Control4 8-Channel Relay
Control4 8-Channel Relay
(C4-DIN-8REL-E)
The Control4® 8-Channel Relay controls up to eight high in-rush
loads from one module in the Contro4 system. Each channel
supports a variety of load types including Incandescent, Halogen,
Electronic Low Voltage Transformers, Magnetic Low Voltage
Transformers, Fluorescents, Compact Fluorescents, LEDs, and
motors.
Product features
• 110V to 277V operation.
• IP controlled.
• Controls up to eight high in-rush loads.
• Each channel is rated for 16 Amps.
• Channel buttons allow for toggling on/o a load.
• Channel status LEDs indicate whether a load is on or o.
• Module override button allows toggling between the module
override scene and all channels o or setting the module
override scene to current channel on/o settings.
• Module status LED indicates if module power is on with
normal operation, o, or in thermal overload.
• Link/Activity LED indicates system link status, communication
activity, or firmware update status.
• Auxiliary override connection allows a standard line-voltage
toggle switch to control the attached lights before the control
system is installed or in case the controller malfunctions.

Installation notes
• In the US and Canada, modules must be installed in a Control4
2-Slot or 5-Slot panel to meet regulatory requirements.
Outside of the US and Canada, modules may be installed in
either a Control4 panel, an o-the-shelf DIN rail panel, or a
custom DIN rail enclosure per local regulatory requirements.
• If using a Control4 panel, install the Terminal Block for the
8-Channel Relay (C4-DIN-TB-8REL) following the instructions
in the Terminal Block Installation Guide and in the location
defined by the Composer Pro Panel Reports. Terminal block
installation should be done prior to rough-in so that the
electrician can terminate wires during the rough-in.
• Module should be installed in a climate-controlled area.
• Module should be installed where some noise is acceptable, as
the module makes clicking noises during operation.
• When using multiple line inputs, all line inputs must be on the
same electrical phase.
• If more than two channels will share a single line input, the
line-in must be fed into all appropriate Line In terminals
on the module. The line-in will need to be split via external
connections because no jumper is provided on the Relay
Module for combining line inputs.
• Line feed 1 powers channels 1-2. Line feed 2 powers channels
3-4. Line feed 3 powers channels 5-6. Line feed 4 powers
channels7-8. Module power is provided on Line feed 1. It must
be connected for proper operation. If only Line feed 1 is used,
LIne feeds 2, 3, and 4 must be connected in parallel.

Relay Installation Guide and 8-Channel Relay Wiring Guide.
