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 off 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
Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 7 mm from the
wire end.
4
Identify your wiring application, and then see the appropriate wiring diagram
in the “Sample wiring configurations” section below.
5
Connect the switch to the wall box wires as shown in the applicable wiring
diagram. Tighten screw terminals to 4 kg-cm.
6
Fit the wires into the wall box.
7
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
IMPORTANT!
Tighten the screws until the device is flush with the wall
surface, but no further. Overtightening can warp the switch and cause it
to malfunction.
8
Attach the buttons (sold separately) as described in the
Keypad Button
Installation Guide
.
9
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
off.
10
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 before configuring in
Composer Pro or Composer Express:
• Any button in the top half of the keypad will toggle load 1 on and off.
• Any button in the bottom half of the keypad will toggle load 2 on and off.
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.

• Check for proper wiring (see “Sample wiring configurations”). If the Line and
Neutral wires are reversed, the light will be on while the switch is off, and vice
versa.
