Specifications and Supported Fixtures

The Wireless Outlet Dimmer plugs into a standard, earth-grounded (3-prong) electrical wall outlet and communicates with the Control4 ZigBee (802.15.4) 2.4 GHz wireless connection through its built-in antenna.

It has two outlets that you can use it to control dimmable electrical devices, such as incandescent lamps. This is a 800 watt dimmable surface outlet that plugs directly into any standard receptacle similar to a 24VAC transformer.

The Wireless Outlet Dimmer features:

• Two individually controllable

120 VAC dimmable electrical outlets.

• Two multi-color LEDs indicate outlet

activity and system feedback.

• An external button used during initial

Wireless Outlet Dimmer setup to identify it on the Control4 system.

Install and Configure a Wireless Outlet Dimmer

The Wireless Outlet Dimmer allows you full use of the Control4 system features. For example, if you have a dimmable light plugged into the outlet dimmer, the light can be dimmed in concert with other lights when added to a lighting scene in the system.

To install and configure a Wireless Outlet Dimmer:

1 Choose a location where the ZigBee wireless

communication will be most efficient: (1) place closely enough to receive a strong signal and (2); the Dimmer should not be placed too close to devices that cause interference, such as a 2.4 GHz portable phone.

2 Plug the Wireless Outlet Dimmer into a wall

outlet. Optionally, you can secure it to a wall outlet (to protect against accidental unplugging) as described in the following steps:

a. At the wall outlet where you plan to plug in the Wireless Outlet

Dimmer, remove the outlet faceplate screw.

b. With the outlet faceplate still in place, but without the outlet

faceplate screw, plug the Wireless Outlet Dimmer into the bottom receptacle of the wall outlet.

c. Insert the outlet faceplate screw through the Wireless Outlet

Dimmer’s security screw tab hole and then screw it back in place.

3 Plug the desired device(s) into the outlet(s) on the Wireless Outlet

Dimmer.

4 Within the Composer software, add and configure the Wireless Outlet

Dimmer to control the device(s) you plugged into the Wireless Outlet Dimmer. See the Composer online help topic: “Add and Configure a Wireless Outlet Dimmer.”

Operation and Configuration

Operate the lamps and other devices you have attached to the Wireless Outlet Dimmer through one of the Control4 navigation devices, including the Wireless Touch Screen, the On-Screen Navigator (television), the Mini Touch Screen, and the LCD Keypad. Simply turn On, Off, or ramp the light up or down to the level you prefer. As you control the device attached to the Dimmer, the LED’s will display as follows:

LED Status Default Operational Mode (may differ depending

on Composer settings)

Troubleshooting

If the Wireless Outlet Dimmer does not power its attached device:

• Check that the plugs for plugged-in devices are fully inserted into the

Wireless Outlet Dimmer and that the Outlet Dimmer’s plugs are fully inserted into the wall outlet.

• Ensure the device(s) you plugged into the Wireless Outlet Dimmer

work(s) when plugged into a conventional AC outlet.

• Ensure the wall outlet power source is not turned Off or tripped.

• Verify that the Wireless Outlet Dimmer is attached and communicat-

ing with Composer (as specified in the Composer online help).

• Check Composer setting (“LED-Enabled/Disabled”) if at least one

LED is not lit.

Care and Cleaning:

WARNING! Unplug device before cleaning. Do NOT use any chemical

cleaners to clean the switch. Clean surface with a soft damp cloth as needed.
