Installation instructions
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 the following: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout of the home; (3) walls
separating devices; and (4) electrical equipment located near devices.
2 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.
3 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.
4 Identify your wiring application, and then see the appropriate wiring diagram in the
Sample Wiring Configurations section below.
5 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.

6 Connect the supplied ground wire lead to the ground wire in the wall box. Then,
using the supplied hardware, fasten the ground wire lead to whichever side of the
mounting plate that leaves the most space for the lighting device.

IMPORTANT! Grounding this device is required as described in the section
Warnings and Considerations. DO NOT rely solely upon the mounting plate's
contact with a metal wall box for adequate grounding.
7 Identify and connect the wires to the back of the keypad. Insert the wire into the
terminal and secure it by hand-tightening the terminal screw to 15 in-lb (1.7 Nm) of
torque.
NOTE: You must use the same size and type of wire in each terminal for proper
connection.

8 Fit the wires back into the wall box. Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so that they
easily fold into the wall box.
CAUTION: Install buttons after device is installed in the wall box. Pushing the
device into the wall box with buttons installed may damage the device.
9 Insert the device into the mounting plate and
fasten it with screws. Overtightening can warp
the device, causing mechanical malfunction
and difficulty mounting the buttons and
faceplate.
10 Install the temporary buttons. Start at the
bottom and work your way up. Each button
slot on the device has a pair of pegs on each
side. Align the button's lower tabs to the
device's lower pegs. Then, snap the button
onto the device.
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.
11 Install the Control4 Faceplate following the
instructions in the Control4 Lux Faceplate
Installation Guide (ctrl4.co/lux-fp-ig).
12 Turn on power at the circuit breaker or
replace the fuse from the fuse box.
