Installation Guide

WARNING! Ground the Wireless Dimmer in accordance with the National
Electric Code (NEC) requirements. Although the dimmer's aluminum yoke plate
and green ground wire are directly bonded together inside the dimmer, DO NOT
rely solely upon the yoke plate's contact with a metal wall box for adequate
grounding. Use the dimmer's ground wire to make a secure connection to the
safety ground of the electrical system.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de Décharge électrique. Fondez [l'artifice]
conformément au Code Électrique national (NEC) les exigences. Bien que la
plaque de joug en aluminium du variateur et le fil de garde vert soient directement
bonded ensemble intérieurs au variateur, ne dépendez pas uniquement sur le
contact de plaque de joug avec une boîte murale en métal pour les bases
adéquates. Utilisez le fil de garde du variateur pour faire une connexion sûre à la
terre de sécurité du système électrique.
IMPORTANT! Not grounding this product according to the preceding may result
in an installation less immune to damage caused by electrical disturbances, such
as lightning, and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT : Pas les bases de ce produit selon la précédence peuvent
s'ensuivre dans une installation moins immunisée pour nuire provoqué par les
troubles électriques, comme la foudre et le vide la garantie.
7 If you are using the Control4 push-on (screw-less) wall plate that shipped with your
dimmer:
a. For a single-gang scenario, attach the black plastic sub-plate using the
provided sub-plate screws.
IMPORTANT! Tighten the screws until the back side of the metal yoke plate
is even with the wall surface, but no farther. Over-tightening can damage the
dimmer and cause mechanical malfunction. Do NOT use a power screw driver
to install this device as this may lead to over-tightening.
IMPORTANT : Serrez les vis jusqu'à ce que la face arrière de la plaque de joug
en métal soit même avec la surface murale, mais pas plus loin. Le fait de
surserrer peut nuire au variateur et provoquer le mauvais fonctionnement
mécanique. N'utilisez pas de chauffeur de vis de pouvoir pour installer cet
artifice comme cela peut causer le fait de surserrer.
b. If you are installing in a multi-gang scenario, only partially tighten the mounting
screws, leaving about 1/8 of an inch gap between the wall and the yoke plates
prior to attaching the black plastic sub-plate. This allows each device in a multi-
gang scenario to conform to the sub-plate, creating a single assembly. Secure
the multi-gang sub-plate to all devices using the provided sub-plate screws.
Then secure the assembly by tightening the wall box screws the remaining 1/8
of an inch. Do not over-tighten any of the screws or you will misalign the flat
plane of the multi-gang wall plate.
c. With the wall plate's removal slot facing down, push the wall plate
onto the dimmer's black plastic sub-plate.
8 If you are using a Decora-style screw-on wall plate:
a. Do not attach the dimmer's black plastic sub-plate
b. Align the dimmer to the wall box and fasten with screws.
c. Fasten the wall plate to the dimmer with screws.
9 Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or replace fuse from fuse box.
10 Test the dimmer to see if it is working properly. See "Operation and
Configuration" for specific instructions.
Optional Antenna Extension
In some installation scenarios, it may be desirable to enhance the Dimmer's wireless (RF)
transmission capabilities. This may be needed to overcome issues such as local
interference from other devices, range considerations due to the distance between devices
or the use of metallic faceplates. The Control4 Wireless Dimmer has been designed with a
wire whip antenna coiled underneath the plastic button that can be extended to
accommodate such scenarios. Instructions for extending the antenna are provided below.
WARNING! To avoid risk of electrical shock that may cause personal injury or
damage to the dimmer, this procedure should be performed prior to connecting
the dimmer at the wall box.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de Choc électrique. Pour éviter la blessure
personnelle ou le dommage à dimmer, cette procédure devrait être exécutée
avant de communiquer dimmer à la boîte murale.
CAUTION! Risk of Equipment Damage. This procedure enables advanced
functionality and should only be performed by a competent trained installer.
PRUDENCE : Risque de Dommage d'Équipement. Cette procédure permet la
fonctionnalité avancée et devrait seulement être exécutée par un installateur
entraîné compétent.
1 Remove the plastic button frame by squeezing
the side tabs near the top and bottom of the
button and pulling outward. A small flat-head
screw driver can also be used to assist in
releasing the tabs.
2 Once the button has been removed, detach the
radio board from its connector by gently pulling
away from the dimmer frame.
3 Slip the end of the antenna out of the radio
board hole and uncoil it, being careful not to
exert undue tension on the wire. Once uncoiled,
thread the antenna wire under the plastic spacer
at the bottom of the radio board.
4 Re-attach the radio card to the dimmer frame by
carefully aligning the connector and pressing gently. Then
re-attach the button and button frame by aligning the
button frame securement tabs with the appropriate slots on
the dimmer frame and pushing gently. Ensure that the
antenna is routed through the small notch on the bottom
left-hand side of the button frame provided for this
purpose. Once the button has been re-attached, proceed
with the standard installation procedure for wiring the
dimmer to the light load and securing it into the wall box,
as described in Step 1
through Step 6 of “Installation
Instructions.”
5 The antenna has been designed to extend well beyond the
faceplate. For optimal performance, it should be oriented
in a vertical plane below the dimmer. To enable this without
leaving the antenna visible to the end user, a very small
hole should be made in the wall just below the dimmer
frame and the antenna inserted through the hole back into
the wall. Once the antenna has been routed into the wall,
proceed with standard installation of the dimmer sub-plate
and faceplate, as described in Step 7
and Step 8 of
“Installation Instructions.”
CAUTION! Risk of Equipment Damage. The antenna
must not be inserted into the junction box containing high voltage wires.
PRUDENCE : Risque de Dommage d'Équipement. L'antenne ne doit pas être
insérée dans la boîte de dérivation contenant de hauts fils de voltage.
NOTE: Do not shortened or cut the antenna in any way as this may seriously
impair transmission capabilities.
IMPORTANT : Ne faites pas raccourci ou coupez l'antenne de toute façon comme
cela peut sérieusement diminuer des capacités de transmission.
Troubleshooting
If light does not turn on:
• Ensure at least one LED on the face of the dimmer is lit.
• Ensure the light bulb is not burned out and is screwed in tightly.
• Ensure circuit breaker is not turned OFF or tripped.
• Check for proper wiring (see “Sample Wiring Configurations”).
