Specifications and Supported Fixtures

This Wireless Outlet Switch plugs into a standard, earth-grounded (3-prong)
electrical outlet and communicates with the Control4
ZigBee connection through its built-in antenna.

Use the Wireless Outlet Switch to control electrical devices such as pumps,
Christmas lights, fans, and fluorescent lights, individually or within a lighting
scene. The Wireless Outlet Switch can sense the power state of the devices
attached to it (On, Off, or Stand-by).

WARNING! The Wireless Outlet Switch is rated for a combined load of 1150
Watts; do not plug in devices that require more than 1150 Watts, either alone or
in combination.

The Control4 Wireless Outlet Switch offers these features:

• Power sensors allow the Control4 system to detect the power state

of the devices you have plugged into each outlet.

• Two tri-color LEDs to indicate outlet activity and system feedback.

• A security screw tab that attaches to the outlet’s center screw.

• An external button for manual operation and to automatically identify

the device to the Control4 system.

Install and Configure a Wireless Outlet Switch

To enable full use of the Control4 system’s features, configure your Wireless
Outlet Switch to read the power state of the devices that you plug into it. For
example, if your switch can read the power state of the DVD player, your
DVD player can then participate in concert with the lights and the other
devices in your home theater in a lighting scene.

1 Choose a location where the ZigBee wireless communication will be

most efficient: (1) Place the Outlet Switch near enough to the next
ZigBee device to facilitate communication (2); Keep the Outlet Switch
from being continually too close to devices that can cause interference,
such as microwave ovens or cordless telephones with a 2.4 GHz
frequency.

2 Remove the screw that holds the faceplate onto

the AC outlet to which you will plug the Wireless
Outlet Switch.

3 Plug the Wireless Outlet Switch into the

receptacle of the outlet, keeping the faceplate
between the Wireless Outlet Switch and the
wall.

4 Through the Wireless Outlet Switch’s security screw tab, insert the

screw that you removed in Step 2 and then screw it back in place.

5 Within Composer software, add the outlet to the project and make

necessary connections. See “Configure an Outlet Switch or Dimmer” in
Composer online help.

To identify the Wireless Outlet Switch as part of the Composer software
configuration, press the button on the top panel of the Wireless Outlet
Switch.

6 Plug in the device you would like to control, such as a DVD player, into

one of the Wireless Outlet Switch’s receptacles (on the bottom panel).

7 Push and hold the button on the top panel of the Wireless Outlet Switch

until the two LED lights flash orange, On and Off, from one to the next.

8 When the LED lights up on the side that corresponds to the outlet in

which your device is plugged, release the button. For example, if the
device you have plugged in is on the right side of the Wireless Outlet
Switch, release the button when the LED lights on the right side.

The LED on that side of the switch alone flashes orange, indicating that

it is in the first phase of learning the state (Off) of the device. When it
has completed this learning phase, the LED then shines solid orange.

9 When the LED shines solid orange, turn On the device that you have

plugged into the Wireless Outlet Switch. The LED light again flashes
orange while the Wireless Outlet Switch completes the first phase of

learning the electrical currents associated with this state (On) of the
device.

When the Wireless Outlet Switch has competed the first phase of
learning the On state, it shines solid orange again.

10 When the LED shines solid orange again, turn the device Off. The

LED flashes orange until it completes the second phase of learning the
Off state.

When the Wireless Outlet Switch has completed this phase of learning,

the LED turns red, indicating that it has successfully learned the Off
state.

11 When the LED shines red, turn the device On once again. The LED

flashes orange.

When the Wireless Outlet Switch has completed this phase of learning,
it turns solid green, indicating that it has successfully learned the On
state.

Troubleshooting

If the wireless outlet switch does not power its attached device:

• Check that the device’s plugs are fully inserted into the Wireless

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

• Ensure the device you plugged into the Wireless Outlet Switch

works when plugged into a conventional AC outlet.

• Ensure the circuit breaker is not turned Off or tripped.

• Verify that the Wireless Outlet Switch is identified in Composer.

• Ensure at least one LED is lit. The outlet adapter has two LED’s that

are visible when the unit is plugged into a receptacle. If the LED’s
don’t light correctly, contact Control4 Technical Support. The default
(out of the box) color scheme is as follows:

LED Color Connection Status

Green Solid The device is on and drawing current.

Orange The device is learning current levels.

Red Solid Device is Off (no current).
