Installation and
User Guide
Supported Models and Fixtures
This installation and user guide covers these switch models:
LSZ-101-W Wireless Switch (802.15.4)
LSZ-101-B Wireless Switch (802.15.4)
LSZ-101-A Wireless Switch (802.15.4)
This switch can operate independently or as a device you can control with your
Control4® system. The switch installs in a standard wall box using typical wiring
standards and it communicates to the Control4 system using a wireless
connection. The switch supports:
•120 Volt incandescent (all types)
•120 Volt halogen (all types)
•120 Volt magnetic low voltage (all types with 70 percent or greater load factor)
Installation Instructions
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
• Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
• Wall box size required depends on your wiring. 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 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.
• If installing a dimmer in a multi-unit installation, DO NOT continue until you
have read the “Multi-Unit Installations” section.
• DO NOT use where total wattage of the load is under 25 watts.
• DO NOT exceed maximum load rating of dimmer (which is 1000W for a
single unit, if both side tabs are intact).
2 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.
3 Use screwdriver to remove
wall plate and existing
switch from wall.
4 Detach existing switch or dimmer.
The existing switch or dimmer is wired in one of three ways:
terminal screws, backwire, or wire nuts.
5 Identify the wires in your
wall box. Straighten the
wire ends. With a wire
cutter, cut off the bare
wire just below the
insulation on all wires.
Use a wire stripper to strip
off the installation leaving
about 3/8-inch of bare
wire (as shown).
6 Connect the switch 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—either the
light fixture or the wall box. Refer to the
“Sample Wiring Configurations” section.
7 Fit wires back into the wall box.
Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so
that they easily fold into the wall box.
8 If you are using a Decora-style
screw-on wall plate:
a. Remove the switch’s black
plastic sub-plate (located
directly behind the screws) and
store it for future use (in case
you later change wall plates).
b. Align the dimmer to the wall
box and fasten with screws.
c. Fasten the wall plate to the
dimmer with screws.
9 If you are using the
Control4 snap-on wall
plate that shipped with
your switch:
a. Align the switch to the
wall box and fasten it
with screws
b. Snap the wall plate
onto the dimmer.
10 Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or
replace fuse from fuse box.
11 Test the switch to see if it is working properly.
See “Operation and Configuration” for specific
instructions.
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 “Sample Wiring Configurations” section).
Limited 1-Year Warranty
This device has a limited one (1) year warranty on parts from the date of
purchase. Control4 will replace or repair any defective unit. Return unit to the
place of purchase for replacement. For any damages incurred, the warranty will
never exceed the purchase price of the device. This warranty does not cover
installation, removal, or reinstallation cost. The warranty is not valid in cases
where damage incurred due to misuse, abuse, incorrect repair, or improper
wiring or installation. It does not cover incidental or consequential damage.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you might also be entitled to
other rights that vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
conseqential damages. In these cases, the above mentioned limitations might
not apply to you. For complete warranty information, see www.Control4.com.To
automatically receive notification of upgrades, return the enclosed registration
card or register online at www.Control4.com.
Multi-Unit Installations
Multi-unit installations allow you to install one stand-alone switch next to
another in the same wall box.
Remove Inner-Side Breakaway Tabs
When doing a multi-unit installation, you must remove ONLY the breakaway
tabs on the one switch side that will be adjacent to another switch side
(otherwise the tabs on the 2 sides will collide). DO NOT remove tabs on
any side that will become the outer side of a group of switches. Use pliers to
bend a tab back and forth until it comes off.
Resulting Capacity Depends on Side Tab Status
•With both sides’ breakaway tabs intact, the capacity is 1000W maximum.
•If you remove 1 side’s tabs, the capacity is reduced to 800W maximum.
•If you remove 2 sides’ tabs, the capacity is reduced to 600W maximum.

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.
(Refer to the Wiring Configurations section of this
document. Note: These are not the only wiring scenarios
you may encounter.) If you are not sure which wires are
