Align the five (5) holes and use the security
screws provided to attach the Door Station to
the back box.

To prevent dust from getting inside the Door
Station, make sure the rubber gasket on the
inside panel of the Door Station completely
covers and seals the Door Station’s faceplate
against the back box.

bottom to secure it.

WiFi Antennas (Optional)
NOTE
:
Control4 does not recommend to install
the Door Station using WiFi. The best option is
to use Ethernet.
Two (2) types of WiFi antenna kits are available for
purchase: 26cm (dipole, best performance) or 3m
(when you need to install the wire further away from
the Door Station for a better WiFi signal).
• Antenna Kit—WiFi/ZigBee 2.4GHz, 26cm
(C4-
AK-26cm, sold separately). Recommended for
walls that do not have thick concrete or metal.
See Figure 9 and “WiFi Antenna Kit Installation”
for details.
• Antenna Kit—WiFi/ZigBee 2.4GHz, 3m
(C4-AK-
3M, sold separately). Extend the range when
walls have thick concrete or metal. See Figure 10
and “WiFi Antenna Kit Installation” for details.
