The Control4® CA-1 Control and Automation Controller enables control of lights,
security systems, sensors, door locks, and other devices controlled by IP, ZigBee,
Z-Wave®, or serial connections. The controller has a fast processor, external
antennas for WiFi and ZigBee radios, an internal slot for a Z-Wave module (sold
spearately), and can be powered by PoE. This controller is perfect for home,
apartments, and other installations that do not require IR control or audio
streaming.

On-wall—The controller can be mounted to the wall using screws. Remove
the rubber feet, measure the distance between them, and insert 2 screws into
the wall so that the heads are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the wall. Position
the holes on the back of the controller over the screw heads and slide the
controller onto the screws.

In-wall—The controller can be mounted in the wall, behind a TV or other
equipment for a discreet installation. The Control4 Multi-Purpose In-Wall Box
is sold separately and is designed for use with the CA-1 and other Control4
equipment. See the Multi-Purpose In-Wall Box Installation Guide (ctrl4.co/

Introduction
Box contents
Important: The serial port pinout follows the EIA/TIA-561 serial wiring
standard. Standard Cat5/Cat6 Ethernet cabling (EIA/TIA-568) would
result in split D+ and D- data pairs, causing reduced performance in
RS-485/RS-422 applications. Use the wiring shown in the diagrams
below.
Network connection used for configuration and device control. Supports PoE.
Miscellaneous
32˚ - 104˚ F (0˚ - 40˚ C)
After you install and configure the controller with other Control4 devices, your
customers can control their system using the Control4 apps, system remote
controls, touch screens, or other Control4-supported interface devices (sold
separately).
Connecting the serial port (optional)
B Z-Wave port—Removable plastic cover on top of the controller with a Z-Wave
port underneath for a Control4 Z-Wave module.
•
Ethernet—To connect using an Ethernet connection, plug the data cable
from the home network connection into the controller’s RJ-45 port
(labeled “Ethernet”) and the network port on the wall or at the network
switch.
•
WiFi—To connect using WiFi, first connect the unit to Ethernet, attach
the WiFi antenna to the controller, and then use Composer Pro System
Manager to reconfigure the unit for WiFi.

Installing a Z-Wave module (optional)
An optional Z-Wave module can be added to the Z-Wave port on top of the
controller. Z-Wave Modules are specific to your region. See the Z-Wave Setup
Guide for software configuration and more information (ctrl4.co/z-wave-sg)
To install the a Z-Wave module into the controller:
2 Press and hold the RESET button, the controller will reset and the Status LED
will go solid red.
3 Hold the button until the LED blinks double yellow. This should take five to
seven seconds. The LED will blink yellow while the factory restore is running.
When complete, the LED will turn off and the device will reset to complete
the factory restore process.
Important: Power off the controller before you install the Z-Wave Module.
Power cycle the controller
1 Using a small flathead screwdriver, remove the small plastic cover on top of
the Z-Wave module.
Press and hold the ID button for five seconds. The controller will restart.
Reset the network settings
To reset the controller network settings to the default, follow these steps:
1 Disconnect power to the controller.
2 While pressing and holding the ID button on the back of the controller,
power on the controller.

Note: We support only externally-powered USB drives or solid state
USB sticks. USB-powered external hard drives are not supported.
Note: When using USB storage devices with the CA-1 controller you can
only use one partition with a 2TB maximum size. This limitation applies
to USB storage devices with all other controllers also.

Regulatory/Safety information
To review regulatory information for your particular Control4 products, see the
information located on the Control4 website at ctrl4.co/reg.
Composer Pro driver information
Use Auto Discovery and SDDP to add the driver to the Composer project. See the
Composer Pro User Guide for details.
Note: A CA-1 controller may only run as Director in a single-controller
project. CA-1 controllers may be used as secondary controllers in
projects with other controllers that can be a Director in a multiplecontroller project.
Warranty
Visit ctrl4.co/warranty for details.
MOST RECENT VERSION
MORE INFO ON CA CONTROLLERS
Note: The CA-1 controller requires OS 2.10.0 or higher.
Connecting Z-Wave and ZigBee devices
All software configuration including connecting ZigBee and Z-Wave devices is
done with Composer Pro. See the Composer Pro User Guide for more information.
Troubleshooting
Reset to factory settings
Caution! The factory reset process will remove the Composer project.
To restore the controller to the factory default image, perform the following
steps:
1 Insert one end of a paper clip into the small hole on the back of the
controller labeled RESET.
