Consolidated guide to basic caseta setup

[Brian(J)]

I found it useful to put all the information I use regularly on one sheet. Your comments are welcome.

CASETA GUIDE

COLOR CODES:
RED = LOAD OUT
BLACK = LINE IN
BLUE = MECHANICAL 3-WAY (CAP)

PAIRING
1. AT WALL OR PLUG-IN DIMMER, PRESS OFF BUTTON UNTIL LIGHTS BLINK (~ 6 SECONDS)
2. AT PICO(s) PRESS OFF BUTTON UNTIL LIGHTS BLINK 3 TIMES. LIMIT IS 9 PICOS/DIMMER.

SET FAVORITE ON PICO
1. AT DIMMER(s) RAISE/LOWER TO DESIRED LEVEL
2. AT PICO PRESS FAVORITE BUTTON UNTIL LIGHTS ON DIMMER(s) BLINK TWICE
3. MULTIPLE DIMMERS- STEP #2 WILL SET ALL ASSOCIATED DIMMERS TO CURRENT LEVEL

SET FAVORITE ON DIMMER, ALL TYPES
1. AT DIMMER RAISE/LOWER TO DESIRED LEVEL
2. PRESS FAVORITE BUTTON UNTIL LIGHTS ON DIMMER BLINK TWICE

CHANGE PHASE OF ELV+ DIMMER
DIMMER OFTEN COMES REVERSE PHASE(ELV). TO SWITCH BETWEEN FORWARD AND REVERSE PHASE:
1. CYCLE DIMMER- PULL OUT THEN PUSH IN SERVICE SWITCH AT BOTTOM OF DIMMER
2. HOLD DOWN ON AND OFF BUTTONS UNTIL A TOP OR BOTTOM STATUS LIGHT BLINKS (~ 6 SECONDS)
3. TOP BLINK=FORWARD PHASE (MLV, INCAN.) BOTTOM BLINK=REVERSE PHASE (ELV)
4. PRESS FAVORITE BUTTON TO TOGGLE BETWEEN FORWARD AND REVERSE PHASE
5. SAVE BY PRESSING BOTTOM/OFF BUTTON UNTIL BLINK STOPS (~ 6 SECONDS)
6. SOMETIMES DIMMER WILL LOCK ON FULL. USUALLY A REPEAT OF STEP #1 WILL SOLVE THIS

ADJUSTING LOW END TRIM

Excellent list! I've just done a few installs with the new ELV dimmer, and found the error lights flashing (top and middle led's) for a few reasons:
1. Phase direction incorrect (as per above)
2. Line and load connections switched
3. Too high a load (in my case I tried to install this with a total of 12 50W MLV driven halogens). The ELV+ dimmer has a substantially lower load limit for these compared to the Pro dimmer.

One more thing. Sometimes, the ELV+ dimmer gets stuck on full with status lights flashing, no matter what phasing you set it to. This can be fixed by resetting the dimmer by doing the following:

1. TOP THE ON BUTTON THREE TIMES HOLDING THE THIRD TAP ON
2. CONTINUE TO HOLD THE ON BUTTON UNTIL THE LIGHT AND OR STATUS LIGHTS FLASH QUICKLY
3.RELEASE THE BUTTON AND THEN IMMEDIATELY TAP THE ON BUTTON THREE MORE TIMES.

This factory resets the dimmer, removes all pairings, etc. and solves the stuck on issue.

I also had the problem with the top and middle blinking. Tried all the steps here to no avail. The one thing that fixed it? Changing the light bulb. The LED bulb failed. A new one did the trick.
