Wire insulation should be stripped back 5/8 of an inch from the wire end (as shown).4 Connect the switch wires to the wall box wires using wire nuts according to the relevant wiring diagram. See “Sample Wiring Configurations.” 5 Mount Switch into wall box by partially securing the wall box screws attached to the switch. Ensure that the word "Top" on the switch frame is facing up. Bend wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily fold into the wall box. WARNING! Ground the Wireless Switch in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) requirements. Although the switch's aluminum yoke plate and green ground wire are directly bonded together inside the switch, DO NOT rely solely upon the yoke plate's contact with a metal wall box for adequate grounding. Use the switch'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 lightning, and void the warranty.6 If you are using the Control4 push-on (screw-less) wall plate that shipped with your switch:a. For a single-gang scenario, attach the black plastic sub-plate using the provided sub-plate screws.IMPORTANT! Tighten the screws until the back side of the metal yoke plate is even with the wall surface, but no farther. Over-tightening can damage the switch and cause mechanical malfunction. Do NOT use a power screw driver to install this device as this may lead to over-tightening.b. If you are installing in a multi-gang scenario, only partially tighten the mounting screws, leaving about 1/8 of an inch gap between the wall and the yoke plates prior to attaching the black plastic sub-plate. This allows each device in a multi-gang scenario to conform to the sub-plate, creating a single assembly. Secure the multi-gang sub-plate to all devices using the provided sub-plate screws. Then secure the assembly by tightening the wall box screws the remaining 1/8 of an inch. Do not over-tighten any of the screws or you will misalign the flat plane of the multi-gang wall plate.c. With the wall plate's removal slot facing down, push the wall plate onto the switch's black plastic sub-plate.7 If you are using a Decora-style screw-on wall plate:a. Do not attach the switch's black plastic sub-plateb. Align the switch to the wall box and fasten with screws.c. Fasten the wall plate to the switch with screws.8 Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or replace fuse from fuse box.9 Test the switch to see if it is working properly.

Optional Antenna ExtensionIn some installation scenarios, it may be desirable to enhance the Switch's wireless (RF) transmission capabilities. This may be needed to overcome issues such as local interference from other devices, range considerations due to the distance between devices or the use of metallic faceplates. The Control4 Wireless Switch has been designed with a wire whip antenna coiled underneath the plastic button that can be extended to accommodate such scenarios. Instructions for extending the antenna are provided below.WARNING! To avoid risk of electrical shock that may cause personal injury or damage to the Switch, this procedure should be performed prior to connecting the switch at the wall box.CAUTION! Risk of Equipment Damage. This procedure enables advanced functionality and should only be performed by a competent trained installer.1 Remove the plastic button frame by squeezing the side tabs near the top and bottom of the button and pulling outward. A small flat-head screw driver can also be used to assist in releasing the tabs.2 Once the button has been removed, detach the radio board from its connector by gently pulling away from the switch frame.3 Slip the end of the antenna out of the radio board hole and uncoil it, being careful not to exert undue tension on the wire. Once uncoiled, thread the antenna wire under the plastic spacer at the bottom of the radio board.4 Re-attach the radio card to the switch frame by carefully aligning the connector and pressing gently. Then re-attach the button and button frame by aligning the button frame securement tabs with the appropriate slots on the switch frame and pushing gently. Ensure that the antenna is routed through the small notch on the bottom left-hand side of the button frame provided for this purpose. Once the button has been re-attached, proceed with the standard installation procedure for wiring the switch to the light load and securing it into the wall box, as described in Step 1 through Step 5 of “Installation Instructions.”5 The antenna has been designed to extend well beyond the faceplate. For optimal performance, it should be oriented in a vertical plane below the switch. To enable this without leaving the antenna visible to the end user, a very small hole should be made in the wall just below the switch frame and the antenna inserted through the hole back into the wall. Once the antenna has been routed into the wall, proceed with standard installation of the switch sub-plate and faceplate, as described in Step 6 and Step 7 of “Installation Instructions.”CAUTION! Risk of Equipment Damage. The antenna must not be inserted into the junction box containing high voltage wires.IMPORTANT! Do not shortened or cut the antenna in any way as this may seriously impair transmission capabilities.TroubleshootingIf light does not turn on:•Ensure at least one LED on the face of the switch is lit.•Ensure the light bulb is not burned out and is screwed in tightly.•Ensure circuit breaker is not turned OFF or tripped.•Check for proper wiring (see the “”section).•For help on the installation or operation of this product, email or call the Control4 Technical Support Center.
