Section (1):  Choosing the correct switch for your application

There are two main factors that will help you determine which Caseta Wall Switch is best suited for your application:
 
  1. Do you have a Neutral connection (White Wire) in your switch box?
US houses built from the mid 1980's typically have a neutral (white) wire in the switch box.  The neutral (white) wires are typically tied together with a wirenut.  Here is a picture of a typical switch box that contains neutral connections:

If you have a neutral in the box, we recommend using either the PD-6ANS -or- PD-5ANS for the best compatibility with LED lamps and fixtures.

If you do not have a neutral wire in the switch box or you are not certain, the PD-5WS-DV would be the correct model.  
 
  1. Does you application require 277volts?
US homes operate at 120V.  There are some applications (typically in commercial buildings) that require 277V.  If your particular application requires 277V, then the PD-5WS-DV would be the correct model .

INSTALLATION VIDEOS
 
  1. Installation instructions for PD-5WS-DV Caseta Wireless switches 
The LUT-MLC load adapter is provided to help ensure proper operation of the in-wall switch with LED, fluorescent, and ELV lighting loads.  When controlling one of these load types, a LUT-MLC may be required, especially at lower wattages.  If the status LED on the in-wall switch is flashing or a solid red color, a LUT-MLC must be installed.  It is recommended to install a LUT-MLC with these load types regardless of wattage to guarantee best performance.  Click this LINK for the LUT-MLC Installation Instructions

NOTE:  The PD-5WS-DV switch does not require a neutral connection.  If a neutral connection is available in the wallbox, Lutron strongly recommends using the PD-5ANS / PD-6ANS where possible.  This will help address potential issues with LED lamp and fixture compatibility.
