R33C4DIM101ZWireless Dimmer

Wireless Dimmer Installation Guide Supported Models C4-DIM101-Z-W Wireless Dimmer (White) C4-DIM101-Z-B Wireless Dimmer (Black) C4-DIM101-Z-A Wireless Dimmer (Almond) Specifications and Supported Fixtures This Control4® Wireless Dimmer operates independently or as part of a Control4® home automation system to enable intelligent lighting control. It installs in a standard wall box using typical wiring standards and communicates with other devices through a wireless RF (radio frequency) connection. Warnings & Considerations WARNING! Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes. WARNING! Improper use or installation can cause SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH or LOSS/DAMAGE OF PROPERTY. WARNING! If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician. WARNING! To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, DO NOT install to control a receptacle, a motor, or a transformer-operated appliance. WARNING! Use this device only with copper or copper clad wire. This product has NOT been approved for use with Aluminum wiring. WARNING! This product generates heat during normal operation. IMPORTANT! Use or modification of this product in a manner not expressly approved by Control4 voids your warranty. 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. 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 Ensure Dimmer capacity matches the load requirements. In multi-dimmer installations, a reduction of the dimmer's capacity is required to allow the dimmers to be installed side-by-side in the same wall box. The dimmer capacity depends on the number "ganged" in the wall box as follows: • 1 gang = 1000 W / VA maximum • 2 gang = 800 W / VA maximum per dimmer • 3 or more gang = 600 W / VA maximum per dimmer If installing in multi-gang scenarios, use pliers to remove the inner-side break- away tabs: Bend each one back and forth until it breaks off. Remove the inner- side tabs ONLY on any device side that will be adjacent to another device. DO NOT remove tabs on any side that will become the outer side of a group of devices. 3 Identify your wiring application (refer to the appropriate diagram in “Sample Wiring Configurations” on the back page). • "Single-Pole (with power source at wall box) - see Figure 1 • "Single-Pole (with power source at light fixture) - see Figure 2 • "3-Way (with power source at wall box) - see Figure 3 • "3-Way (with power source at light fixture) - see Figure 4 4 Prepare wires by removing pre-cut insulation from the appropriate dimmer leads. Wire insulation should be stripped back 5/8 of an inch from the wire end (as shown). 5 Connect the dimmer wires to the wall box wires using wire nuts according to the relevant wiring diagram. See “Sample Wiring Configurations.” WARNING! The Blue wire is not a traditional traveler: It cannot directly power a lighting load. It must only be used to provide power to another Control4 keypad. If you do not intend to use this wire, leave it capped. The blue wire is a "switched hot" wire that is connected internally to the dimmer's hot wire through the air-gap switch. Power is applied to the blue wire whenever the air-gap switch is closed. Thus, the blue wire is used to provide power to downstream keypads in 3-way/4-way scenarios in order to ensure that all power to the load has been removed when the air-gap switch is open. Refer to “Sample Wiring Configurations” on the back page. 6 Mount Dimmer into wall box by partially securing the wall box screws attached to the dimmer. Ensure that the word "Top" on the dimmer frame is facing up. Bend wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily fold into the wall box. 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. IMPORTANT! Not grounding this product according to the preceding Warning! may result in an installation less immune to damage caused by electrical disturbances, such as lightning, and void the warranty. 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. 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-…
