5. Safety Information
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.
- Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before installing or servicing.
- Do not connect non-dimmable lighting fixtures. Non-dimmable fixtures can cause large pulse currents that may damage the dimmer's MOS tube.
- Ensure the dimmer is installed in a dry environment, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
- Verify that the total load connected to the dimmer does not exceed its maximum rated power (400W at 220V, 200W at 110V).
- Use appropriate wire types and ensure correct stripping length (8-9mm) for secure connections.
6. Setup and Installation
6.1 Wiring Method
The dimmer features quick connect ports for simplified wiring. Follow these steps:
- Open the connector upwards.
- Press down after inserting the wire.
- Ensure wiring is complete and secure before powering on.
6.2 Product Placement
The ultra-mini design allows the dimmer to be placed inside a standard wire box behind your existing push switch.
6.3 Connecting to a ZigBee Gateway
To enable APP and voice control, connect the dimmer to a compatible ZigBee gateway (e.g., Hue Bridge, Amazon Echo Plus, SmartThings, Tuya).
- Power Your Light Sources: Connect the dimmer to your light source and power it on.
- Set Up Your Bridge: Plug in your ZigBee bridge and connect it to your WiFi router using the network cable provided.
- Download the Bridge APP: Download the corresponding APP for your ZigBee bridge (e.g., Hue app).
- Search Lights in the APP: Start the device searching function within your bridge's APP. If the gateway does not find the device, power off/on the dimmer or perform a reset (see Section 7.1) and try again.
7. Operating Instructions
7.1 Key Functions on the Dimmer
- Reset Button: Short press 5 times to reset the controller.
- Level Button: Long press to set the minimum brightness of the dimmer. (Assumption: Long press to increase brightness, long press again after releasing to decrease brightness).
- Push Button: Short press for Power On/Off. Long press to adjust brightness (Assumption: Long press to increase brightness, long press again after releasing to decrease brightness).
7.2 APP Control
Once connected to your ZigBee gateway, you can control the dimmer using the corresponding smartphone application. This allows for remote control, brightness adjustment, and integration into smart home routines.
7.3 Push Switch Control
The dimmer can be controlled directly using a traditional push switch connected to it. A short press will turn the light on/off, while a long press will adjust the brightness.
7.4 2.4G RF Remote Control
For local control without a gateway, a compatible 2.4G RF remote control (e.g., GL-RC-010) can be paired with the dimmer to adjust brightness and turn lights on/off.

8. Compatible Load Types
The dimmer is designed to work with various dimmable light sources. Refer to the table below for compatible types and maximum loads:
| Load Type | Maximum Load (220V) | Maximum Load (110V) |
|---|---|---|
| Dimmable LED lamps | 200W | 100W |
| Dimmable LED drivers | 200W | 100W |
| Incandescent lighting, HV Halogen lamps | 400W | 200W |
| LV voltage halogen lighting with electronic transformers | 200W | 100W |
The dimmer utilizes a trailing edge dimming method, which is generally compatible with most dimmable LED drivers and traditional incandescent/halogen lamps.
9. Troubleshooting
- Light not dimming or flickering: Ensure the connected light fixture is dimmable. Non-dimmable lights are not compatible. Check wiring connections for looseness.
- Dimmer not responding to APP/Voice control: Verify the dimmer is successfully paired with your ZigBee gateway. Try resetting the dimmer (short press Reset button 5 times) and re-pairing. Ensure your gateway is connected to the internet and the APP is updated.
- Dimmer not responding to Push Switch/RF Remote: Check wiring for the push switch. For RF remote, ensure it is paired correctly with the dimmer. Replace remote battery if necessary.
- Dimmer gets hot: Ensure the total load does not exceed the maximum rated power. Overloading can cause overheating and damage. Ensure proper ventilation around the dimmer.
- Dimmer not found during gateway search: Power cycle the dimmer (turn off and on power) or perform a reset, then try searching again. Ensure the dimmer is within range of the ZigBee gateway.
10. User Tips
- For optimal performance and longevity, always use dimmable light bulbs and fixtures with this dimmer.
- Consider the placement of your ZigBee gateway to ensure good signal strength to all connected devices.
- If experiencing connectivity issues, try moving the dimmer or gateway closer, or adding a ZigBee repeater to extend the network range.
