Installation
1.
Place the Extender in a location that ensures:
•Easy access to an outlet
•ZigBee mesh networking efficiency
NOTE:
Make sure the Extender gets good ZigBee wireless reception by:
•Ensuring it is within 500 feet of another ZigBee device.
•Ensuring the device is not installed by other electrical equipment that may cause interference
with the ZigBee signal (such as some cordless telephones or other devices that operate on the
2.4 GHz frequency).
•Avoiding exposure to extreme environmental conditions.
2.
Add the driver to your project by searching the Composer Online Driver Database. Search Device Type
“other” Manufacturer “Card Access”

If you’d prefer, you can download the ZigBee Extender 3 DriverWorks Driver from the Card
Access web site: www.cardaccess-inc.com/automation/drivers. Copy the Driver to the "Control4
/ Drivers" folder on your PC. (The Control4 Drivers folder should be located under "My
Documents" on your PC.)

Using Composer, make a connectioOnn to Director. Select the System Design Tab to add the
ZigBee Extender 3 Driver. The Driver is found by selecting the Search Tab and then the Local
Database. The device type is "other" and the manufacturer is Card Access.

Power up the Extender using the supplied 5V Power Supply. In Composer, choose Connections and click
the Network Tab. Next click on the unidentified "Card Access ZigBee Extender 3" device. Identify the
Extender in Composer by pressing the clear identification button on the top of the Module four (4) times.
The LED should start flashing yellow. Once the Extender is identified in the system, the LED will turn solid
blue. If identification fails the LED will blink green several times and go back to solid green.

Once the Extender's MAC ID address appears in the Identify dialog box, click "Close" to close the dialog
box.
