Section (2):  FAQs
  • Do I have to use a companion dimmer in a 4-way (three locations) application?
Yes, a Maestro companion dimmer (model MA-R) must be used with the MSCL-OP153M for a 4-Way application.
  • 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. Please see guide below. Sensor Dimmer can be placed in any location.

  • Can I use two Maestro sensors in a 3-way application?
No. You can use only one sensor in a 3-way. You'll need to use either a mechanical switch or a Maestro companion dimmer (model MA-R) in the other location. For 4-way applications, you'll need to use two Maestro companion dimmers with the sensor. You will not be able to use mechanical switches.

  • Will this work with low-voltage LEDs?
No. Low voltage LEDs utilize either a magnetic or electronic low voltage transformer. This control is neither designed nor tested to be able to control these types of devices.
