Enable Automation Events for High-Voltage Systems in the Control4® Automated Home
Introduction
The Card Access™ InHome™ Heavy-Duty Power Controller (HPC10A) is a wirelessly controlled power controller
specifically designed for use with the Control4® home automation system and is Control4 Certified. This gives the
Control4-automated homeowners the ability to turn high-voltage items on or off based on the time of day, and even
operate them from a remote location with Control4’s 4Sight™ service.
The InHome Heavy-Duty Power Controller can also be operated independent of the home automation system by ‘hardwiring’ in switches and controls in Stand-Alone configuration.
The device consists of two high voltage 100-240VAC 30 Amp relays that can be independently configured to control the
following types of loads:
•
•
•
motors
resistive loads
ballast type loads
in residential or commercial applications. The control and configuration of these relays can occur through the Control4
Composer application (Control4 Operating Mode), or directly on the device, (Stand-Alone Operating Mode).
Control4 Operating Mode:
To operate in Control4 mode the device must be identified into the project. This is done by tapping of the ID button (the
method common to other devices in Control4 projects.)
Once the device is identified, its four contact inputs and two independently controlled high-voltage relays are available to
the project for configuration and control.
Device control is accomplished through one of three methods:
•
•
•
Through an IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee-based wireless radio signal
Through the four local switch inputs
Through a combination of both methods
Using both methods provides for failsafe independent operation.
The InHome Heavy-Duty Power Controller’s Control4 driver supports complete device configuration and operation through
user selectable options. The device utilizes Control4’s proxies for control of blind motors, lifts, screens, gate motors,
fountain and pool pump motors, lighting loads, and appliance loads, etc.
The device also includes several easy-to-use diagnostic modes to help installers set the device up for proper operation.
Stand-Alone Operating Mode:
In Stand-Alone Operating Mode, the device uses the four dry contact closure inputs to control the two high-voltage power
relays in a one (1), two (2), or 3 button control configuration. This allows for a wide variation of configurations and
homeowner operation.
The InHome Heavy-Duty Power Controller’s onboard switches enable ease of setup, easy diagnostic test, and easy
troubleshooting for installers. LEDs indicate relay status and radio functionality. A relay disable switch is provided to
allow functional test by the installer without sending power to connected high-power devices, allowing easy testing of the
system.
The InHome Heavy-Duty Power Controller is powered by one of two methods:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Connecting a 100-240VAC line power to the High Voltage terminals of the device
2. Connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power inputs of the Low Voltage terminal connector
No power jumpers or setting are required just connect one or the other (line power or external DC power supply in).
The device is designed to be permanently mounted in a fixed location. Power cables can be connected to the device
using conduit or by connecting flexible power lines to the device with feed through cable clamps.

Normal (Independent Relay) Mode:
o In Normal Mode the relays do just what you tell them to do without regard to anything else that may be
involved. They act completely independent of each other. The 4 inputs can be wired to different types of
closure devices and are set up to control the individual relays in following configurations:
ƒ Two button, Latched (Dip switch setting OFF OFF OFF ON) Hooking up a toggle switch between
inputs 1 and 2 will open and close relay A as you switch between one side or the other of the
toggle switch. Hooking a toggle switch between inputs 3 and 4 will open and close relay B.
Latched refers to the switch stays in that position until moved by the user.
ƒ 1 Button, Momentary. This allows the user to wire up a momentary pushbutton switch to control
the relays as described in the table
ƒ 1 Button, Toggle. This allows the user to wire up a single switch, usually a momentary contact
switch and then to toggle through the relay conditions defined in the table as the switch closure is
activated.

