Wireless Contact / Relay
Extender Installation Guide
Features
The Wireless Contact/Relay Extender is intended for use as a device you
can control with your Control4
®
system. It is for the user who is looking for
ways to control contact or relay devices in areas away from the main
controller or who is simply looking for additional contacts and/or relays.
When installed, the Contact/Relay Extender is physically connected to up to
four contacts and/or four relays and communicates to the Control4 system
using either an Ethernet connection or a ZigBee (wireless) connection.
The Contact/Relay Extender is designed to sit on a standard rack shelf rather
than be mounted with traditional rack ears. Its approximate dimensions are
6.5” wide (1/2 RU) x 1.5” tall (just under 1 RU) x 7.0” deep and it comes with
a small plastic rack that enables you to store it in a vertical position.
