* Notes: The maximum and minimum load requirements for fluorescent, CFL and LED loads can
vary greatly depending upon the specific fixture and/or bulb being used. At higher wattages,
these load types have significant in-rush current which can trip the protection circuitry on the
device. At low wattages, some CFL and LED loads will not be able to completely shut off.
In both cases, the quality and performance of these load types varies greatly from manufacturer
to manufacturer. When using these load types, we recommend testing in advance. If problems
are found, simply changing to a different bulb manufacturer may solve the problem.
Additionally, we do not recommend the use of fluorescent, CFL, or LED loads without a neutral
connected to the Dimmer due to the capacitive nature of these load types.

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! If you are not sure which wires are Live, Load, Neutral, or
Earth/Ground, have a trained electrician perform the installation.
CAUTION! Do not install to control a receptacle.
IMPORTANT!
Using this product in a manner other than outlined in this
document voids your warranty. Further, Control4 is NOT liable for any
damage incurred with the misuse of this product.
IMPORTANT! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Control4 could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Installation Instructions
NOTE: The Puck Module can be wired and installed several different
ways. Please follow the instructions below that are appropriate for your
installation.
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
• The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly
dependent on: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout of the home; (3)
walls separating the devices; and (4) electrical equipment located near the
devices.
• DO NOT exceed the maximum load rating of the device (see the previous
section, "Specifications and Supported Fixtures").
WARNING! Disconnect the power before installing or servicing this
device.
2 Switch off and isolate the mains power at the main consumer unit or fusebox
before starting any installation or maintenance.
3 Strip each wire's insulation back 4.5 mm (3/16 in.) from the wire end.
4 If the Puck Module will be mounted to the wallbox using the yoke plate or will
be installed "floating" in the box rather than mounted to it, snap off the Puck
Module mounting ears with a pair of pliers (see Figure 1).
