Installation Instructions

1 TURN OFF POWER by switching off the circuit breaker or

removing the fuse and test that power is off before wiring!

2 Identify your wiring application (refer to the appropriate diagram

in “” on the back page).

• "Single-Pole (with power source at wall box) - see Figure 1

• "3-Way (with power source at wall box) - see Figure 2

3 Prepare wires by removing pre-cut

insulation from the appropriate switch

leads. Wire insulation should be stripped

back 5/8 of an inch from the wire end (as

shown).

4 Connect the switch wires to the wall box

wires using wire nuts according to the relevant

wiring diagram. See “Sample Wiring

Configurations.”

5 Mount Switch into wall box by partially securing

the wall box screws attached to the switch. Ensure that

the word "Top" on the switch frame is facing up. Bend

wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily fold into the

wall box.

WARNING! Ground the Wireless Switch in

accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) requirements. Although the

switch's aluminum yoke plate and green ground wire are directly bonded

together inside the switch, DO NOT rely solely upon the yoke plate's contact

with a metal wall box for adequate grounding. Use the switch'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 lightning, and void the warranty.

6 If you are using the Control4 push-on (screw-less) wall plate that shipped with

your switch:

a. For a single-gang scenario, attach the black plastic sub-plate using the

provided sub-plate screws.

IMPORTANT! Tighten the screws until the back side of the metal yoke plate

is even with the wall surface, but no farther. Over-tightening can damage the

switch and cause mechanical malfunction. Do NOT use a powerscrew driver to

install this device as this may lead to over-tightening.

b. If you are installing in a multi-gang scenario, only partially tighten the

mounting screws, leaving about 1/8 of an inch gap between the wall and the

yoke plates prior to attaching the black plastic sub-plate. This allows each

device in a multi-gang scenario to conform to the sub-plate, creating a single

assembly. Secure the multi-gang sub-plate to all devices using the provided

sub-plate screws. Then secure the assembly by tightening the wall box

screws the remaining 1/8 of an inch. Do not over-tighten any of the screws

or you will misalign the flat plane of the multi-gang wall plate.

c. With the wall plate's removal slot facing down, push the wall

plate onto the switch's black plastic sub-plate.

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

a. Do not attach the switch's black plastic sub-plate

b. Align the switch to the wall box and fasten with screws.

c. Fasten the wall plate to the switch with screws.

8 Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or replace fuse from fuse

box.

9 Test the switch to see if it is working properly. See "Operation

and Configuration" for specific instructions.

Single-Location Scenario—Power Source at Wall Box

NOTE: This device will not function without a neutral AC connection.

To wire the switch for a Control4 single-location scenario in which the

power is first routed to the wallbox, connect together and cap with a

wire nut the wires indicated in the following table:

Switch Wires Wires in the Wall Box

From Power Source To Light Fixture

White (neutral) White (neutral) White (neutral)

Red (load) None black (load)

Black (hot) Black (hot) None

Green (ground) Green (ground) Green (ground)

Two-Location Scenario—Power Source at Wall Box

NOTE: This device will not function without a neutral AC connection.

To wire the switch and a multi-button keypad in a two-location scenario

(Control4’s 3-way-switch solution) where the power is first routed to the wall

box, do the following:

1. Wire the switch into Wall Box #1 by connecting together and capping with a

wire nut the following wires:

Switch Wires Wires in Wall Box 1

From Power

Source To Light Fixture To Wall Box 2

White (neutral) White (neutral) White (neutral) White (neutral)

Red (load) None Black (load) None

Optional Antenna Extension

In some installation scenarios, it may be desirable to enhance the Switch's wireless (RF)

transmission capabilities. This may be needed to overcome issues such as local

interference from otherdevices, range considerations due to the distance between devices

or the use of metallic faceplates. The Control4 Wireless Switch has been designed with a

wire whip antenna coiled underneath the plastic button that can be extended to

accommodate such scenarios. Instructions for extending the antenna are provided below.

WARNING! To avoid risk of electrical shock that may cause personal injury or

damage to the Switch, this procedure should be performed prior to connecting the

switch at the wall box.

CAUTION! Risk of Equipment Damage. This procedure enables advanced

functionality and should only be performed by a competent trained installer.

1 Remove the plastic button frame by squeezing

the side tabs near the top and bottom of the

button and pulling outward. A small flat-head

screw driver can also be used to assist in

releasing the tabs.

2 Once the button has been removed, detach the

radio board from its connector by gently pulling

away from the switch frame.

3 Slip the end of the antenna out of the radio

board hole and uncoil it, being careful not to

exert undue tension on the wire. Once uncoiled,

thread the antenna wire under the plastic spacer

at the bottom of the radio board.

4 Re-attach the radio card to the switch frame by

carefully aligning the connector and pressing gently. Then

re-attach the button and button frame by aligning the

button frame securement tabs with the appropriate slots on

the switch frame and pushing gently. Ensure that the

antenna is routed through the small notch on the bottom

left-hand side of the button frame provided for this

purpose. Once the button has been re-attached, proceed

with the standard installation procedure for wiring the

switch to the light load and securing it into the wall box, as

described in Step 1 through Step 5 of “Installation

Instructions.”

5 The antenna hasbeen designed to extend well beyond

the faceplate. For optimal performance, it should be

oriented in a vertical plane below the switch. To enable

this without leaving theantenna visible to the end user,

a very small hole should be made in the wall just below

the switch frame and the antenna inserted through the

hole back into the wall. Once the antenna has been

routed into the wall, proceed with standard installation

of the switch sub-plate and faceplate, as described in

Step 6 and Step 7 of “Installation Instructions.”

CAUTION! Risk of Equipment Damage. The

antenna must not be inserted into the junction box containing high voltage wires.

IMPORTANT! Do not shortened or cut the antenna in any way as this may

seriously impair transmission capabilities.
