Specification & Performance Data for Smart Dimmers
Application
Aspire RF™ Dimmers replace regular switches to provide local and remote ON/OFF/DIM/BRIGHT control and are compatible with
Incandescent, Magnetic Low-Voltage, Electronic Low-Voltage, LED, CFL and FLR lighting loads. Aspire RF Dimmers provide other
programmable functions (scenes, events, association, child lockout, etc.) when used with Aspire RF or other Z-Wave® compliant
controllers*. Each dimmer can be manually and remotely controlled by commands sent from an Aspire RF controller (RFTDCSG,
RFHDCSG, RFTCP) or other Z-Wave compatible controllers or programs. Aspire RF Dimmers utilize existing
120 V/AC 60Hz standard house wiring and fit into standard wallboxes. No new wiring needed.
*Note: some specific Aspire RF features may not be programmable

Z-Wave wireless mesh network. Any one dimmer or switch
can be associated with up to 5 devices (dimmers, switches,
receptacles, or plug-in modules)
