5. Installation

IMPORTANT: Ensure the main power supply is OFF before starting installation.

5.1. General Wiring Instructions

All types of socket installations and wiring methods are similar. Refer to the following general guidelines and diagrams for connecting your device:

• L (Live Terminal): Connect the live wire.
• N (Neutral Terminal): Connect the neutral wire.
• Earth Terminal: Connect the ground wire for safety.

User Tip: Always measure and verify the L (Live) and N (Neutral) contacts prior to assembly, as markings can sometimes be swapped or unclear.

5.2. Assembly Steps

Follow these steps to assemble your modular wall socket:

1. Unpack Components: Open the product box and carefully remove all function parts, metal mounting plate, and glass panel.
2. Insert Function Parts: Push the desired function parts (e.g., EU socket, USB module, switch) into the openings of the metal mounting plate from the front side. Ensure they click securely into place.
3. Wire Connections: Following the general wiring instructions (Section 5.1) and any specific diagrams for your module type, connect the electrical wires to the terminals on the back of each function part. Ensure all connections are tight and no bare wires are exposed.
4. Mount to Wall Box: Place the assembled metal plate with function parts into the wall-embedded box. Use screws to securely fix the metal plate to the wall box.
5. Attach Glass Panel: Carefully align the glass panel with the mounted assembly. The notched side of the glass panel should align with the corresponding notched side of the metal plate. Gently push the glass panel onto the device until it snaps into place.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Standard Sockets and Switches

• Power Sockets: Insert your appliance's plug into the socket. Ensure the plug is fully inserted.
• Switches: Press the switch button to toggle the connected light or appliance ON/OFF.
• USB Sockets: Connect your USB charging cable to the USB port to charge compatible devices.
• RJ45/TV/Satellite Sockets: Connect the appropriate cables (Ethernet, coaxial TV, satellite) to their respective ports.

6.2. WiFi Socket App Setup (for WiFi-enabled modules)

To control your WiFi-enabled sockets via smartphone, follow these steps:

1. Download App: Download and install the 'SMART LIFE' or 'TUYA' app from your device's App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). You can also scan the QR code below.
2. Register/Log In: Open the app and register for a new account or log in if you already have one.
3. Power On Socket: Ensure the WiFi socket module is correctly installed and powered on.
4. Enter Pairing Mode: Long press the button on the WiFi socket until the LED indicator starts to flicker rapidly.
5. Enable Bluetooth: Turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone.
6. Add Device: In the 'SMART LIFE' or 'TUYA' app, the device should automatically appear for pairing. If not, tap the '+' icon to manually add a device, then select 'Socket (ZigBee)' or similar option.
7. Connect to WiFi: Enter your 2.4GHz WiFi network password.
8. Complete Pairing: Wait for the app to complete the pairing process. A successful pairing will be confirmed in the app.

Note: Only 2.4GHz WiFi networks are supported. 5.0GHz networks are NOT compatible.

6.3. Voice Control (for WiFi-enabled modules)

Once your WiFi socket is successfully paired with the 'SMART LIFE' or 'TUYA' app, you can integrate it with voice assistants:

• Amazon Alexa: Link your 'SMART LIFE' or 'TUYA' account to Amazon Alexa through the Alexa app.
• Google Home: Link your 'SMART LIFE' or 'TUYA' account to Google Home through the Google Home app.

You can then control your WiFi sockets using voice commands (e.g., "Alexa, turn on the living room light" or "Hey Google, turn off the bedroom socket").

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the glass panel and plastic components, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface finish.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the wall sockets and switches for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. If any issues are found, disconnect power and address them immediately.
• Dust Removal: Keep the sockets free from dust and debris to ensure optimal performance and prevent overheating.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Power to Socket/Switch:
  • Check the main circuit breaker to ensure power is on.
  • Verify all wiring connections (Live, Neutral, Earth) are correct and secure.
  • Ensure the function part is properly inserted into the metal plate.
• WiFi Socket Not Connecting to App:
  • Confirm your WiFi network is 2.4GHz, not 5.0GHz.
  • Ensure the socket's LED indicator is flickering rapidly, indicating it's in pairing mode.
  • Check your WiFi password for accuracy.
  • Make sure your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled during the pairing process.
  • Ensure the WiFi socket is within range of your WiFi router.
  • Try restarting your router and the WiFi socket.
• Glass Panel Not Fitting/Falling Off:
  • Ensure the metal mounting plate is securely fastened to the wall box.
  • Verify that the glass panel is correctly aligned with the metal plate's notches before pushing it into place.
• Physical Fit Issues (e.g., frame too big):
  • Some users have noted that BSEED frames can be larger than certain standard connection boxes. Always measure your existing wall boxes and compare with the product dimensions (Figure 3.2) before purchase and installation.
