Installation Instructions

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

• When replacing a traditional 3-way switch, refer to the “Two-Location”
sample wiring configurations provided in the appropriate load control device
installation guide.

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

• 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.

2 Turn o the mains electrical power at the consumer unit. To ensure the wires

do NOT have power running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.

NOTE: The wallbox wiring shown in this document is an example. Your

wire colors and functions may dier. If you are not sure which wires are
the Hot, Neutral, and Ground wires, have a trained electrician do the
installation.

3 Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 7mm from the

wire end (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Strip Wire Insulation

IMPORTANT!

“Warnings and Considerations,” may result in an installation less immune
to damage caused by electrical disturbances, such as ESD or lightning,
and may void the warranty.

4 Identify and connect the keypad wires to the wallbox wires using the terminal

block as shown in Figure 2 below.

Not grounding this product, as described in the section,

9 Turn ON mains electrical power at the consumer unit.

Operation and Configuration

On initial power up, all status LEDs on the keypad will illuminate green indicating
that the device has power. Until the keypad has been configured into a Control4
system, it will not control any loads. To set up this keypad for use with a Control4
system, refer to the Composer Pro User Guide.

Button Tap Sequences

The button tap sequences are defined in the table below. Button tap sequences
that require a single (1) button should use the top-most button installed on the
keypad. Button tap sequences requiring two (2) buttons should use the top-most
and bottom-most buttons installed on the keypad.

Troubleshooting

TIP:

If you are using a Control4 push-on (screwless) faceplate in a multi­gang installation, attach the black faceplate sub-plate to all of the devices
that will be installed into the wallbox prior to attaching the devices to the
wallbox. This will help ensure that all the devices are properly aligned and
on the same plane after installation.

5 Fit the wires back into the wallbox. Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so that

they easily fold into the wallbox.

6 Align the keypad to the wallbox (the model # label should be at the bottom)

and fasten it with screws. Tighten the screws until the back side of the yoke
plate is even with the wall surface, but no further. Overtightening can warp
the configurable keypad and cause mechanical malfunction.

7 Install the Top Actuator Bar, Bottom Sensor Bar, and buttons as described in

the Keypad Button Installation Guide.

8 Install the Control4 Faceplate following the instructions in the Faceplate

Installation Guide or attach a standard Decora-style faceplate.

If the LEDs do not light up indicating that the keypad is receiving power::

• Ensure circuit breaker is not turned OFF or tripped.

• Check for proper wiring (see Step 2 in “Installation Instructions”).

• For help on the installation or operation of this product, email or call the

Control4 Technical Support Center. Please provide your exact model number.

Care and Cleaning

• Do NOT paint the keypad or its wall plate.

• Do NOT use any chemical cleaners to clean the keypad.
