Installation Instructions 1 TURN OFF POWER by switching off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse and test that power is off before wiring!
2 Identify your wiring application (refer to the appropriate diagram in on the back page).
"Single-Pole (with power source at wall box) - see Figure 1
"3-Way (with power source at wall box) - see Figure 2 3 Prepare wires by removing pre-cut insulation from the appropriate switch leads. Wire insulation should be stripped back 5/8 of an inch from the wire end (as shown). 4 Connect the switch wires to the wall box wires using wire nuts according to the relevant wiring diagram. 5 Mount Switch into wall box by partially securing the wall box screws attached to the switch. Ensure that the word "Top" on the switch frame is facing up. Bend wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily fold into the wall box. WARNING! Ground the Wireless Switch in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) requirements. Although the switch's aluminum yoke plate and green ground wire are directly bonded together inside the switch, DO NOT rely solely upon the yoke plate's contact with a metal wall box for adequate grounding. Use the switch's ground wire to make a secure connection to the safety ground of the electrical system. 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. 6 If you are using the Control4 push-on (screw-less) wall plate that shipped with your switch:
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 switch and cause mechanical malfunction. Do NOT use a power screw driver to install this device as this may lead to over-tightening. 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 switch's black plastic sub-plate. 7 8 9 If you are using a Decora-style screw-on wall plate:
a. Do not attach the switch's black plastic sub-plate b. Align the switch to the wall box and fasten with screws. c. Fasten the wall plate to the switch with screws. Turn ON power at the circuit breaker or replace fuse from fuse box. Test the switch to see if it is working properly. See "Operation and Configuration" for specific instructions.

Further, Control4 is NOT liable for any damage incurred with the misuse of this product. See "Limited 2 Year Warranty."
IMPORTANT! 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. Sample Wiring Configurations Single-Location ScenarioPower Source at Wall Box NOTE: This device will not function without a neutral AC connection. To wire the switch for a Control4 single-location scenario in which the power is first routed to the wallbox, connect together and cap with a wire nut the wires indicated in the following table:
Switch Wires White (neutral) Red (load) Black (hot) Green (ground) Wires in the Wall Box From Power Source White (neutral) None Black (hot) Green (ground) To Light Fixture White (neutral) black (load) None Green (ground) Two-Location ScenarioPower Source at Wall Box NOTE: This device will not function without a neutral AC connection. To wire the switch and a multi-button keypad in a two-location scenario
(Control4s 3-way-switch solution) where the power is first routed to the wall box, do the following:
1. Wire the switch into Wall Box #1 by connecting together and capping with a wire nut the following wires:
