Installation Instructions
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
• When replacing a traditional 3-way switch, refer to the “Two-Location”
sample wiring configurations provided in the appropriate load control device
installation guide.
• Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
• The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly
dependent on the following: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout of the
home; (3) walls separating devices; and (4) electrical equipment located near
devices.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH,
turn OFF local electrical power before installing this product.
2 Turn o the local electrical power by either switching o the circuit breaker or
removing the fuse from the fuse box. To ensure the wires do NOT have power
running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.
WARNING! As with any electrical device, improper use or installation can
cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. It is important that you understand the
particular wiring configuration of your installation before proceeding.
NOTE: The wallbox wiring shown in this document is an example. Your
wire colors and functions may dier. If you are not sure which wires are
the Hot, Neutral, and Ground wires, have a trained electrician do the
installation.
3 Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 5/8 of an inch
from the wire end (see Figure 1).

Installation Guide
Figure 1. Strip Wire Insulation
WARNING! Ground the keypad in accordance with the National Electric
Code (NEC) requirements. DO NOT rely solely upon the yoke plate’s
contact with a metal wallbox for adequate grounding. Use the keypad’s
ground wire to make a secure connection to the safety ground of the
electrical system.
IMPORTANT! Not grounding this product according to the preceding
may result in an installation less immune to damage caused by electrical
disturbances, such as ESD or lightning, and may void the warranty.
4 Identify and connect the keypad wires to the wallbox wires using the wire
nuts.
NOTE: Wallbox wires can dier depending upon how the box was wired
by your electrician.
5 To wire the keypad, connect and cap the wires with a wire nut as indicated in
the following figure and table.

6 Fit the wires back into the wallbox. Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so that
they easily fold into the wallbox (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Bend the Wires
7 If you are using a Control4 push-on (screwless) wall plate:
a. Align the keypad to the wallbox (the model # label should be at the
bottom) and fasten it with screws. Tighten the screws until the back
side of the yoke plate is even with the wall surface, but no further.
Overtightening can warp the configurable keypad and cause
mechanical malfunction.
TIP: In multi-gang installations, leave the screws that attach the keypad
to the wallbox slightly loose until the faceplate’s sub-plate is attached
to all the devices. This allows all devices in the multi-gang box to be
aligned before securing them to the wallbox. See the Control4 Faceplate
Installation Guide for details.
b. Install the Top Actuator Bar, Bottom Sensor Bar, and Button Keycaps
following the instructions in the “Keycap Installation” section below.
c. Install the Control4 Faceplate following the instructions in the
Faceplate Installation Guide.
8 If you are using a Decora-style screw-on wall plate:
a. Align the keypad to the wallbox and fasten it with screws.
b. Tighten the screws until the back side of the yoke plate is even with
the wall surface but no further. Overtightening can warp the keypad
and cause mechanical malfunction.
c. Install the Top Actuator Bar, Bottom Sensor Bar, and Button Keycaps
following the instructions in the “Keycap Installation” section below.
d. Fasten the faceplate to the keypad with screws.
9 Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or replace the fuse
from the fuse box.
10 Ensure that all LEDs on the front are lit.
Keycap Installation
WARNING! To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, turn OFF
the local electrical power before installing, removing, or replacing the
keycaps.
To install the keycaps:
1 Turn o the local electrical power.
2 If previously installed, remove the faceplate and sub-plate from the keypad.
3 Snap the Top Actuator Bar onto the top of the keypad.
4 Snap the Bottom Sensor Bar onto the keypad.
5 Snap the Button Keycaps onto the keypad in the desired configuration.
6 To remove the Top Actuator Bar, Bottom Sensor Bar, or Button Keycaps,
simply grip the bar or keycap lightly from the right and left sides and pull out.
DO NOT pry it o with a screwdriver.
Operation and Configuration
On initial power up, all LEDs on the keypad will illuminate green indicating that the
device has power. Until the keypad has been configured into a Control4 system,
it will not control any loads. To set up this keypad for use with a Control4 system,
refer to the Composer Pro User Guide.
