Placement and Model Options
The Control4 Mini Touch Screen offers complete system control in an elegant
and compact design. The Mini Touch Screen is equipped with the touch screen,
an intuitive Select Dial, and a unique programmable shortcut button.
Placement
Place the Mini Touch Screen in a convenient location at eye level, typically near
the entrace of the room, approximately 57 to 61 inches from the floor.
The model used also influences placement. The Mini Touch Screen comes in
two models: Ethernet and WiFi. These options are described in the next two
sections.
Option 1: Ethernet Model
The Ethernet Mini Touch Screen requires a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device
that injects electrical current into the Ethernet cable in order to provide the
Ethernet Mini Touch Screen with both power and a network connection. See
Figure 1. The Ethernet Mini Touch Screen works with the Control4 Power Over
Ethernet Injector (model # AC-POE1-B) or a third-party PoE injector or switch.
If you plan to use a third-party PoE solution or a non-standard connection
cable, refer to “Power Interface Requirements” (back page) for the
specifications.
Ethernet Placement: Place the PoE Injector near your gateway/router/switch.
Pull the Ethernet cable from that location to the location of where you want to
place your Mini Touch Screen.
FIGURE 1. Ethernet Model - Requires Ethernet Wiring to Mini Touch Screen.
Option 2: WiFi Model
The WiFi Mini Touch Screen differs from the Ethernet model in two ways:
•It uses a WiFi antenna that communicates via WiFi to a Wireless
Access Point.
•It gets its power from an AC power source close to the Mini Touch
Screen. This power connection requires both neutral and hot connec-
tions. See Figure 2.
WiFi Placement: Place the WiFi Model above a power source, such as at an
outlet. Ensure you have WiFi in the home.
FIGURE 2. WiFi Model - Requires AC power to Mini Touch Screen.
Wall Box Kit Options
There are four wall box options to install the Mini Touch Screen. Metal and
plastic wall boxes are available for new or retrofit versions. The following
diagrams show the available wall mounting kits.

Wall-Mounted Installation
WARNING! For the location where you are installing the Mini
Touch Screen, switch off the circuit breaker or remove the fuse
from the fuse box.
IMPORTANT! For new or retrofit, when cutting the opening for
the wall box, DO NOT cut the opening too large. Be conservative and cautiously
enlarge it as needed because there is not as much overhang on the faceplate of
the Mini Touch Screen as you are accustomed to with standard switch and outlet
plates.
IMPORTANT! Before you can complete the installation instructions for the Mini
Touch Screen, you must have a Control4 Mini Touch Screen\LCD Keypad Wall
Box installed according to the documentation provided in the wall box kit.
NOTE: These installation instructions do not apply to Table-Top Box installations.
For Table-Top Box installations, refer to the installation documentation that ships
with the table-top box kit.
1 Prepare wall for installation.
For Ethernet Model: Install a PoE injector or switch. To do this:
a. Connect the Control4 PoE Injector to a power source,
such as an AC outlet, using the power cord (provided
with the unit). The light comes on when power is
applied.
b. Connect one of the RJ-45 LAN ports on the gateway/
router/switch to the PoE Injector’s LAN port using the RJ-45 ethernet
cable. The STAND BY light on the PoE Injector lights up.
c. Connect the PoE Injector’s PWR LAN-OUT port to the Ethernet Mini
Touch Screen using the RJ-45 ethernet cable in the wall. The Power
mode LED will change from orange to green.
For Wireless Model: Connect wires to AC Power Source for Wireless
Model. To do this:
a. Connect the black (hot) and white (neutral) wires from the back of
the Mini Touch Screen to the hot and neutral wires from the wall.
b. Cap the ground wire from the wall if you are using a plastic wall box.
If you are using a metal wall box, attach the ground wire to the box at
the location designated by the ground symbol.
2 (Optional) If you intend to send audio to an amplifier or amplified
speakers, route a stereo RCA cable from your Mini Touch Screen audio
out ports (RCA red and white connectors) to your amplifier or amplified
speakers.
3 With the screws provided, attach the
Mini Touch Screen base at the top-left
and bottom-right corners of the wall box
(as shown).
4 Hook the tabs on the left underside of
the faceplate onto the lip of the base on
the left-hand side. Then close the
faceplate over the top of the base from
left to right, feeding the Select-Dial post through the corresponding hole in
the faceplate.
5 Install the washer and the nut to hold the faceplate in place.
IMPORTANT! Tighten the nut by hand. Do not overtighten. Excessive force will
permanently damage the rotary device and void the warranty.
6 Install the Select Dial on the post.
TIP: You need to calibrate your Mini Touch Screen: the first time you use it or any
time the system requests it. When the device needs calibration, the on-screen
instruction will prompt you to calibrate the device. To do this, use your fingertip to
touch the screen firmly and accurately at the point indicated by the crosshairs.
Repeat for each of the four subsequent points indicated by the crosshairs
NOTE: To protect the display screen of your device: (1) Use one of the screen-
saver options available from the Info > Config > Screen Saver page; (2) Use a
plastic (cling-on) screen protector (available where hand-held electronic devices
are sold) to help guard against scratches.
7 (For WiFi Model only) From the WiFi Mini Touch Screen, connect to a
wireless access point:
a. Press Info > Wireless > Wireless. The Wireless configuration
screen appears.
b. Press Add to add the WiFi Mini Touch Screen as a wireless device.
c. Press in the Network (SSID) text box
to enter the SSID. A virtual keypad
displays for you to enter the
information.
d. Press the WEP button, then enter the
WEP key in hex in the text box. A
virtual keypad displays for you to enter
the information. Press OK when
finished.
e. Highlight the SSID of the WiFi Mini Touch Screen and press Enable.
f. Press OK.
8 Now that your Mini Touch Screen is physically installed and appearing on
the home network, you can add it to the Control4 System using the
Composer software (available for your PC). See Composer online help for
information on how to add the Mini Touch Screen and other devices to the
Control4 System.
Power Interface Requirements - Ethernet
Ethernet Models
Only: If you plan to
use any other PoE
solutions besides
the Control4 PoE
Injector, such as a
third-party injector
or PoE switch, then
refer to the
Ethernet Mini
Touch Power
Interface diagram
to determine how
to create a PoE
solution and
cabling to meet the
power and
connection
requirements for
Mini Touch Screen.
Troubleshooting
If you experience operational problems with the Control4 Mini Touch Screen,
check the following list for system troubleshooting. If problems persist, contact
your authorized Control4 dealer for technical support.
Question: What if the on-screen display that reads “Welcome to Navigator” won’t go
away?
Answer: If screen also has text that reads “Touch the crosshairs firmly...,” then you
need to calibrate the device as described in the installation instructions.
Question: What if my Mini Touch Screen locks up or runs slowly?
Answer: Try rebooting by holding down the Select Dial for ten seconds. Reset the
system by cutting and restoring power: for Ethernet model, disconnect and reconnect
the PoE connector at the network gateway, router or switch.
Question: What if my Mini Touch Screen is damaged?
Answer: Contact your Control4-authorized reseller.
Question: What if I have network connection problems?
Answer: Make sure the network cable connectors are firmly locked into the network
jack. See Composer online topic: “Guidelines for Setting up a Wired or Wireless
Network.”
Question: What if my Mini Touch Screen is unresponsive to the touch?
Answer 1: The nut under the Select Dial may be too tight. This can cause the
faceplate to press against the overlay causing a false “press and hold” and renders
the touch overlay inoperable. To fix this, loosen nut until proper operation is restored.
Answer 2: The Mini Touch Screen may need to be recalibrated. Call technical support
for further information on this procedure.
