®-

automated home 

 
Welcome and congratulations on your purchase of the Card Access Sensor Bridge. This Quick Start & Installation Guide 
is an overview of configuring your Sensor Bridge with a Control4 System. This guide assumes that you are a qualified and 
trained Control4 dealer.  
 

 

Introduction 

The Card Access Sensor Bridge is a device capable of receiving and interpreting signals from GE/ITI sensors and 
integrating these signals with a Control4 System via the Control4 ZigBee wireless mesh. This device gives the 
homeowner the ability to utilize the wide range of GE sensors available as accessories to the Control4 system. 
 
The device consists of a self-contained, wall-mountable bridge in a plastic enclosure. It is powered by a 12V DC 
adapter.
