Installation and Wiring
Introduction to Installation
The wired installation of the TC2 is similar to other wall switches. Before beginning, ensure the electrical power is turned off. Connect wires according to the markings on the rear of the switch and tighten screws securely to prevent short circuits. Neutral and phase wires must be connected to the appropriate rear connectors.
Notes:
- Ensure a minimum distance of one meter between wall outlets for proper use.
- For remote control functionality, the TC2 must be paired with a BroadLink RM pro device.
Electrical Specifications:
- Voltage: 170-240V
- Wattage: 7-200W per switch
- Important Note: If using LED or energy-saving lights, the load must be less than 100W per switch.
Wiring Steps

Remove the Panel: Use a screwdriver to carefully remove the front panel of the existing switch. Separate the front part as shown in the diagrams.

Load Protection
Parallel Protection
If the connected light remains dimly lit or flickers, use the provided load capacitor. Install the load capacitor between the live and neutral wiring as illustrated.
[Diagram Description: Shows a circular diagram representing the load. A capacitor is shown connected in parallel across the live and neutral wires of the light fixture.]
Note: Do not overload the installation. If the lights turn off automatically and then resume normal operation after 5 minutes, it may indicate an issue with the load. Ensure you are using an appropriate load for the installation.
