Control4 Wireless Keypad Dimmer
Control4 Wireless Keypad Dimmer
120V (C4-KD120), 240V (C4-KD240), 277V (C4-KD277)
The Control4® Wireless Keypad Dimmer combines the dimming
capabilities of the Wireless Adaptive Phase Dimmer with the
flexibility of the Wireless Configurable Keypad. Directly control
the dimming of a load while giving customers one-touch access
to additional device controls, scenes, and programs.
The dimmer component is compatible with:
• LEDs
• Incandescents
• Halogens
• Electronic low-voltage (solid state) transformers
• Magnetic (iron core) low-voltage transformers
• Fluorescents
• Compact fluorescents
Product features
• The keypad can be configured with two to seven buttons
using four dierent button sizes for a total of 37 possible
configurations (one button kit included). There’s no need to
worry about how many buttons will be needed on a specific
keypad before (or even after) installation. Available buttons
include single-height, double-height, triple-height, and up/
down (single height).
• Protection circuitry helps prevent device damage from short
circuits and excessive loads.
• Continuously monitors energy consumption of the connected
load.
• Available in a wide array of gloss and satin colors (see
Available Colors in the specifications table).
• Status and backlight LED colors can be set to reflect a device
or scene’s status or simply to complement the room’s decor.
• Custom engraving is available to clearly identify each button.
• Backlit engraving available with programmable color control
for easy readability regardless of time of day or light level.
• Minimum and maximum dimming levels can be set to account
for dierent load types or simply to control energy usage.
• Automatically adapts to application with or without neutral
wiring. For best performance, always use neutral wiring where
possible.
• Air gap actuator on the top of the switch disconnects power
to the device.
Included
• Keypad Dimmer
• Keycap Button Kit
• Wire nuts (120V/277V) or Terminal Block (240V)

Installation notes
• Follow all instructions in the installation guide.
• This device must be installed by a licensed electrician.
• Installs in a standard NEMA wall box using typical wiring
standards.
• Do not use to control non-dimmable loads.
• 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.
• 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.
• Requires an earth ground connection.
• To prevent changes and delays in your custom engraving
order, plan and order any custom button engraving only after
the installation plan is finalized.
• Full load control is available from the device before being
identified into a project. In this state, all buttons toggle the
attached load. Best practice is to configure at least one button
on the device to directly control the attached load, to ensure
that load control is still possible if the connection to the
Control4 system is unavailable.
• WARNING! This device must be protected by a circuit breaker
(20A max).
For full installation instructions and warnings, see the Wireless
Keypad Dimmer Installation Guide. See Control4 training
materials for best practices on ZigBee installation.
