a trim ring (sold separately) must be installed between the switch and
the wall box. Trim rings are available in both single-gang and dual-gang
versions.
IMPORTANT! This device must be attached to the wall box with screws.
Wall boxes without screw holes for mounting (for example, those that
require expansion clamps) are not compatible with this device.
IMPORTANT! Use this device only with copper or copper-clad wire. Do
not use aluminum wiring. This product has not been approved for use
with aluminum wiring.

to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle or a motor
operated appliance.
IMPORTANT! 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
“Troubleshooting.”
IMPORTANT! Do NOT use a power screwdriver to install this device.
If you do, you may overtighten the screws and strip them. Also,
overtightening the screws may interfere with proper button operation.
IMPORTANT! This is an electronic device with intricate components.
Handle and install with care!
IMPORTANT! Control4 does not guarantee the performance of any
bulb or lamp/fixture in your environment. CUSTOMER ASSUMES
ALL RISKS, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGE TO CONTROL4 PRODUCTS,
ASSOCIATED WITH (i) THE TYPE, LOAD RATING AND QUAILITY OF
THE BULB AND LAMP/FIXTURE, OR (ii) ANY USE OR INSTALLATION
NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOCUMENTATION FURNISHED BY
CONTROL4, EITHER WITH THE CONTROL4 PRODUCT OR AT WWW.

Installing the switch
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
• Do not exceed the load capacity requirements of the switch. Refer to the
load ratings in the specifications above for details.
• 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.
3 Determine whether the switch will be installed in a UK-style (square) or EU-
style (round) wall box. If the switch is to be installed in an EU-style (round)
wall box, ensure that the appropriate trim ring (sold separately) is available
before proceeding.
4 Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 7mm from the
wire end.
5 If installing in a round wall box, pull the wires through the center hole in the
trim ring. The arrows on the trim ring should face forward and up.
6 Identify your wiring application, and then see the appropriate wiring diagram
in the “Sample wiring configurations” section below.
7 Connect the switch to the wall box wires as shown in the applicable wiring
diagram.
8 Fit the wires into the wall box.
9 Follow the appropriate instructions for attaching the switch:
To install in a square (UK/China-style) wall box:
a Align the switch to the wall box as shown in Figure 1 (note the UP
orientation arrow on the switch), then fasten the switch to the wall box
using the included M3.5 machine screws (UK-style wall box) or M4.0
machine screws (China-style wall box).
Figure 1: Square wall box installation
To install in an EU-style round wall box with mounting screws on the left
and right:
a Align the switch and the trim ring to the wall box as shown in Figure2
(note the UP orientation arrow on the trim ring and switch).
b Fasten the switch and trim ring to the wall box using either the included
M3.0 thread cutting screws or the screws that came pre-installed in the
wall box. Note that some pre-installed screws may not have large enough
screw heads to securely hold the switch.
Figure 2: Round wall box installation—horizontal screw holes
To install in an EU-style round wall box with mounting screws on the top
and bottom:
a Align the trim ring to the wall box as shown in Figure 3 (observe the UP
orientation arrow on the trim ring).
b Fasten the trim ring to the wall box using either the included M3.0 thread
cutting screws or the screws that came pre-installed in the wall box. Note
that some pre-installed screws may not have large enough screw heads to
securely hold the trim ring.
c Attach the switch to the trim ring with four M2.2 x 6 mm thread-forming
screws included with the trim ring as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Round wall box installation—vertical screw holes
Note: For instructions on installing in a dual EU-style wall box with a
dual trim ring, refer to the Dual Trim Ring Installation Guide.
IMPORTANT! Tighten the screws until the device or trim ring is flush
with the wall surface, but no further. Overtightening can warp the
switch and cause it to malfunction.
10 Attach the buttons as described in the Keypad Button Installation Guide.
11 Install the Control4 Faceplate (sold separately) by placing the top of the
faceplate on the device (note the UP orientation arrow on the inside of the
faceplate) and firmly pressing the bottom until the faceplate snaps into place
against the wall.
Note: To remove the faceplate, use a flathead screwdriver. Insert the
screwdriver into the small gap on the bottom between the faceplate
and the device, then twist the screwdriver blade to pop the faceplate
o.
12 Turn ON mains electrical power at the consumer unit.

Operating the switch
On initial power up, all status LEDs on the switch will illuminate green, indicating
that the device has power. To set up this switch for use with a Control4 system,
refer to the Composer Pro User Guide (ctrl4.co/cpro-ug).
To operate this switch as a stand-alone device:
• If the light is o, press any button to turn the light on.
• If the light is on, press any button to turn the light o.
Note: If the switch is configured with a rocker-style button, both the top
and bottom rocker buttons will toggle the load. The device will need to
be configured in Composer Pro for the top button to turn the load on
and the bottom button to turn the load o.
Button tap sequences
The button tap sequences are defined in the table below. Button tap sequences
that require a single button should use the top-most button installed on the
switch. Button tap sequences requiring two buttons should use the top-most and
bottom-most buttons installed on the switch.

Troubleshooting
If the light does not turn on:
• Ensure that at least one LED on the face of the switch is lit.
• Ensure that the light bulb is not burned out and is screwed in tightly.
• Ensure that the circuit breaker is not turned OFF or tripped.
• Check for proper wiring (see “Sample wiring configurations”). If the Line and
Neutral wires are reversed, the light will be one while the switch is o, and
vice versa.
• If the light turns on when it should be o and turns o when it should be on:
• Note that, in the default configuration, all buttons will toggle the light,
even when a rocker button is installed on the device.
• Ensure that the Line and Neutral connections are not reversed.
• For help on the installation or operation of this product, email or call the
Control4 Technical Support Center. Please provide your exact model number.