1 Button: Toggle Relay A, Momentary Relay B. This gives the user the option of having 1 relay
controlled by a toggle switch and the other relay controlled by a momentary pushbutton switch
o The reason that it is labeled Normal Mode is to indicate the individual nature of the relay operation. The
user can do whatever they want with the switch inputs and the relays will follow according to the Type of
switch connected to the input. No relay protection, relay timing or any other specialized relay operation is
added
Linked Mode (Motor Control)
o This mode is used for controlling motors that do not have built in motor controllers. Many motors
assemblies already have a built in motor controller that governs operation. If your motor assembly has a
built in motor controller we recommend using Normal mode to control your motor assembly. If your
application does not have a built in motor controller you can use this mode to control your motor. In
linked mode the two relays operate such that both relays cannot be activated at the same time. This
protects the motor assembly from being energized to operate in opposing directions. The relays are also
governed by a “motor travel time” values which allows the motor to be turned off, after initial activation, in
a preset amount of time. Typical applications for Linked Mode – Motor Control use are: Gate open/close
control, Screen up/down control, Blinds open/closed control, or other applications that require two motor
direction operations without a built in motor controller.
ƒ 1 button, Toggle mode. This mode links the two relays together not allowing one relay to close
while the other is closed and visa versa. (both relays cannot be closed at the same time) A
single button can control the direction of a motor. Press once and relay A closes – (screen
comes down until the motor travel time is reached). Press again and both relays open – (screen
stops). Press again and relay B closes – (screen goes up until motor travel time is reached).
Press again and screen stops. Press again and the cycle repeats.
ƒ 2 button momentary – as described in the table
ƒ 3 button latched – as described in the table
ƒ Delay Learning Mode. This mode allows you to set or change the Maximum Motor Travel time
limit. The Default time limit is set to 15 seconds. A new time limit can be stored by the user, and
once stored, is then used in all future Linked (Motor Control) Mode operations. The user sets this
time by pressing and holding the Input 1 Switch for the desired time delay. This is accomplished
as follows: Upon pressing Input 1, Relay “A” closes and the LED will turn yellow and will begin
blinking at a 1 second rate (screen is going down). When the Input 1 button is released, Relay
“A” opens and the LED turns to red (screen stops) and the delay time is temporarily saved. The
time is then permanently stored in the device by pressing and holding the ID button for 4
seconds. Holding the ID button for 4 seconds will cause the LED to flash yellow 3 times
indicating that a new default time value has been permanently stored in the device. The
Maximum Motor Travel time is limited to 255 seconds. The user can now switch to any other
Linked (Motor Control) Mode dip switch setting and the newly saved time will be applied to all
relay operations. The user can disable the Maximum Motor Travel time limit (setting value to
zero) by pressing and holding the ID button without previously activating any relay (not pressing
and holding Input Switch 1). Pressing and holding the ID button for 4 seconds two times in a row
will set the Maximum Motor Travel time limit to zero and disable all timed operations.
Linked (Simulated SPDT) Mode
o This mode allows the user to link the two SPST relays together in order to simulate a single SPDT relay.
Essentially what this means is that when relay A is open relay B will always be shut and when relay B is
open relay A will always be shut. This mode will operate in SPDT mode as long as the device has
power. If power is lost the relays will default to the normally open position.
Software Installation Instructions
Step Seven Add the InHome Heavy-Duty Power Controller to your Composer project. When prompted to identify the unit,
press the ID button, located on the PC board, four times. The InHome Wireless Contact Relay LED will blink the green
LED twice to confirm the ID has been sent to the Control4 system. To set up the 2 relay outputs and the 4 contact inputs
in the Composer project, refer to your system setup documentation.
Step Eight (Optional) Configure advanced properties.

• The two SPST relays can optionally be linked to simulate a single SPDT relay by selecting the option box in the InHome
Wireless Contact Relay’s properties page.
IMPORTANT! Unlike a true SPDT relay, both relays will open during a power failure.
• If you use the InHome Heavy-Duty Power Controller’s temperature sensing capabilities, you may need to enter a
temperature offset into the InHome Heavy-Duty Power Controller’s properties page in order to accommodate for variances
in thermistors. (When multiple temperature sensors are located in the same room, you may notice each sensor shows a
slightly different reading. This results from normal manufacturing variances in temperature sensors.) A correction can be
entered so the product’s reported temperatures match those reported by other devices.
Step Nine The InHome Heavy-Duty Power Controller provides diagnostics to aid proper installation. Sliding the relay
switch to the disable position to disconnect the relays from being energized. This allows diagnostsic operational testing
without engaging the power devices connected to the relays. Once you have validated device operation do a full check by
engaging the actual devices that are being controlled.
You can also check radio operation by entering Radio Test mode. To enter test mode push and hold the ID button for
one-half second.  To exit Test Mode, simply allow the Test Mode to time out (approximately
five minutes)—the unit will continue to function correctly while still in Test Mode. This is the recommended procedure. You
may also exit Test Mode early by removing all power sources from the unit for at least 10 seconds.
