4.2 Wiring Diagram

Connect the cables to the product according to the following general wiring diagram. Specific modules may have slight variations, always refer to the markings on the module itself.

Figure 3: Product Size and General Wiring Diagram

• L Terminal: Connect to Live Wire (typically red or brown).
• N Terminal: Connect to Neutral Wire (typically blue or black).
• Earth Terminal: Connect to Earth Wire (typically green/yellow striped).

4.3 Module Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Wall Box: Ensure the wall box is correctly installed and meets the dimension requirements.
2. Connect Wiring: Connect the Live, Neutral, and Earth wires to the corresponding terminals on the module as per the wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Fix Function Keys: Secure the individual module (function key) into the wall box.
4. Install Frame: Attach the chosen frame (plastic or glass) to the wall box, ensuring it clips securely into place. For multi-gang frames, install from left to right.

5. Operating Instructions

The operation of each module varies based on its type:

• Switches: Press the touch panel to toggle connected lights or appliances ON/OFF.
• Dimmers: Use the touch controls to adjust light intensity.
• Curtain Switches: Control the opening and closing of motorized curtains.
• Sockets: Provide power outlets for various devices.

5.1 Smart Control (for compatible modules)

If you have installed a smart module (e.g., Zigbee Smart Switch), you can integrate it with a compatible smart home gateway and control it via a mobile application or voice commands.

1. Pairing Mode: Ensure your smart module is in pairing mode (often indicated by a blinking LED). Refer to the specific module's instructions for how to enter pairing mode.
2. Add Device in App: Open your smart home app (e.g., Tuya Smart, Smart Life) and select 'Add Device'.
3. Confirm Blinking: Confirm that the device's indicator light is blinking as required by the app (slowly or quickly).
4. Connect: Follow the app's prompts to connect the device to your Wi-Fi network (2.4GHz recommended) and gateway.
5. Control: Once added, you can control the module via the app, set schedules, or integrate with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the modules and frames with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as this may damage the finish or internal components.
• Inspection: Periodically check for any loose connections, damage to the wiring, or signs of wear. If any issues are found, consult a qualified electrician.
• Safety: Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before performing any maintenance or cleaning that involves opening the wall box.

7. Troubleshooting

• Module Not Responding:
  • Check if the circuit breaker is ON.
  • Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
  • For smart modules, check if the device is online in your smart home app.
• Smart Module Not Pairing:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz.
  • Confirm the module is in pairing mode (blinking LED).
  • Try resetting the device by following the app's instructions (e.g., power cycle or hold reset button for 5 seconds).
  • Ensure the smart home gateway is powered on and within range.
• Intermittent Operation:
  • Verify stable power supply.
  • Check for loose wiring connections.
  • For smart modules, ensure a strong and stable Wi-Fi signal.

8. User Tips

• Modular Design: Take advantage of the DIY modular design to customize your wall plates. You can mix and match different switches, sockets, and data ports to create the perfect configuration for any room.
• Smart Home Integration: For enhanced convenience, consider integrating smart switch modules with a Zigbee gateway. This allows for remote control, scheduling, and voice control via popular platforms like Alexa or Google Assistant.
• Professional Installation: While designed for DIY, for complex installations or if you are unsure about electrical wiring, always consult a certified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
• Frame Compatibility: Ensure you select frames that are compatible with the BSEED E Series modules (86/157/228/299/370mm plastic/glass frames).
