Control4 Wireless Adaptive Phase Dimmer
Control4 Wireless Adaptive Phase Dimmer
120V (C4-APD120), 240V (C4-APD240), 277V (C4-APD277)
The Control4® Wireless Adaptive Phase Dimmer is the dimmer of
choice for virtually any load type. It supports both forward phase
(leading edge) and reverse phase (trailing edge) dimming.
Use this device to eliminate a lot of the guesswork of choosing
the right dimmer for the job. The dimmer’s versatility also enables
you to change the load type in the future without installing a
dierent lighting control. Compatible with:
• LEDs
• Incandescents
• Halogens
• Electronic low-voltage (solid state) transformers
• Magnetic (iron core) low-voltage transformers
• Fluorescents
• Compact fluorescents
Product features
• Automatically detects load type and determines the
appropriate dimming type. Protection circuitry helps protect it
from short circuits and excessive loads.
• Automatically adapts to application with or without neutral
wiring. For best performance, always use neutral wiring where
possible.
• Protection circuitry helps prevent device damage from short
circuits and excessive loads.
• Available in a wide array of gloss and satin colors (see
Available Colors in the specifications table).
• Custom engraving is available to clearly identify each device.
Backlit engraving available with programmable color control
for easy readability regardless of time of day or light level.
• Ambient light sensor automatically adjusts backlight and
status LED brightness for easy readability regardless of time
of day or light level.
• Status and backlight LED colors can be set to reflect a device
or scene status or simply to complement the room’s décor.
• Can be repurposed in Composer to act as a 2-button keypad
with no direct load control.
• Minimum and maximum dimming levels can be set to account
for dierent load types or simply to control energy usage.
• Continuously monitors energy consumption of the connected
load.
• Air gap actuator on the top of the switch disconnects power
to the device.
Included
• Adaptive Phase Dimmer
• Wire nuts (120V/277V) or Terminal Block (240V)
• Adaptive Phase Dimmer Installation Guide
Installation notes
• Follow all instructions in the installation guide.
• This device must be installed by a licensed electrician.
• Do not use to control non-dimmable loads.
• Requires an earth ground connection.
• Installs in a standard NEMA wall box using typical wiring
standards.
• Full load control is available from the device before being
identified into a project.
• Can function with or without a neutral AC connection,
depending on load type. Wiring with a neutral is always the
preferred wiring method (if possible). When wired without a
neutral, loads may appear dimmer.
• When used in conjunction with an Auxiliary Keypad
(C4-KA-xx), the wire connecting the Auxiliary Keypad to this
device must not exceed 150 feet (45 meters) at 120VAC and
100 feet (30 meters) at 277VAC.
• Grounding is highly recommended for this product. Grounding
will protect the device from ESD (electrostatic discharge)
eects. Follow the wiring diagrams in the installation guide.
• WARNING! This device must be protected by a circuit breaker
(20A max).

Phase Dimmer Installation Guide. See Control4 training materials
for best practices on ZigBee installation.
