Tip: If you are using a Control4 push-on (screwless) faceplate in a
multi-gang installation, attach the black faceplate subplate to all of
the devices that will be installed into the wallbox before attaching the
devices to the wallbox. This will help ensure that all devices are properly
aligned and on the same plane after installation.
3
Fit the wires back into the wallbox.
4 Align the keypad to the wallbox (the model number label should be at the
bottom), then fasten it with the included screws.
Important: Tighten the screws until the back side of the yoke plate is
even with the wall surface, but no further. Overtightening can warp the
keypad and cause it to malfunction.

Install the top actuator bar, bottom sensor bar, and buttons following the
instructions in the Keypad Buttons Installation Guide (
6
Install the Control4 faceplate following the instructions in the Faceplate
Installation Guide or attach a standard Decora-style or square faceplate.
