Introduction
2
3
Control4 Wireless In-line Dimmer is a trailing edge dimming module that
enables intelligent lighting when integrated in a Control4 home automation
system. This dimmer is wired out of sight, in-line with the light load.
However, because it communicates wirelessly with the Control4 system, any
interface (Keypads, System Remote Controls, Touch Screens, Mini Touch
Screens, or LCD Keypads) can be used for lighting control. The In-line
Dimmer also provides an auxiliary switch input so that even a traditional
mechanical light switch can be integrated into the Control4 system.
Switch OFF and isolate the Mains Power at the main
consumer unit or fuse box before starting any installation
or maintenance work.
Remove the plastic cover over the terminals by loosening the screws on
the right side. The terminals are arranged as follows:
LOAD
LIVE IN
AUX SW OUT
AUX SW RET
NEUTRAL
EARTH
All this built-in intelligence means a home’s lighting control can be easily
personalized to respond to schedules or user activities, providing a level of
power and flexibility that is available only with Control4.
WARNING! Auxiliary switch connections (Aux Sw Out and Aux Sw
Ret) are Mains Live. All connected cables and switches must be
Mains Rated.

Install Wireless In-line Dimmer following one of the sample wiring
configurations found on page 2 as a guideline.
Replace the plastic terminal cover.
WARNING! Do not turn Mains Power back on until all wiring and
circuits are complete and plastic terminal covers are correctly fitted.
Configuration Overview
The Wireless In-line Dimmer must be configured in the Control4 system
using Composer configuration software in order to make the dimmer
available for use. During the configuration process, you mirror the physical
world in the software world, just like with other Control4 devices:
1. Add a Wireless In-line Dimmer object to the project design tree from the
list of available device drivers.
2. Identify the device to the system
by pressing its Address Switch
button four times. (It is recessed.
Use a pointed object to reach it.)
3. Use this same button as needed
for these purposes:
•
•
•
•
•
To identify to the controller: 4 button presses
To reset to factory default configuration: 9 button presses
To reboot device: 15 button presses
To report ZigBee channel: 7 button presses
To clear assert: 10 button presses
4. Complete the configuration in Composer by making connections or using
the In-line dimmer in a lighting scene. Once you complete the configuration, this dimmer can be controlled through all of the supported user interfaces (such as the System Remote Control, any Touch Screen, and the
LCD Keypad), or it can be turned on or off (but not dimmed) using a toggle switch that is physically connected to its contact sensor input.
Sample Wiring Configurations
WARNING! Auxiliary switch connections (Aux Sw Out and Aux Sw Ret) are Mains Live. All connected cables and switches must be Mains Rated.
NOTE: This product does not require a Neutral or Earth connection, however terminals are provided which may be used to "park" Neutral or Earth wires.
