Important Information

• Before starting the installation, please completely read

these installation instructions.

• This control must be installed by a certified electrician.

• Install in accordance with all local and national electrical

codes.

• Turn power OFF at circuit breaker or remove fuse

before installing and wiring the controller. Do not wire
with power ON.

• Operating environment should be between 32° F to

104° F (0° C to 40° C).

• Proper short circuit protection and overload protection

must be provided at the distribution panel. You can use
up to a 20 A breaker for your application, where
applicable.

Description

The WC-2M-GC and WC-4M-GC Group Controllers are
designed to control AC motorized window treatments and
projection screens. Both control single phase, bi-directional
AC motors (three wire motors: open, close, neutral). Two
models are available to control up to two motors (WC-2M-
GC) or up to four motors (WC-4M-GC). Both accept inputs
from controls that provide low-voltage, Class 2, dry contact
closures. Each Group Controller has individual motor
control inputs as well as a master control input. This allows
individual control of each motor or control of all motors at
the same time.
