equipment, do not use to control receptacles, motor-driven appliances, or
low-voltage transformer-supplied appliances.
2. Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
3. When no “grounding means” exists in wallbox, the 2011 National
Electrical Code
® (NEC®) allows a control to be installed as a replacement
if 1) a nonmetallic, noncombustible faceplate is used with non-metallic
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 and use an
appropriate faceplate such as Claro
® or Satin Colors® series wallplates by
Lutron.
4. 3-way wiring must use only one Maestro
® C•L® Dimmer and a Maestro®
Companion Dimmer (MA-R, MA-RR, MSC-AD) or an existing switch. 4-way
wiring must use only one Maestro
® C•L® Dimmer and up to 9 Maestro®
Companion Dimmers (MA-R, MA-RR, MSC-AD).
5. For indoor use only between 32 °F and 104 °F (0 °C and 40 °C).
6. Maestro
® C•L® Dimmers may feel warm to the touch during normal
operation.
7. Maximum wire length between the Master Dimmer and the last
Companion Dimmer (MA-R, MA-RR, MSC-AD) is 150 ft (46 m).
8. Clean dimmers with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use any
chemical cleaners.
Fully wrap the wires around the screw and tighten (A), or strip
insulated wires to 1/2 in (13 mm) and insert into the push-in
terminals (B).
If your bulbs are flickering, buzzing or dropping out, your bulbs may
not be compatible. Please visit www.lutron.com/macl to check the
Compatible Bulb List.

Lutron MACL-153M-RHW-WH Questions and Answers


#1 DO I need to use the screwless face plates? I want to install one switch in a five gang box with 4 conventional switches.

We have them all over our house and used regular Decora faceplates with screws. We also combined them in some multi-gang boxes with other types of switches, no problem.

#2 Does this pair of Dimmers come with the handheld Remote Control or do you have to buy that extra?

No - no remote control. I do not believe these dimmers are designed to work with a handheld remote control. This is just a master and slave pair of dimmers. Warning: if you listen to AM radio they buzz a lot through the radio.

#3 Do these digital switches require either ground or neutral to work properly?

No, neither unit in this package, require a ground, or a neutral to work properly.

#4 Do you need to wire both switcthes or just the main one ? and the 2nd is just like a remote?

Both must be wired. The instructions are included and is fairly easy and straight forward to install provided you have a second switch already in place within the room. Otherwise you will need to run some wire.

#5 Can I mount them sideways [wall box is horizontal] [top arrow to the right or left]

I can't think of any reason why not. They operate by the force applied to the switch, not gravity so it shouldn't be a problem.

#6 Can a Lutron remote pair with these switches?

The Maestro CL Dimmer Kit is a set of standalone controls which do not offer wireless communication capabilities. For this functionality, Lutron would suggest our Caseta Wireless line of products.

#7 Is this Digital Dimmer Kit work with 6 inch inline fan?

A fan speed controller and a light dimmer are not the same. To the best of my knowledge the answer is no. However Lutron makes Maestro controllers specifically designed for use with fans.

#8 I have only one switch controlling each of my bedrooms' light. Can I use the companion dimmer in my bedrooms or should I use only the master dimmer?

The companion dimmer only works with the master dimmer by allowing you to control the dimming feature from both switch locations for a light fixture on a 3-way switch. It functions like a relay by sending the dimming control signal back to the master switch.

#9 Can you remove plate and install into an already existing gang wall plate?

This switch will marry up with any standard single or multi-gang cover plate. Be sure to remove side tabs for multi-gang installation.

#10 What model numbers come in this pack?

I don't understand your question exactly. This is a pair of switches that can be wired as a three-way switch to turn on/off and dim your lights from either switch location. The model is fairly clear. I can tell you that their customer/technical support is excellent and you can call them about any question you have.

#11 Are the switches lighted? I have three switches controlling my lights, does the third need to be a companion dimmer?

I only have two controlling my lights, the master switch is the only one that is lighted. for your second question I think you only need a companion switches.

#12 I switched from 30w incandescent bulbs to 6w led. my current dimmer leaks a small curent even when off which lights up the led. does this dimmer too?

No dimmer should leak current through lights when off. I use LEDs with mine and they are off. You likely have a defective rheostat or trimmer resistor in your unit. That could be a potential fire hazard

#13 Does this dimmer switch interface with Alexa?

This product does not have a wireless option and is not compatible with Alexa. For Alexa compatible products, you would want to check out the Lutron Caseta system.

#14 Is this 1 dimmer switch or a pair?

This pack contains two dimmers that are made to work together in a multi-switch application.

#15 Can I use this dimmer on 2 different locations to control my ceiling kitchen lights (5)?

Yes, this package includes a master dimmer (MACL-153M) and companion dimmer (MA-R) which are designed to work together in a multi-location circuit. Up to 9 companion dimmers can be used with one master control

#16 Can I use 2 different circuits to power each dimmer?

The Maestro CL dimmer kit is designed to be used on a 3-way circuit. These devices should be powered by the same circuit.

#17 Do these digital switches require either ground or neutral to work properly?

No, neither unit in this package, require a ground, or a neutral to work properly.
