SAFETY

Warnings and considerations

WARNINGS

Turn OFF electrical power before installing or servicing this product. Improper use or installation can cause SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH or LOSS/ DAMAGE OF PROPERTY.
This device must be protected by a circuit breaker (20A max).
Ground this device in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) requirements. DO NOT rely solely upon the mounting braket’s contact with a metal wall box for adequate grounding. Use the mounting plate’s ground wire to make a secure connection to the safety ground of the electrical system.

IMPORTANT

This device must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.
Use this device only with copper or copper-clad wire. Do not use aluminum wiring. This product has not been approved for use with aluminum wiring.
Using this product in a manner other than outlined in this document voids your warranty. Further, Snap One is NOT liable for any damage incurred with the misuse of this product. See “Troubleshooting.”
Do NOT use a power screwdriver to install this device. If you do, you may overtighten the screws and strip them. Also, overtightening the screws may interfere with proper button operation.
This is an electronic device with intricate components. Handle and install with care!

Installation Instructions

Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
- Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
- 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.

Turn off the local electrical power by either switching off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse from the fuse box. To ensure the wires do NOT have power running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.
- NOTE: The wall box wiring shown in this document is an example. Your wire colors and functions may differ.
Prepare each wire. Wire insulation should be stripped back 1/2 of an inch (13 mm) from the wire end. You can use the strip gauge on the back of the keypad to check the proper distance.

Identify your wiring application, and then see the appropriate wiring diagram in the Sample Wiring Configurations section below.
Connect the ground wire lead from the mounting plate to ground in the wall box.
- IMPORTANT! Not grounding this product, as described in the section Warnings and Considerations, may result in an installation less immune to damage caused by electrical disturbances, such as ESD or lightning, and may void the warranty.

Using a manual screwdriver, install the mounting plate to the wall box. Do not overtighten the screws. Pull the rest of the wires through the mounting plate.
Identify and connect the wires to the back of the keypad. Insert the wire into the terminal and secure it by hand-tightening the set screw.
Fit the wires back into the wall box. Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily fold into the wall box.

Align the keypad to the mounting plate (the strip gauge should be at the top) and fasten it with screws. Tighten the screws until the back side of the keypad is even with the mounting plate, but no further. Overtightening can warp the keypad, which may cause mechanical malfunction and mounting inconsistencies.
Starting with the bottom button and working your way up, install the temporary buttons onto the device. Orient the buttons with the light pipe on the right. Place the button’s left prong onto the black post on the device’s left side. Then, snap the other side into place.
- TIP: This device ships with temporary buttons for basic operation until finished. Engraved buttons can be ordered. To remove the temporary buttons and install the engraved buttons, see the Control4 Lux Button Installation Guide (ctrl4.co/lux-butn-ig). Blank unengraved buttons are also available.

Install the Control4 Faceplate following the instructions in the Control4 Lux Faceplate Installation Guide (ctrl4.co/lux-fp-ig).
Turn on power at the circuit breaker or replace the fuse from the fuse box.

Operation And Configuration

On initial power up, all status LEDs on the keypad will illuminate green indicating that the device has power.

To set up this keypad for use with a Control4 system, refer to the Composer Pro User Guide.

Button tap sequences

The button tap sequences are defined in the table below. Button tap sequences that require a single button use the top button. For example, the factory reset sequence is 9 taps on the top, then, 4 on the bottom, and then, 9 on the top.

Function	Button Sequence
Identify	4
Zigbee channel	7-4-7
Reboot	15
Factory reset	9-4-9
Leave mesh and reset	13-4-13

Troubleshooting

If the status LEDs do not turn on:

Ensure that the circuit breaker is not turned OFF or tripped.
Check for proper wiring (see Sample Wiring Configurations).
