5. Installation
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure the main power supply to the installation area is switched off at the circuit breaker.
- Verify that the wall box has a minimum depth of 35mm and a diameter of 60mm.
- Confirm you have the necessary tools: screwdriver, wire strippers, and a voltage tester.
5.2 Mounting
The device can be mounted using either claws or screws, depending on your wall box type. The quick-connect wiring terminals simplify the process.
- Carefully remove the glass panel to access the mounting frame and wiring terminals.
- Connect the wires as described in the 'Wiring Methods' section.
- Insert the device into the wall box. Secure it using the integrated claws or by screwing it into the wall box.
- Reattach the glass panel, ensuring it clicks securely into place.

5.3 Wiring Methods
The switch offers two wiring options:
- Method 1: Without Neutral Conductor (2-wire system)
Connect the Live wire (L) and the Load wire (L1) to the corresponding terminals. This method is suitable for most standard installations. - Method 2: With Neutral Conductor (3-wire system)
Connect the Live wire (L), Load wire (L1), and Neutral wire (N) to their respective terminals. This method is recommended for low-power LED bulbs to prevent flickering.
For the integrated Schuko socket, connect the Live (L), Neutral (N), and Earth (E) wires to the designated terminals.

6. Operation
The CNBINGO touch switch operates with a simple touch on the glass panel. The integrated LED backlight provides visual feedback and helps locate the switch in the dark.
- Switching On/Off: Lightly touch the circular icon on the glass panel to toggle the connected light on or off.
- LED Status: When the light is off, the LED emits a soft glow. When the light is on, the LED glows brighter. This indicator is designed to be visible without disturbing sleep.

7. Maintenance
The tempered glass panel is designed for easy cleaning and durability.
- To clean the surface, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the glass or internal components.
- Ensure the device is dry before restoring power.

8. Troubleshooting
- Light Flickering: If connected low-power LED bulbs flicker, try connecting a neutral conductor to the switch (Wiring Method 2). This often resolves instability issues with sensitive loads.
- No Response: If the switch does not respond to touch, ensure the main power supply is on and all wiring connections are secure. Recheck the wiring according to the diagrams in Section 5.3.
- Power Outage: In case of a power outage, the switch will retain its last state once power is restored.
- Persistent Issues: If problems persist after following these steps, consult a qualified electrician for further assistance. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.
