Leviton Anywhere Switch - 6696-W - White - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Connect the green dimmer wire to your ground wire

If you are trying to control a fluorescent or cfl bulb this is what usually occurs.

If switch is electric, it might not be rated for type of bulb. Check rating label for switch... try incandescent bulb. Otherwise there might be short circuit causing bleed-over of power going to light bulb. http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-household-electricity.html Gene h If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

This switch is made for incandescent load only up to 300 watts.You will need to find another type of switch or change your light bulbs to incandescent bulbs.

INSTALL THE 2 WAY SWITCH ON THE BLACK WIRE FROM THE LINE IN. THIS WILL CONTROL THE POWER TO BOTH 3-WAYS NO MATTER WHAT POSITION THEY ARE IN.

These switches have an RF operating range of about 50', according to the manufacturer's spec. It is unlikely the neighbors are tripping them. Look around your neighborhood for a ham or CB antenna. That could do it.

Also, these switches run through the AAA batteries pretty fast. You might check them.

50' is not much range for an RF signal. You may take a look at Insteon, which have about a 200' range. Also, they create a "dual mesh" signal by mixing RF with the electrical current in the lines in your house.

You parallel the contacts then either one or both will turn it on. Both have to be off for the fan to stop.

A Leviton DHC receiver device can look like any other switch or receptacle so if you didn't install it or not provided a map then you'll need to locate it.

Likely the wall switch that originally controlled the light was replaced with DHC device and paired with the 16400 at another location. If you can't identify it, then removing face plates and devices may be the only practical method to locate it.

If your not comfortable with removing devices safely, hire an electrician.

It's two single pole switches with a removable jumper on one side. With jumper intact, you connect the hot feed to a either screw of the jumper which I belive are brass colored screws.

Then the two induvidual switch poles are the silver screws. Connect fan motor to one and fan light to the other.

If that doesnt work for you, take a picture of the switch and connections and another of wires in fan box and post here.

Crack it open and see (dill off any rivet heads).

what do you know as "regular " bulbs are they low energy or incandescent

adjust the sensitivity switch

Replace it. They fail and and that is not uncommon. good luck

red never connects to black as that is power to neutral if wired correctly get in a qualified electrician to check the wiring and help you install the unit

yes, take the white wires off the switches and splice them all together with a wire nut. Run a hot wire to each of the switches and then run the switch leg (black) from each of the fixtures to be controlled to each of the dimmers.

If the two load screws are connected with a tab that is the power in side. The color wires are the load.

Seems to be a common problem, you're not alone ( read amazon 1 star reviews). They are $22.00 so you will to dispose of it, if Leviton will not warranty it.

the 5641 is a dual switch for three way and single pole. If you want the switches to operate the CF. Connect the power to one of the two screws on the right side as you face the switch. then connect one wire to the screw on the bottom left side. connect the other screw to one of the two screws on the top left. This assumes the Red and Black you mentioned are the switch legs going to the CF.
