(1) dry contact closure, logic input connection,
for gate control, etc. Provides power for small
devices (12 V), signal input (SIG), return path

both sets of contacts.
NOTE: Do not use contacts that are grounded.
The Door Station only supports non-grounded
contacts.

one of the large bottom-row holes (see Figure 13;
notice that the top row holes are smaller than the
bottom-row holes).
2 Using a small flat screwdriver, insert the
9
screwdriver into the slot on the small block that
sits between the two rows of holes adjacent to
the port and push down firmly. The block will

Troubleshooting
Boot Up
When the Door Station is booting up, if the button
blinks and does not stop after three (3) minutes or
longer, there is a problem with the device and it will
have to be restored. See “Reset/Restore the Door
Station” in this document.
Factory Restore
To restore the device to its default factory settings,
see “Reset/Restore the Door Station” in this
document.
Security Best Practices
The Door Station has connections for relays (to open
doors, gates, etc.) and contacts. If installed without
the proper security precautions, unauthorized access
to the Door Station could provide access to Ethernet
signals, Control4 signaling, and gate or door relays.
Control4 advises Control4 Dealers to be aware
of these risks and take all necessary precautions
depending on each specific installation you will be
doing.
It is each Dealer’s sole responsibility to advise their
customer at each installation of any security risks
