Installation Instructions

system. The switch installs in a standard wall box using typical wiring

WARNING!

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 1Year Warranty”. This product generates heat. The room must have adequate ventilation or heat dissipation ability.

1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:

• Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

• Wall box size required depends on your wiring. To calculate the total depth

required, add 2.5 inches to the amount of space recommended in the NEC (National Electric Code) for your configuration.

• The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly

dependent on the following:(1) Distance between devices; (2) Layout of the home; (3) Walls separating devices; and (4) Electrical equipment located near devices.

• If installing a dimmer in a multi-unit installation, DO NOT continue until you

have read the “Multi-Unit Installations” section.

• DO NOT use where total wattage of the load is under 25 watts.

• DO NOT exceed maximum load rating of dimmer (which is 1000W for a

single unit, if both side tabs are intact).

2 To avoid injury or death, turn OFF local electrical

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

WARNING!

As with any electrical device, improper use or installation can cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. It is important that you understand the particular wiring configuration of your installation. (Refer to the Wiring Configurations section of this document. Note: These are not the only wiring scenarios you may encounter.) If you are not sure which wires are the Hot, Neutral, or Load wires, have a trained electrician do the installation.

3 Use screwdriver to remove

wall plate and existing switch from wall.

4 Detach existing switch or dimmer.

The existing switch or dimmer is wired in one of three ways: terminal screws, backwire, or wire nuts.

Terminal Screws:

Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws to release the wire.

Backwire:

Insert screwdriver in Wire Release slot and pull out wire. If this does not work, use a wire cutter to cut the wire.

5 Identify the wires in your

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

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.

Wire Nuts:

Turn to remove wire nuts from existing wiring.

6 Connect the switch wires to the wall box

wires using wire nuts. Wall box wires can differ depending upon how the box was wired by your electrician and where the power source comes from—either the light fixture or the wall box. Refer to the “Sample Wiring Configurations” section.

7 Fit wires back into the wall box.

Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily fold into the wall box.

8 If you are using a Decora-style

screw-on wall plate:

a. Remove the switch’s black

plastic sub-plate (located directly behind the screws) and store it for future use (in case you later change wall plates).

b. Align the dimmer to the wall

box and fasten with screws.

c. Fasten the wall plate to the

dimmer with screws.

9 If you are using the

Control4 snap-on wall plate that shipped with your switch:

a. Align the switch to the

wall box and fasten it with screws

b. Snap the wall plate

onto the dimmer.

10 Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or

replace fuse from fuse box.

11 Test the switch to see if it is working properly.

See “Operation and Configuration” for specific instructions.

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 (see the “Sample Wiring Configurations” section).

Limited 1-Year Warranty

This device has a limited one (1) year warranty on parts from the date of purchase. Control4 will replace or repair any defective unit. Return unit to the place of purchase for replacement. For any damages incurred, the warranty will never exceed the purchase price of the device. This warranty does not cover installation, removal, or reinstallation cost. The warranty is not valid in cases where damage incurred due to misuse, abuse, incorrect repair, or improper wiring or installation. It does not cover incidental or consequential damage. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you might also be entitled to other rights that vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conseqential damages. In these cases, the above mentioned limitations might not apply to you. For complete warranty information, see www.Control4.com.To automatically receive notification of upgrades, return the enclosed registration card or register online at www.Control4.com.

Multi-Unit Installations

Multi-unit installations allow you to install one stand-alone switch next to another in the same wall box.

Remove Inner-Side Breakaway Tabs

When doing a multi-unit installation, you must remove ONLY the breakaway tabs on the one switch side that will be adjacent to another switch side (otherwise the tabs on the 2 sides will collide). DO NOT remove tabs on

any side that will become the outer side of a group of switches. Use pliers to bend a tab back and forth until it comes off.

Resulting Capacity Depends on Side Tab Status

• With both sides’ breakaway tabs intact, the capacity is 1000W maximum.

• If you remove 1 side’s tabs, the capacity is reduced to 800W maximum.

• If you remove 2 sides’ tabs, the capacity is reduced to 600W maximum.
