INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Wiring instructions
- Turn off the power before wiring.
- Place the device on the flush box and tighten it using the screw. *(Depth of the box to be decided based on the size of switch)*
- To power the device, connect the AC Line and Neutral wires from the mains supply to the Line and Neutral of the device respectively.
- Based on the number of toggle/push button switches to control, connect the input lines to the switches.
- Connect 0-10V input wires to the rotary switch to control the dimming (optional).
- Cover the switch.

Wiring Diagram
The wiring diagram shows the Catron AI device connected to a power source (Line and Neutral). It details connections to four toggle or push-button switches labeled T1, T2, T3, and T4 via individual switch input wires (yellow, red, green, blue respectively). Additionally, it shows a 0-10V input connection and a Common Ground connection, typically for a rotary dimmer switch.
Application
An image depicts the Catron AI device installed within a wall box, connected to a bank of four white toggle switches in a modern office or living space, illustrating its integration into a smart home environment.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Lights go back to ON state after a Power Outage.
This is normal operation. The device has a fail-safe feature that forces it to 50% or 100% output, or 0-10V at full output, upon loss of power. Alternatively, the device will return to its previous state after power is restored, as configured using the Lumos Controls mobile app.
Issue: Device doesn't operate immediately after power ON.
Check whether you have set up a transition time.
Issue: Lights flickering.
- The connection is not appropriate.
- The wires are not secured firmly with connectors.
Issue: Lights did not turn ON.
- Circuit breaker tripped.
- Fuse has blown.
- Inappropriate wiring.
