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.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH,

turn OFF local electrical power before installing this product.

2 Turn o the local electrical power by either switching o the circuit breaker or

removing the fuse from the 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 before proceeding.

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 5/8 of an inch

from the wire end (see Figure 1).

Installation Guide

Figure 1. Strip Wire Insulation

WARNING! Ground the keypad in accordance with the National Electric

Code (NEC) requirements. DO NOT rely solely upon the yoke plate’s

contact with a metal wallbox for adequate grounding. Use the keypad’s

ground wire to make a secure connection to the safety ground of the

electrical system.

IMPORTANT! Not grounding this product according to the preceding

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 wire

nuts.

NOTE: Wallbox wires can dier depending upon how the box was wired

by your electrician.

5 To wire the keypad, connect and cap the wires with a wire nut as indicated in

the following ﬁgure and table.

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

they easily fold into the wallbox (Figure 3).

Figure 3. Bend the Wires

7 If you are using a Control4 push-on (screwless) wall plate:

a. 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.

TIP: In multi-gang installations, leave the screws that attach the keypad

to the wallbox slightly loose until the faceplate’s sub-plate is attached

to all the devices. This allows all devices in the multi-gang box to be

aligned before securing them to the wallbox. See the Control4 Faceplate

Installation Guide for details.

b. Install the Top Actuator Bar, Bottom Sensor Bar, and Button Keycaps

following the instructions in the “Keycap Installation” section below.

c. Install the Control4 Faceplate following the instructions in the

Faceplate Installation Guide.

8 If you are using a Decora-style screw-on wall plate:

a. Align the keypad to the wallbox and fasten it with screws.

b. Tighten the screws until the back side of the yoke plate is even with

the wall surface but no further. Overtightening can warp the keypad

and cause mechanical malfunction.

c. Install the Top Actuator Bar, Bottom Sensor Bar, and Button Keycaps

following the instructions in the “Keycap Installation” section below.

d. Fasten the faceplate to the keypad with screws.

9 Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or replace the fuse

from the fuse box.

10 Ensure that all LEDs on the front are lit.

Keycap Installation

WARNING! To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, turn OFF

the local electrical power before installing, removing, or replacing the

keycaps.

To install the keycaps:

1 Turn o the local electrical power.

2 If previously installed, remove the faceplate and sub-plate from the keypad.

3 Snap the Top Actuator Bar onto the top of the keypad.

4 Snap the Bottom Sensor Bar onto the keypad.

5 Snap the Button Keycaps onto the keypad in the desired conﬁguration.

6 To remove the Top Actuator Bar, Bottom Sensor Bar, or Button Keycaps,

simply grip the bar or keycap lightly from the right and left sides and pull out.

DO NOT pry it o with a screwdriver.

Operation and Conﬁguration

On initial power up, all 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.
