Introduction to Home Controller HC-1000 V2

The Control4® Home Controller HC-1000 V2 provides the capability for
controlling lights, home theaters, distributed audio systems, and other devices.

It provides extensive Media Management services for audio sources, such as
CDs and DVDs stored in connected devices. It provides half a terabyte of
storage for media, and allows you to use an external storage device for
additional media storage. It also includes multi-zone audio capabilities,
distributing digital music to rooms throughout the home.

Control4 Supported Devices

NOTE: The HC-1000 V2 enhances existing system capabilities. It replaces the

main controller, running Director and Media Manager. You must have another
controller, such as a Home Controller HC-200, Home Controller HC-300, or
Home Controller HC-500 to run ZServer and to communicate with lighting and
other ZigBee devices.

The HC-1000 V2 enhances a system’s capability to control the following

devices:

*The HC-1000 V2 requires a Secondary Controller, for example, HC-200, HC­300, or HC-500 configured to run ZServer.

Install the System

NOTE: The HC-1000 V2 is not intended for use in a home theater.

To install the HC-1000 V2:

1. Ensure that your home network is in place before starting your system
setup: The HC-1000 V2 requires a wired Ethernet network connection; use
all features as designed. When connected, the HC-1000 V2 can access

Web-based media databases and Control4

system updates.

2.Connect the HC-1000 Controller to the network: To connect using an
Ethernet connection, plug the data cable from the home network connection
into the HC-1000 V2 RJ-45 port (labeled “Ethernet”) at the network switch.

3. Power up the Controller: Plug the HC-1000 V2 power cord (provided) into
the HC-1000 V2 power plug port, and then into an electrical outlet.

4. Connect the system devices as described in the “Connect Devices” sec­tion that follows.

5. Optional: Set up external storage devices as described in “Set up Exter­nal Storage Device” on page 1.

Connect Devices

Connect all applicable devices to the HC-1000 V2 using one of the connection
options described in the following table.

Table1. Connection Options

NOTE: The HC-1000 V2 has no Audio Out ports. Audio streaming is done
using the Ethernet connection.

Set up External Storage Device

You can store and access media from an external storage device, such as a
network hard drive or USB memory device. Simply plug the USB drive into one
of the USB ports and configure or scan the media from Composer.

Troubleshooting

• If the Data LED is flashing slowly, a drive integrity check or formatting is cur­rently underway.

• If the Link LED is flashing quickly, the formatting or integrity check has
failed.

• To reset the device, press and hold the Identify button. When both LEDs illu­minate momentarily, the device has been reset.

• To restore the network configuration, press and hold the Identify button
when the device is powered up until the LEDs illuminate.

• To maintain media drive integrity, the device may infrequently take an
extended period of time (up to 1 hour) to boot while a forced file system
integrity check occurs.
