Wiring
This product must be secured with a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) of max. 16 A in the electrical cabinet. The MCB rating is limited by national installation rules.
* Classical push buttons (e.g. 170-0000x) can be connected to the extension terminals. All mechanical push-button extensions wired to the same terminal, will show the same behaviour (either the standard behaviour of the actor or a programmed behaviour). It is not possible to configure the behaviour of these extension switches separately. The maximum total wire length for all extension buttons connected to the Zigbee® dimmer is 50 m. It is not possible to add a LED lighting unit to the extension buttons.

Troubleshooting
Problem | Cause | Action |
I want to use the connected switch, but I don’t yet have a smart hub or wireless bridge to connect it with | All 230 V connected devices for Niko Home Control can be used in stand-alone mode until they are connected to a smart hub or wireless bridge. In this mode, they only switch their own contact. Extension switches that are wired to the connected switch can also be used in stand-alone mode | |
My smart hub or wireless bridge doesn’t work anymore | Consult the manuals of the wireless smart hub (552-00001) or wireless bridge 550-00640) at www.niko.eu | If the power of the smart hub or wireless bridge switches off, all 230 V connected devices will continue to operate in stand- alone mode. They will only switch or dim their own contact. Consult the respective product manuals to resolve the issue |
The connected switch cannot be found in the Niko Home app or programming software | The power supply is off | Switch on the power supply |
The distance between the connected switch and the smart hub or wireless bridge is too small | Make sure there is a distance of at least 2 meters between the device and the smart hub or wireless bridge | |
The distance between the connected switch and the smart hub, wireless bridge or another connected device is too big | Make sure there is a distance of maximum 10 meters between the device and the smart hub, wireless bridge or a subsequent 230 V connected Zigbee® device. To increase the range, add, for example, an additional smart socket outlet or Zigbee® extender to the network | |
There is no connection between the Niko Home app or laptop/pc and the smart hub or wireless bridge | Check the connection to the smart hub or wireless bridge. Consult the respective product manuals to resolve the issue | |
The load does not switch on | The miniature circuit breaker (MCB) of the lighting circuit is disabled or there is a short circuit | Check whether the lamp complies with the load specifications described in this manual |
The switch is defective | Replace the switch | |
The lamp is defective | Replace the lamp | |
The lamp does not switch off completely and displays an afterglow | The cabling is too long, which creates capacitive effects with leakage currents. Or you’re switching a low wattage lamp that is sensitive to leakage currents |
Install one or more LED compensators (310-05001) over the switched phase and the neutral wire |
