Gang Installations: When installing multiple dimmers side-by-side in a multi-gang wallbox, side sections of the dimmer can be removed to fit. However, removing these sections reduces the dimmer's maximum wattage rating. The manual provides a derating chart to help users understand the adjusted wattage limits for different configurations (no sides removed, one side removed, or two sides removed). This feature ensures safe operation when multiple dimmers are installed closely together.
  • Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS): The in-wall dimmer includes a FASS, which is a pull-out switch that removes power at the light socket. This is a crucial safety feature, particularly useful when replacing light bulbs, as it allows you to cut power to the fixture directly from the dimmer without needing to go to the circuit breaker.
  • Pico Remote Control Integration: The dimmer is designed to be paired with a Pico remote control (sold separately). The remote offers intuitive control with dedicated buttons for On, Brighter (with a raised icon for easy tactile identification in the dark), Darker, Off, and a Favorite button.
  • Favorite Light Level Setting: Users can set and recall a "favorite" light level using the Pico remote control. The default favorite level is 50%, but it can be customized to any desired light level. This allows for quick access to a preferred lighting ambiance.
  • Pairing Process: The manual outlines a simple pairing process for connecting the dimmer with a Pico remote control. This involves pressing and holding the "off" button on both the dimmer and the remote for a few seconds until LEDs blink or lights flash, confirming successful pairing. Multiple Pico remotes can be paired with a single dimmer.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive troubleshooting section is included to help users diagnose and resolve common issues, such as lights not turning on, LEDs not lighting up, the dimmer not responding to the Pico remote, or bulbs flickering/turning off while being dimmed. This guide offers probable causes and actions, directing users to check bulb compatibility, wiring, FASS switch position, pairing status, remote control range, and battery levels.
  • Online Support: For advanced features, tips for using the dimmer with CFLs and LEDs, a complete product line overview, and additional troubleshooting suggestions, users are directed to the Caséta Wireless website. This ensures ongoing support and access to more detailed information.
  • Warranty Extension: Users have the opportunity to double their product warranty by registering their dimmer online and providing feedback. This incentivizes engagement and offers extended peace of mind.

Maintenance Features

  • Light Bulb Replacement Safety: The FASS feature simplifies light bulb replacement by allowing users to safely remove power to the light socket directly from the dimmer, eliminating the need to access the main circuit breaker for this task.
  • Bulb Compatibility Guidance: The manual provides a list of approved dimmable LED and CFL light bulbs, and advises users to visit the website for the most up-to-date list and information on adjusting the dimmer for optimal bulb performance, especially if flickering or turning off occurs. This helps users maintain optimal lighting performance and avoid issues related to incompatible bulbs.
  • Indoor Use and Temperature Range: The device is specified for indoor use only and designed to operate within a temperature range of 32 °F (0 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C), ensuring proper functioning and longevity under typical indoor conditions.
  • Compliance with Codes and Regulations: The manual emphasizes the importance of installing the dimmer in accordance with all national and local electrical codes. It also provides information regarding FCC/IC compliance, ensuring that the device meets regulatory standards and operates without causing harmful interference.
  • Grounding Guidelines: Specific instructions are provided for grounding, particularly when a "grounding means" does not exist in the wallbox, detailing methods to ensure safe installation in various electrical setups.
