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:
- Do you have a Neutral connection (White Wire) in your switch box?
US houses built from the mid1980'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-5ANSfor 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-DVwould be the correct model.
- 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-DVwould be the correct model .

- 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.
