How to Program MACL-153M with your control powered on step by step

  • Can I use the Maestro MACL-153M dimmer in a 3 way application with a mechanical On/Off switch?

Yes! The MACL-153M will wire to one mechanical switch in a three way application. This requires a wiring adjustment at the three way switch where in you will be just using two connection points on the mechanical switch instead of the standard three. Please see the Wiring for the 3-Way with mechanical switch below.

  • Can I use mechanical switches in a 4-way (three or more locations) application with the MACL?

You can't use mechanical switches in a 4-way application. You'll need to use Maestro companion dimmers (model MA-R). 

  • Can I use two MACL-153M dimmers in a 3-way application?

No, If you wish to dim from multiple locations, you'll need one MACL-153M and one Maestro companion dimmer (model MA-R).

  • How does a Maestro wire in a 4-way if there are only 3 terminals?

In a 4-way location, two wires will be connected to the blue screw terminal. These will be the wires that are tied to the blue screws on the other two dimmers. See wiring diagrams below. Maestro Companion dimmers must be used in a 4-way application.
