3.3 Wiring Instructions
This switch operates without a neutral conductor. Follow the wiring diagrams carefully for 2-way and 3-way control setups.
Image 3.2: Detailed wiring diagrams for two-way and three-way control configurations. The 'Live Wire' connects to 'L', and 'Communication Wire' connects between switches for multi-location control.
- Turn off Power: Ensure the main power supply is OFF at the circuit breaker.
- Connect Live Wire: Connect the incoming Live Wire to the 'L' terminal on the switch.
- Connect Load Wires: Connect the wires leading to your light fixtures (load) to the 'L1' and 'L2' terminals for Gang 1 and Gang 2 respectively.
- For 2-Way Control (Two Switches, One Light):
- Connect a 'Communication Wire' between the 'L3' terminal of the first switch and the 'L3' terminal of the second switch.
- Connect the Live Wire to the 'L' terminal of the first switch.
- Connect the load wire(s) to the 'L1' and/or 'L2' terminals of the second switch.
- For 3-Way Control (Three Switches, One Light):
- Connect 'Communication Wires' between the 'L3' terminals of all three switches in series.
- Connect the Live Wire to the 'L' terminal of the first switch.
- Connect the load wire(s) to the 'L1' and/or 'L2' terminals of the last switch in the series.
- Secure Wiring: Ensure all wires are securely fastened in their respective screw terminals.
- Mount Switch: Carefully place the switch into the wall box and secure it with screws. Attach the glass panel.
- Restore Power: Turn the main power supply back ON at the circuit breaker.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Touch Operation
The CNBINGO touch light switch features a sensitive glass panel. To operate:
- To Turn On: Lightly touch the desired circular icon on the glass panel. The corresponding light will turn on, and the blue LED indicator will illuminate brightly.
- To Turn Off: Lightly touch the same circular icon again. The corresponding light will turn off, and the blue LED indicator will dim.

4.2 Two-Way Control Functionality
When configured for 2-way control, two CNBINGO switches can control the same light fixture from different locations. For example, one switch at the bottom of a staircase and another at the top can both control the same stairwell light.

4.3 Status LED Indicator
Each touch button on the switch has an integrated blue LED backlight:
- Bright Blue Light: Indicates the light circuit is ON.
- Dim Blue Light: Indicates the light circuit is OFF.
This feature allows for easy visibility of the switch's status in the dark without being overly bright or disruptive.
5. Maintenance
The tempered glass panel of the CNBINGO touch switch is designed for easy maintenance.
- Cleaning: To clean the glass panel, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glass or internal components.
- Inspection: Periodically check the switch for any signs of damage or loose connections. If any issues are observed, turn off the power at the circuit breaker and consult a qualified electrician.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: The internal components of the switch are not user-serviceable. Do not attempt to open or repair the switch yourself.
