LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM
(No neutral required version)
Application
The Aspire RF™ 8A switch (RF9518) replaces regular switches or dimmers to provide local and remote ON/OFF control for
incandescent loads. Moreover, the Aspire RF switch provides other programmable functions (scenes, events, association, child
lockout, etc.) when used with Aspire RF controllers (RFHDCSG, RFTDCSG) or other Z-Wave® compliant controllers*. Each switch
can be manually controlled and remotely controlled by commands sent from an Aspire RF controller or other Z-Wave compatible
controllers or programs. An Aspire RF switch utilizes existing 120 V/AC 60Hz standard house wiring and fits in a standard wallbox.
No new wiring is needed. *Note: some specific ASPIRE RF features may not be programmable.

Consideration
An Aspire RF™ Z-Wave® enabled device
must be within 60 feet of another Z-Wave
enabled device to participate in a Z-Wave
wireless mesh network. Any one dimmer or

5 devices (dimmers, switches, receptacles
or plug-in modules).
