Installation instructions
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
• Do not exceed the load capacity requirements of the device. Refer to the
load ratings in the specifications above for details.
• Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
• 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.
NOTE: The wall box wiring shown in this document is an example. Your
wire colors and functions may differ. If you are not sure which wires are
the Line In/Hot, Neutral, Load, Traveler, and Earth Ground wires, have a
trained electrician perform the installation.

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
device to check the proper distance.
4 Identify your wiring application, and then see the appropriate wiring
diagram in the Sample Wiring Configurations section below.

IMPORTANT! This device must be grounded as described in the section
Warnings and Considerations. Otherwise, the installation may be less
immune to damage caused by electrical disturbances, such as ESD or
lightning, and may void the warranty.
5 Connect the ground wire lead from the mounting plate to ground in the wall
box.
6 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.

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.
9 Align the device to the mounting plate (the strip gauge should be at the
top) and fasten it with screws. Tighten the screws until the back side of the
device is even with the mounting plate, but no further. Overtightening can
warp the device, which may cause mechanical malfunction and mounting
inconsistencies.
10 Starting with the bottom button and working your way up, install the
temporary buttons onto the device. Orient the buttons with the light pipe on
the right. Place the button's left prong onto the black post on the device's left
side. Then, snap the other side into place.
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-butn-ig).
12 Turn on power at the circuit breaker or replace the fuse from the fuse box.
