Overview
The HRT-3LD RF Lamp Dimmers are for use with
HomeWorks systems. The dimmer is used to provide
local control of table and floor lamps and integrate them
into the HomeWorks system.
Important Notes
Codes: Install in accordance with all local and national
electrical codes.
Danger: The Lamp Dimmer must not be used
to control equipment which is not visible from
every control location. It must also not be used
to control equipment which could create haz-
ardous situations such as entrapment if operated acci-
dentally. Examples of such equipment which must not
be operated by the Lamp Dimmer include (but are not
limited to) motorized gates, garage doors, industrial
doors, microwave ovens, heating pads, etc. It is the
installer's responsibility to ensure that the equipment
being controlled is visible from every control location
and that only suitable equipment is connected to the
Lamp Dimmer.
Overheat Damage: To reduce the risk of overheating
and possibly damaging other equipment, do not install
to control motor-operated appliances, transformer-sup-
plied appliances, or other non-lighting loads.
Environment: Ambient operating temperature:
0-40 °C, 32-104 °F, 0-90% humidity, non-condensing.
Indoor use only. It is normal for a Lamp Dimmer to feel
warm to the touch during operation.
Lamp Type: Lamp Dimmers are designed for use with
incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, and tungsten halo-
gen lamps only. Do not use to control fluorescent lamps,
touch lamps, or lamps with an integral dimmer. For
lamps with integral 3-way switches, the switch should
be set to full on. Lamp Dimmers may not work with
dioded lamps (Sylvania Designer 16

Low-Voltage Applications: Use Lamp Dimmers with
magnetic (core and coil) low-voltage lamps only. Not for
use with electronic (solid-state) low-voltage transform-
ers.
Operation of a low-voltage circuit with lamps inoperative
or removed may result in transformer overheating and
premature failure. Lutron strongly recommends the fol-
lowing:

Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO
NOT use any chemical cleaning solutions.
Cordset: Cordset length is 6 ft. (1.8 m).
RF Device Placement: RF Lamp Dimmers must be
located within 30 ft. (9 m) of an RF Signal Repeater or an
RF Processor.
Setup: RF Lamp Dimmers cannot be controlled by the
or Philips PAR-
system until they are addressed and programmed. See
