Got my switches wired up today. My father, who did the wiring, had some complaints about how the screw terminals are designed compared to the ones he's used to, but otherwise everything went fine.

For programming a switch, press and hold the switch until the LED starts blinking. Then, while holding it, press the ON button for the ID you want to learn, until the LED starts blinking faster. Release both buttons. I'm not sure what happens when the learned IDs are full (for dimmers it's described as the top and bottom LEDs alternate blinking), but I would guess the LED maybe starts blinking slower.

No problem with range for me - can't find a spot in my house where it doesn't work.

Yup, my RF dimmer is working just fine.

Still problems with the RF switches. I discovered that, contrary to the instructions that ship with the URC switch, you DO have to use the neutral. (NOTE: URC has posted updated instructions that include this information in the URC installer site Control Room forum) I hooked up to the neutral(s) for each of my RF switches, and only one works. No LED light on the other one.

The good news is, the RF dimmer, RF switch, and RF lamp dimmer that I've gotten installed and working, all work FANTASTIC with the MX-980. Awesome performance!

i have a mx3000 form 2 years back, so i need the .mxf files to "drag and drop" into my controller. so i downloaded it from the installers page, but after i extract them, all i get are two video files???? how do i drag and drop these files into the mx3000. im very confused

I believe pages 1&2 are said video file, and page 3&4 are the lighting codes.

i can not find any files...only video

Question on using a DIMMER with a simple SWITCH in a second location (like a 3 way switch circuit, except one of the two is a dimmer).

Reading the above posts, it's unclear whether the switch side of things should be a URC RF switch or an accessory dimmer.

With Radio RA it was an accessory dimmer - just a powered RF device with no switched leads, essentially.

Haven't seen a URC accessory dimmer. Just attach a hot and neutral to a switch and call it a day??

What do I tell the electricians... they will whine...

If you have a URC/Lutron dimmer in one location, just use a regular Lutron Maestro accessory dimmer in the other. That's what URC sells for use with their dimmers.

Uh - I have a couple Radio RA accessory dimmers laying around - will they work too, or have to be Maestro?

Would two dimmers and two Maestros work, or would I not have independent control of the two dimmers any more?

Chris, what happened with the one that didn't work?

I'm thinking of using two of these to control up/down on my projector screen.

Hello guys,

I just bought two MRFA-6MLV-URC to use with my led bulbs. Dimmer works almost fine with my MRX-880 ... but it does not turns completely off.

The old one (without RF) was working fine. Please help, I have no idea what's happening.

Thanks,

You have a magnetic low voltage dimmer on a LED load. Get the other model dimmer.

Thanks Lowhz.

Can you confirm what the correct model to work with led lamps ?
MRFA-600M ?

Thanks so much.

Hey guys I have a quick question. I am running a URC system with an MX 980 remote. Recently I add lamp dimmers to my setup. Here is the problem. When I the pre-programmed commands it actually resets i cable channel to 0000 every time regardless of what I press . Any Ideas how i can fix this.

I'd like to know the answer to this myself. It appears Lutron has a electronic low voltage version of this dimmer which I would assume is the right one for LED lighting, but there is no corresponding URC specific part.

Yes they have. But I need an RF compatible with URC. Does anyone knows if the Lutron products RF are compatible (same frequency etc) with URC ??
