Features.
The Wireless Contact/Relay Extender is intended for use with your Control4®
system. This product addresses the need for additional or remotely located
contacts and relays.
The Contact/Relay Extender includes four contact-sensing inputs and four
normally-open or normally-closed relays. The Contact/Relay Extender
communicates to the Control4 system using either an Ethernet connection or
a ZigBee wireless (IEEE 802.15.4) connection.
The Contact/Relay Extender is designed to be installed using any of three
methods: (1) free-standing on a horizontal surface, (2) vertical-standing
using the included mounting base, or (3) surface-mounted using the built-in
screw mounts.

Installation Instructions
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following
criteria:
• 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:
Distance between devices
Layout of the home
Walls separating devices
Electrical equipment located near devices
2 Plan your connections. Use the following worksheet as needed.
3 Connect up to 4 relay outputs to the Contact/Relay Extender using
the Relay output ports found on the back of the device.
4 Connect up to 4 contact inputs to the Contact/Relay Extender
using the Contact input ports found on the back of the device.
5 (Optional) If you would like to communicate to the device via
Ethernet, plug the CAT 5 wire from the wall into the Ethernet port
(Ethernet 10/100 RJ45) on the back of the Contact/Relay Extender.
6 Plug the 2-prong AC power cord into the Contact/Relay Extender
and into a standard 120 VAC outlet. The Power LED on the front
panel should be on.
7 Configure this Contact/Relay Extender using the Control4
Composer software. (For more information, see “Design and Set Up a
Project with Interviewer” in the Composer User Guide.) When prompted
by Composer to identify this device, press the small button on the front
panel.
8 Test to see if it is working properly: Control any of the system contact
and relay devices that you connected to the Contact/Relay Extender in
the extended location.
You can use the many different interfaces available in a Control4
system (Remote Controls, Keypads, Touch Screens, or the On-Screen
GUI) to control devices attached to the Contact/Relay Extender.
