Connecting an MSA4H/V

LED Feedback

Description

The MSA4H/V is designed to work with the Imperial system’s 
MAMA home automation engine. Each button can be 
programmed to control a single output, multiple outputs, or 
macros. The wall switch can provide on/off control of lights, 
sprinklers or macros, set lights to a fixed dimming level, or 
open motorized shutters to a preset height. 

All wall switches are driven by the V32 Main Controller’s 4 wire 
low-voltage Multibus. This means that the high voltage wiring is 
not connected directly to the switch as in regular electrical 
systems. Since the wall switches use low-voltage bus 
communication, they can be installed anywhere including wet 
areas or outdoors (avoiding direct sunlight, or exposure to rain/
snow). 

Up to 510 wall switches can be programmed to control one 
output, as opposed to a maximum of 3 switches or 1
dimmer knob in regular electrical systems. 

Features

4 buttons to control outputs (lights, sprinklers, shutters, 
etc.) or macros (group of outputs)

Multiple switches can control the same output (max. 510)
