Specifications and Supported Fixtures
The Wireless Outlet Dimmer plugs into a standard, earth-grounded (3-prong)
electrical wall outlet and communicates with the Control4
®
system using a
ZigBee (802.15.4) 2.4 GHz wireless connection through its built-in antenna.
It has two outlets that you can use it to control dimmable electrical devices,
such as incandescent lamps. This is a 800 watt dimmable surface outlet that
plugs directly into any standard receptacle similar to a 24VAC transformer.
The Wireless Outlet Dimmer features:
• Two individually controllable
120 VAC dimmable electrical outlets.
• Two multi-color LEDs indicate outlet
activity and system feedback.
• An external button used during initial
Wireless Outlet Dimmer setup to
identify it on the Control4 system.
• A security screw tab that attaches to
the wall outlet’s center screw.

Install and Configure a Wireless Outlet Dimmer
The Wireless Outlet Dimmer allows you full use of the Control4 system
features. For example, if you have a dimmable light plugged into the outlet
dimmer, the light can be dimmed in concert with other lights when added to a
lighting scene in the system.
To install and configure a Wireless Outlet Dimmer:
1 Choose a location where the ZigBee wireless
communication will be most efficient: (1) place
closely enough to receive a strong signal and
(2); the Dimmer should not be placed too close
to devices that cause interference, such as a 2.4
GHz portable phone.
2 Plug the Wireless Outlet Dimmer into a wall
outlet. Optionally, you can secure it to a wall
outlet (to protect against accidental unplugging) as described in the
following steps:
a. At the wall outlet where you plan to plug in the Wireless Outlet
Dimmer, remove the outlet faceplate screw.
b. With the outlet faceplate still in place, but without the outlet
faceplate screw, plug the Wireless Outlet Dimmer into the bottom
receptacle of the wall outlet.
c. Insert the outlet faceplate screw through the Wireless Outlet
Dimmer’s security screw tab hole and then screw it back in place.
3 Plug the desired device(s) into the outlet(s) on the Wireless Outlet
Dimmer.
4 Within the Composer software, add and configure the Wireless Outlet
Dimmer to control the device(s) you plugged into the Wireless Outlet
Dimmer. See the Composer online help topic: “Add and Configure a
Wireless Outlet Dimmer.”
