Installation Instructions

Ensure that the location and intended use meet the

1

following criteria:

DO (OK, Normal) DON’T

• Install in accordance with all

national and local electrical
codes.

• Wall box size required depends

on your wiring. The 6-button key­pad alone needs a depth of 2.5
inches. To calculate the total
depth required, add 2.5 inches to
the amount of space recom­mended in the NCC Code for
your configuration.

• The range and performance of

the control system is highly
dependent on the following:

• Distance between devices

• Layout of the home

• Walls separating devices

• Electrical equipment

located near devices

• If installing a

multi-unit 6-but­ton keypad, Do
NOT continue
until you have
read “Multi-Unit
Installations” on
page 2.

• Do NOT use

where total watt­age is under 25
watts.

• Do NOT exceed

maximum load
rating of dimmer
(which is 1000W
for a single unit,
if both side tabs
are in tact).

typical wiring standards and gets power from a nearby power outlet or
light switch. It communicates to the system using a wireless
connection and features a tri-color LED for system feedback. It
supports lighting fixtures with the following load requirements:

• 120 Volt incandescent (all types)

• 120 Volt halogen (all types)

WAR NING!

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, turn all
power OFF before installing this product. Using this
product in a manner other than outlined in this
document voids your warranty. Further, Control4 is
NOT liable for any damage incurred with the misuse of
this product. See “Limited 1 Year Warranty” on page 4.
This product generates heat. The room must have
adequate ventilation or heat dissipation ability. Do
NOT use this device to control a device with a non­dimmable load. You should only use it with devices
that have dimmable feature support.

To avoid injury or death, turn OFF local

2

electrical power. To turn off the power,
either flip the circuit breaker or remove fuse
from fuse box. To ensure the wires do NOT
have power running to them, use an
inductive voltage detector.

Prepare and identify all wires. Identify the wires in your

3

wall box. Straighten the wire ends. With a wire cutter, cut off
the bare wire just below the plastic insulation on all wires.
Use a wire stripper to strip off about 3/8-inch of the
insulation.

IMPORTANT:

IMPORTANT:

The National Electric Code (NEC) requires 6 inches of
extended wire from the wall box. If your wiring does
not meet this requirement, you will not meet code. Do
NOT cut wire shorter than 6 inches.

When installing this product in a commercial
application or metal wall box, you might need to
ground it to the wall box.

Troubleshooting

If light does not turn on:

• Ensure light bulb is not burned out.

• Ensure light bulb is screwed in tightly.

• Ensure circuit breaker is not turned OFF or tripped.

• Check for proper wiring.

Multi-Unit Installations

Multi-unit installations allow you to install
one stand-alone 6-button keypad next to
another in the same wall box. Multi-unit
keypads ship pre-connected. DO NOT
remove side tabs from outer sides.They
help to regulate the capacity.

• With both sides intact (single unit), the capacity is 1000W maximum.

• If you remove one side, the capacity is reduced to 800W maximum.

• If you remove two sides, the capacity is reduced to 600W maximum.

Included Accessories
