4. Installation
Safety Warning: Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician or in accordance with local electrical codes. Ensure power is turned off at the main circuit breaker before beginning any electrical work.
4.1. Wall Box Requirements
Our switches and sockets are designed to fit into standard 60mm mounting wall boxes. The depth of the mounting box should be at least 25mm.
4.2. General Installation Steps
- Connect cables to the product according to the specific wiring diagram for your module type (see Section 4.3).
- Fix the function keys (modules) securely into the wall boxes.
- Install the chosen frame (plastic or glass) over the modules, ensuring it clicks into place. For multi-gang frames, install from left to right.
4.3. Wiring Diagrams
Refer to the following diagrams for specific module wiring. Always ensure correct connection of Live (L), Neutral (N), and Earth (E) wires.
4.3.1. CAT3/Telephone & CAT6 Socket Wiring
- Strip the outer sheath of the network cable.
- Cut one end of the network cable.
- Sort the network cable according to the B-type color code.
4.3.2. Antenna Socket Wiring
- Remove 17mm of the outer sheath.
- Twist the screening braid back onto itself until it is 5mm long.
- Remove 7mm of the inner insulating sheath.
- Insert the prepared cable into the module.
4.3.3. Dimmer & Speed Controller Wiring
These modules operate on 220-240V AC 50Hz. The Dimmer supports a maximum load of 500W (LED Load 5-160W, Incandescent Load 5-900W Max). The Fan Speed Controller supports a maximum load of 600W.
4.3.4. PD 65W USB Type A+C Socket Wiring
Input: 200-250V AC 50/60Hz. Output specifications:
- USB Type-C Only: 65W Max (5V3A/9V3A/12V3A/15V3A/20V3.25A)
- USB Type-A Only: 30W Max (5V3A/9V3A/12V2.5A)
- USB Type-A + Type-C Combined: 10W Max + 45W Max
5. Operation
5.1. Manual Control
For standard switch and socket modules, operation is straightforward. Press the switch plate to toggle power or plug devices into the sockets as usual.
5.2. Smart Control (for compatible Zigbee Smart Switches)
Certain E Series modules, such as the Zigbee Smart Switch, can be integrated into a smart home system for remote control and automation. This typically requires a compatible Zigbee gateway and a smartphone application.
5.2.1. Pairing with a Smart Gateway
- Ensure your smart switch module is correctly wired and powered on.
- Open your smart home application (e.g., Tuya Smart, Smart Life).
- Initiate the device search/pairing mode within the app.
- Follow the app's instructions to put the switch into pairing mode (e.g., press and hold a button on the switch until an indicator light blinks).
- Confirm the indicator light status in the app (e.g., blinking slowly or quickly).
- Once discovered, add the device and configure its settings.
5.2.2. Voice Control
After successful pairing with your smart home system, you can link it to voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Use commands such as "Alexa, turn off Bedroom Light" or "Alexa, turn on Bedroom Light" to control your connected devices.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the modules and frames. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any loose connections, signs of wear, or damage. If any issues are found, disconnect power immediately and consult a qualified electrician.
- Safety: Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the modules yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Device Not Responding / Not Powering On
- Check the main circuit breaker to ensure power is supplied to the circuit.
- Verify all wiring connections are secure and correctly matched (Live, Neutral, Earth).
- Ensure the module is properly seated in its frame and wall box.
7.2. Smart Module Not Pairing
- Ensure your Zigbee gateway is powered on and within range of the module.
- Confirm the module's indicator light is blinking, indicating it is in pairing mode.
- If the LED is not blinking, reset the device according to the specific module's instructions (often involves a long press on the switch button or power cycling).
- Check your Wi-Fi network (for gateway connection) and ensure it's 2.4GHz if required by your gateway.
8. User Tips
- When installing multiple modules in a single frame, ensure they are aligned correctly before securing the frame.
- For smart modules, consider the placement of your Zigbee gateway to ensure optimal signal strength throughout your home.
- Always double-check wiring against the provided diagrams to prevent electrical hazards.
