Installation and
User Guide
Supported Models and Fixtures
This installation and user guide covers these dimmer models:
LDZ-101-W
Wireless Dimmer (802.15.4)
LDZ-101-B
Wireless Dimmer (802.15.4)
LDZ-101-A
Wireless Dimmer (802.15.4)
This dimmer can operate independently or as a device you can
control with your Control4 system. The dimmer installs in a standard
wall box using typical wiring standards and it communicates to the
Control4 system using a wireless connection.
The dimmer supports:
•
•
•
•
•
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, turn all
power OFF before installing this product. Using this
product in a manner other than outlined in this
document voids your warranty. Further, Control4 is
NOT liable for any damage incurred with the misuse of
this product. See “Limited 1 Year Warranty” on page 6.
This product generates heat. The room must have
adequate ventilation or heat dissipation ability. Do
NOT use this device to control a device with a nondimmable load. You should only use it with devices
that have dimmable feature support.
•
•
•
If installing a
multi-unit dimmer, Do NOT
continue until
you have read
“Multi-Unit
Installations” on
page 2.
Do NOT use
where total wattage is under 25
watts.
Do NOT exceed
maximum load
rating of dimmer
(which is 1000W
for a single unit,
if both side tabs
are in tact).
To avoid injury or death, turn OFF local
electrical power. To turn off the power,
either switch off the circuit breaker or
remove the fuse from fuse box. To ensure
the wires do NOT have power running to
them, use an inductive voltage detector.
Use screwdriver
to remove wall
plate and
existing switch
from wall.
Detach existing dimmer or switch.
WARNING!
120 Volt incandescent (all types)
120 Volt halogen (all types)
120 Volt magnetic low voltage
(all types with 70 percent or greater load factor)
120 Volt electronic low voltage (dimmable only)
120 Volt fluorescent light fixtures (dimmable only)
WARNING!
Install in accordance with all
national and local electrical
codes.
Wall box size required depends
on your wiring. The dimmer alone
needs a depth of 2.5 inches. To
calculate the total depth required,
add 2.5 inches to the amount of
space recommended in the NEC
(National Electric Code) for your
configuration.
The range and performance of
the control system is highly
dependent on the following:
• Distance between devices
• Layout of the home
• Walls separating devices
• Electrical equipment
located near devices
DON’T
As with any appliances, improper use or installation
can cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. Do NOT
attempt the installation if you are NOT sure which
wires are the hot and load wires in the wall box.
Instead, have a trained electrician do the installation.
The existing dimmer or switch is wired in one of three ways:
terminal screws, backwire, or wire nuts.
OR
OR
Terminal Screws:
Backwire:
Wire Nuts:
Use a screwdriver to
unscrew the screws
to release the wire.
Insert screwdriver in
Wire Release slot and
pull out wire. If this does
not work, use a wire
cutter to cut the wire.
Turn to remove
wire nuts from
existing wiring.

IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT:
The National Electric Code (NEC) requires 6 inches of
extended wire from the wall box. If your wiring does
not meet this requirement, you will not meet code. Do
NOT cut wire shorter than 6 inches.
When installing this product in a commercial
application or metal wall box, you might need to
ground it to the wall box.
If you are using
the Control4
snap-on- style
wall plate, snap it
over the dimmer
now.
10
Turn ON power at
the circuit breaker
or replace fuse
from fuse box.
11
Test the dimmer to see if it is working properly. For
details, see “Operation and Configuration” on page 5.
Troubleshooting
If light does not turn on:
•
•
•
•
Ensure light bulb is not burned out.
Ensure light bulb is screwed in tightly.
Ensure circuit breaker is not turned OFF or tripped.
Check for proper wiring (see the subsections beginning on page 3).
Multi-Unit Installations
Connect the dimmer wires
to the wall box wires using
wire nuts. Wall box wires
can differ depending upon
how the box was wired by
your electrician and where
the power source comes
from—the light fixture or the
wall box. Refer to the
following four sections
(beginning on page 3):
•
•
•
•
Prepare and identify all wires. Identify the wires in your
wall box. Straighten the wire ends. With a wire cutter, cut off
the bare wire just below the plastic insulation on all wires.
Use a wire stripper to strip off about 3/8-inch of the
insulation.
Multi-unit installations allow you to install one stand-alone dimmer
next to another in the same wall box.
Remove Inner Sides
When using multiple units in a wall box, you must remove the inner
sides, leaving the outer sides in place. Use pliers to bend a tab
back and forth until it comes off. Remove only the sides that will touch
another dimmer. Do not remove sides that will become outer sides.
“Single-Switch Environment—Power Source at Wall Box”
“Single-Switch Environment—Power Source at Light Fixture”
“3-Way-Switch Environment—Power Source at Wall Box”
“3-Way-Switch Environment—Power Source at Light Fixture”
Fit wires back into the wall box. Bend the
wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily
fold into the wall box. Push the dimmer into
place. Adjust the dimmer so that it is
perpendicular to the floor. Tighten the two
screws that hold it in position in the wall box.
Resulting Capacity
•
•
•
With both sides intact (single unit), the capacity is 1000W maximum.
If you remove one side, the capacity is reduced to 800W maximum.
If you remove two sides, the capacity is reduced to 600W maximum.
Align dimmer to wall box and
fasten with screws, unless
you are using a Decora screwon-style wall plate. If you are
using a screw-on-style wall
plate, before fastening with
screws, you must first align the
wall plate with the dimmer and
the wall box.
