Note: The Ethernet port on the power box does not have
functioning indicator LEDs.
Option 2: PoE power and Wi-Fi
If you're unable to run a network cable from the network switch to the
touchscreen location, you can install a PoE injector to use household
wiring as the power source, and run a network cable from the injector
to the touchscreen power box. The touchscreen works with the
Control4 PoE Injector or any compatible third-party PoE Injector. This
configuration uses Wi-Fi for communication with the network.
To set up a PoE injector:
1 Attach the PoE injector between the non-PoE switch and the
touchscreen, according to the instructions in the PoE injector's
documentation (Figure 4).

a For the Control4 PoE injector, connect the injector to an AC
outlet using the power cord.
b Connect one of the LAN ports on the network switch to the PoE
injector's LAN port using Cat 5/6 Ethernet cable.
c Pull a cable going from the PoE injector's PWR LAN-OUT port
to the location where you want to install the touchscreen, then
through one of the touchscreen's left-side wall box knockout
holes (Figure 3, above).

Option 3: Wi-Fi with AC power
To connect AC power:
1 Place the touchscreen above a power source, for example, an
outlet. Make sure the location is within distance of your Wi-Fi
signal. (Figure 5).

2 Prepare the plastic power box for installation into the wall box by
inserting the AC power cable into the power box.
Caution: Use only 14 AWG wire for AC connections. For supply
connections, use wires suitable for at least
60 °C (140 °F).
3 Connect the wires to the AC power source for the touchscreen
according to national and local electrical codes. Installation may
require alternative wires.
4 Pull the power cable through a right-side knockout hole of the
wall box to the wire leads on the power box.
5 Strip the black and white power wire ends to 6 mm (about 1/4"),
as necessary.
6 Use wire nuts to connect the AC power wiring to the two wired
power leads from the power box.
7 If using a plastic wall box with an exposed bare copper ground,
wrap the ground in electrical tape or heat shrink tape/tubing. If
using a metal wall box, attach the ground wire to the wall box.
