Installation

Important: Ensure the main power supply is disconnected before starting installation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the device.

Wiring Diagrams

The switch supports two main wiring methods: with a neutral wire or without a neutral wire (single live wire). For single live wire installations, a capacitor is required.

Wiring diagram showing two methods: Live & Neutral Wire (Neutral Wire Required) and Single Live Wire (No Neutral Wire Required, with capacitor).
Wiring methods: Live & Neutral Wire (left) and Single Live Wire with Capacitor (right).

Wiring with Neutral Wire (N-line)

This method is suitable when a neutral wire is available in your switch box.

  • N terminal: Connects to the neutral line (zero line).
  • L terminal: Connects to the live wire.
  • L1, L2, L3, L4 terminals: Connect to the lamp wires.

Wiring without Neutral Wire (Single Live Wire)

This method is suitable when only a live wire is available in your switch box. A capacitor is required for proper operation.

  • L terminal: Connects to the live wire.
  • L1, L2, L3, L4 terminals: Connect to the lamp wires.
  • Capacitor: Connect the provided capacitor across the first lamp wire (L1) and the neutral wire of the lamp.

Troubleshooting

Q: What happens if the light keeps flashing after the switch panel is wired?
A: If no neutral wire is connected and no capacitor is connected, the light bulb will flash. Ensure a capacitor is installed for single live wire setups.
Q: In the absence of the neutral wire, the touch switch panel does not respond. What's going on?
A: If there is no neutral wire, a capacitor must be connected, otherwise the touch switch will not respond. Verify the capacitor is correctly installed.
Q: Can panels be used with or without neutral wires?
A: Yes, it can be used. If a neutral wire is available, connect it normally. If there is no neutral wire, a capacitor must be connected to the lamp circuit.

User Tips

  • App Compatibility: The switch works with the SmartLife application, allowing for remote control and automation.
