C4-6NDIM1-Z Wireless Dimmer, 600 Watt, No-Status
Specifications and Supported Fixtures
This Control4® Wireless Dimmer, 600 Watt, No-Status operates independently or as part
of a Control4 Home-Automation System to enable intelligent lighting control. It installs in a
standard wall box using typical wiring standards and communicates with other devices
through a wireless RF (radio frequency) connection.
IMPORTANT! This product generates heat during normal operation.
IMPORTANT : Ce produit produit la chaleur pendant l'opération normale.
IMPORTANT! Use or modification of this product in a manner not expressly
approved by Control4 voids your warranty. Further, Control4 is NOT liable for
any damage incurred with the misuse of this product. See "Limited 2 Year
Warranty."

pas expressément approuvée par les vides Control4 votre garantie. De plus,
Control4 n'est pas responsable pour aucun dommage encouru avec le mauvais
usage de ce produit. Voir "Limited 2 Year Warranty."
IMPORTANT! 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.
IMPORTANT : la gamme et la performance du système de contrôle sans fil
dépendent hautement de la chose suivante : (1) la distance entre les artifices;
(2) la disposition de la maison; (3) les murs séparant des artifices; et (4)
l'équipement électrique se positionnait près des artifices.
Installation Instructions
1 Turn OFF the power by switching off the circuit breaker or removing
the fuse and testing that the power is off before wiring!
2 Ensure that the Dimmer capacity matches the load requirements. In
multi-Dimmer installations, a reduction of the Dimmer's capacity is
required to allow the Dimmers to be installed side-by-side in the
same wall box. The Dimmer capacity depends on the number
"ganged" in the wall box as follows:
• 1 gang = 600 W / VA maximum
• 2 gang = 500 W / VA maximum per dimmer
• 3 or more gang = 400 W / VA maximum per dimmer
If installing in multi-gang scenarios, use pliers to remove the
inner-side break-away tabs: Bend each one back and forth
until it breaks off. Remove the inner-side tabs ONLY on any
device side that will be adjacent to another device. DO NOT
remove tabs on any side that will become the outer side of
a group of devices.
3 Identify your wiring application and see the appropriate diagram in "Sample Wiring
Configurations."
• Single-Location Scenario—Power Source at Wall Box
• Single-Location Scenario—Power Source at Light Fixture
4 Prepare wires by removing the pre-cut insulation
from the appropriate Dimmer leads. Wire
insulation should be stripped back 5/8 of an inch
from the wire end (as shown).
5 Connect the Dimmer wires to the wall box wires
using the wire nuts according to the relevant wiring
diagram. See “Sample Wiring Configurations.”
6 Mount the Dimmer into the wall box by partially
securing the wall box screws attached to the Dimmer.
Ensure that the word "Top" on the Dimmer frame is facing
up. Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily
fold into the wall box.
