5. Installation
Before proceeding with installation, ensure the main power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker to prevent electric shock.
Wiring Diagram (Typical)
The ZM-105 module features several terminals for connection:
- L: Live Input (Connect to the main live wire from the power supply).
- L1: Live Input (For 2-way switching or additional live connection, consult specific wiring diagrams for your setup).
- OUT: Switched Live Output (Connect to the live input of your light fixture).
- S: Switch Input (Connect to the live output of your traditional wall switch).
- N: Neutral Input (Connect to the main neutral wire from the power supply).
Steps:
- Turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker.
- Remove the existing light switch from its wall box.
- Connect the wires to the ZM-105 module according to the terminal labels and your specific wiring configuration. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Carefully place the ZM-105 module into the wall box, ensuring it does not interfere with the switch mechanism or wiring.
- Reinstall the light switch and cover plate.
- Restore power at the circuit breaker.
Note: If you are unsure about any wiring steps, consult a qualified electrician.
6. Operating Instructions
Pairing with a Smart Home Hub (Wireless Protocol 3.0)
The ZM-105 module uses Wireless Protocol 3.0 (commonly Zigbee 3.0) for smart home integration. The pairing process typically involves:
- Ensure your smart home hub is in pairing mode. Refer to your hub's manual for specific instructions.
- With power restored to the ZM-105 module, it should automatically enter pairing mode. Some modules may require a quick press of the connected wall switch (e.g., 5 times rapidly) to initiate pairing.
- The hub should detect the new device. Follow the on-screen prompts in your smart home app to add and configure the ZM-105 module.
- Once paired, you can control the connected lights via your smart home app, including turning them on/off and adjusting brightness levels.
Manual Operation
The connected traditional wall switch will continue to function for basic on/off control. If the switch supports dimming (e.g., a momentary push-button switch), it may also allow for local dimming control, depending on the switch type and module configuration.
7. Maintenance
- The ZM-105 module requires no regular maintenance.
- Ensure the module is kept free from dust and debris.
- Do not attempt to open or repair the module yourself. This will void the warranty and could lead to electrical hazards.
- If cleaning is necessary, disconnect power and wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on/off. | No power to the module; incorrect wiring; faulty light bulb. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Test light bulb. |
| Module does not dim lights. | Non-dimmable light bulb; module not paired correctly; incorrect dimming settings. | Ensure dimmable bulbs are used. Re-pair the module with the hub. Adjust dimming settings in the app. |
| Cannot pair with smart home hub. | Hub not in pairing mode; module too far from hub; interference. | Ensure hub is in pairing mode. Move module closer to hub. Check for other wireless interference. |
| Module is hot to the touch. | Overload; poor ventilation. | Ensure total load does not exceed 150W. Verify adequate space in the wall box for heat dissipation. Disconnect power and contact support if overheating persists. |
