The controller requires a network connection—Ethernet (recommended) or WiFi—to use all of the features as designed. When connected, the controller can access web-based media databases, communicate with other IP devices in the home, and access Control4 system updates.2 Mount the controller behind a TV, on a wall, placed in a rack, or stacked on a shelf. See “Mounting the controller behind a TV or on the wall” below if mounting the controller on a wall or behind a TV.3 Attach antennas to the WIFI and ZIGBEE antenna connectors and for an EA-3 V2 controller, connect the optional WiFi USB Adapter to the USB port if WiFi connectivity is needed. 4 Connect the controller to the network.• Ethernet—To connect using an Ethernet connection, plug the datacable from the home network connection into the controller’s RJ-45 port (labeled “ETHERNET/POE”) and the network port on thewall or at the network switch. An additional Ethernet-connecteddevice can be connected to the Ethernet Out RJ-45 port.Note: If using PoE+ to power the controller, make all connections prior to plugging in the PoE injector or switch.• WiFi—To connect using WiFi, first connect the controller toEthernet, and then use Composer Pro System Manager toreconfigure the controller for WiFi.Important: Do not install your EA controller on a 172.18.xxx.xxx subnet.5 Connect system devices such as IR and serial devices as described in “Connect the IR ports/serial ports” and “Set up IR emitters.”6 Set up any external storage devices as described in “Setting up external storage devices” in this document.7 Connect the power cord to the controller’s power port and then into an electrical outlet, or for a PoE connection, power on the PoE+-enabled network switch or PoE+ injector. Mounting the controller behind a TV or on the wallUsing the optional Wall-Mount Bracket (C4-WMEA3), the EA-3 can easily be mounted behind a TV, on the wall using a 1- or 2-gang wall box, or mounted directly on the wall. See the EA-3 Wall-Mount Bracket Installation Guide (ctrl4.co/ea-wmb) for details.Pluggable terminal block connectorsFor the contact and relay ports, the EA-3 makes use of terminal block connectors which are removable plastic parts that screw down to secure individual wires (included).To connect a device to the terminal block:1 Insert one of the wires required for your device into the appropriate opening in the pluggable terminal block you reserved for that device (see Figure 3).2 Insert the wire into the appropriate terminal connection and use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screw and secure the wire.Example: If you add a motion sensor (see Figure 5), connect its wires to the following contact openings:Power input to +12VOutput signal to SIGGround connector to GNDTip: To connect a dry contact closure device, such as a doorbell button, connect the wires from the button to +12V (Power) and SIG (Signal).Control4 EA-3 ControllerInstallation GuideAdditional resourcesThe following resources are available for more support.• Control4 Knowledgebase: kb.control4.com and Dealer Forums:forums.control4.com• Control4 Technical Support• Control4 website: www.control4.com• Composer Pro documentation in online help or PDF format availableon the Dealer Portal under Support: ctrl4.co/docsFront viewA Data LED—The LED indicates that the controller is streaming audio.B IR window—IR blaster and IR receiver for learning IR codes.C Caution LED—This LED shows solid red, then blinks blue during the boot process.

Ports 1, 2, and 3 can be reconfigured independently for serial communication. If not used for serial, they can be used for IR. Connect a serial device to the controller using the Control4 3.5 mm-to-DB9 Serial Cable (C4-CBL3.5-DB9B, sold separately). 1 The serial ports support many dierent baud rates (acceptable range: 1200 to 115200 baud for odd and even parity). The serial ports do not support hardware flow control.2 See Knowledgebase article #268 (https://dealer.control4.com/dealer/knowledgebase/article/268) for pinout diagrams.3 To configure a port for serial or IR, make the appropriate connections in your project using Composer Pro. See the Composer Pro User Guide for details.Note: The serial ports can be configured as straight-through or null with Composer Pro. Serial ports by default are configured straight-through and can be changed in Composer by selecting the option Enable Null-Modem Serial Port (1/2/3).Setting up IR emittersYour system may contain third-party products that are controlled through IR commands. 1 Connect one of the included IR emitters to an IR OUT port on the controller.2 Place the stick-on emitter end onto the IR receiver on the Blu-ray player, TV, or other target device to drive IR signals from the controller to the targets.Setting up external storage devices (optional)You can store and access media from an external storage device, for example, a network hard drive or USB memory device, by connecting the USB drive to the USB port and configuring or scanning the media in Composer Pro.Note: We support only externally powered USB drives or solid state USB sticks. Self-powered USB drives are not supported. Note: When using USB storage devices on an EA-3 controller, you can use only one partition with a 2 TB maximum size. This limitation also applies to the USB storage on other controllers.Composer Pro driver informationUse Auto Discovery and SDDP to add the driver to the Composer project. See the Composer Pro User Guide for details.TroubleshootingReset to factory settingsCaution! The factory restore process will remove the Composer project. Back up the project with Composer Pro before you start the factory restore process To restore the controller to the factory default image:1 Insert a straightened paper clip into the small hole on the back of the controller labeled FACTORY RESTORE.2 Press and continue to hold the FACTORY RESTORE button, the controller resets and the caution LED turns solid red.3 Hold the button until the Caution LED flashes double orange. This should take five to seven seconds. The Caution LED flashes orange while the factory restore is running. When complete, the Caution LED turns o and the device power cycles one more time to complete the factory restore process.Note: On an EA-3 V2 controller, the ID button is also an LED that provides the same feedback as the Caution LED on the front of the controller.Power cycle the controller1 Press and hold the ID button for five seconds. The controller turns o and back on.Reset the network settingsTo reset the controller network settings to the default: 1 Disconnect power to the controller.2 While pressing and holding the ID button on the back of the controller, reconnect power to the controller.3 Hold the ID button until the Caution LED (rear ID LED) appears solid orange and the Link and Power LEDs are solid blue, and then immediately release the button.Note: In OS 2.10.1 and lower, the Caution LED appears solid blue during the network reset check. After updating to OS 2.10.2 and higher, the Caution LED appears orange during the network reset check.LED status information Just powered on Bootloader loaded Kernel loaded Network reset check Factory restore underway Factory restore fail Connected to Director Playing audioRegulatory/Safety informationTo review regulatory information for your particular Control4 products, see the information located on the Control4 website at ctrl4.co/reg.WarrantyVisit ctrl4.co/warranty for details.More helpFor the latest version of this document and to view additional materials, open the URL below or scan the QR code on a device that can view PDFs.Data Caution Link Power—Flashing LED —Solid LEDon EA-3 V2 onlyMOST RECENT VERSIONctrl4.co/ea3-igMORE INFO ON EA CONTROLLERSctrl4.co/ea200-00381-B 2018-05-09 DHCopyright ©2018, Control4 Corporation.
