The 0-10 V Dimmer can be wired in a single pole installation with one switch controlling the light or in a larger set-up with 2 or 3 mechanical switches connected to the dimmer. We recommend using momentary switches, like the Zooz ZAC99 for best results.
Please read each diagram’s description carefully. Attempt the wiring yourself only if you’re confident in your electrical skills. Mistakes with 120V installations can be dangerous, it’s strongly recommended to hire a licensed electrician.
If you’d like custom instructions, just send us a few clear photos of each switch box. Make sure the entire box is visible so we can trace every wire. Always include your order number and photos of the original, fully working setup when contacting us for help.
PLEASE READ before you proceed with the installation:
- A 3-way is what we call 2-point control so 2 different switches controlling the same set of lights.
- These instructions can only be used with the ZEN54 0-10 V Dimmer model.
- You have to install the Zooz dimmer in the box with direct connection to power line and neutral.
- Always use simple momentary or on/off switches when connecting them to the Zooz relay. No dimmers or electronic switches with a LED indicator may be wired to Zooz relays.
- There are many different types of 3-way switches, some will have common terminals on top of the switch, some on the bottom. Always locate the common terminals first and adjust the orientation of the wires accordingly. Don't follow the diagrams blindly.
- The colors of your wires may not match the ones in our diagrams so please make sure you've identified all wires correctly based on their source, not color only.
- The diagrams show all connections but ground (it was excluded to simplify the illustration). Make sure all ground wires are connected to all wall switches respectively.
Once you're 100% sure you've identified the wires, please make sure power is off and wire the Zooz switch according to the instructions below.
These diagrams illustrate traditional 3-way and 4-way set-ups. But there are other creative wiring scenarios for 2 switch controls so if you're not able to match yours with the below drawings, please don't pick the closest option. Trial and error are not a good idea with high-voltage installations. Instead, reach out to us first for custom instructions.
ZOOZ 0-10 V DIMMER ZEN54 SINGLE POLE WIRING DIAGRAM
Some helpful notes:
- You can use a mechanical toggle on/off switch here for wall switch control. It will turn the light off and turn it back on to the last brightness level. You'll only be able to control brightness (dim) via Z-Wave.
- We recommend using the ZAC99 momentary switch with the ZEN54 0-10 V dimming so you can dim the light from the wall switch as well. It wires the same way as a toggle on/off switch, just as shown in the diagram below.
- If your local regulations allow it, you can bypass the wall switch and control the 0-10 V LED driver using your Z-Wave interface only. Simply cap off the yellow SW pigtail on the ZEN54 and bypass the connections to the wall switch.
- Take a close look at the diagram before you proceed - make sure you have all necessary connections to the LED driver available in the box, that includes both the 0-10 V connections as well as 120 V power to the driver.
ZOOZ 0-10 V DIMMER ZEN54 3-WAY WIRING DIAGRAM
Some helpful notes:
- You can only wire the ZEN54 in a 3-way with momentary switches. We recommend using the ZAC99 momentary switch. Remember that you'll need to change the wall switch type in the advanced settings to momentary (parameter 12).
- Take a close look at the diagram before you proceed - make sure you have all necessary connections to the LED driver available in the box, that includes both the 0-10 V connections as well as 120 V power to the driver. If you have load and line in separate boxes, you won't be able to install the ZEN54 with mechanical switches. But you can always add another Z-Wave switch for remote control of the ZEN54, similar to the virtual 3-ways we describe here.
ZOOZ 0-10 V DIMMER ZEN54 4-WAY WIRING DIAGRAM
Some helpful notes:
- You can only wire the ZEN54 in a 4-way with momentary switches. We recommend using the ZAC99 momentary switches. Remember that you'll need to change the wall switch type in the advanced settings of the ZEN54 to momentary (parameter 12).
- Take a close look at the diagram before you proceed - make sure you have all necessary connections to the LED driver available in the box, that includes both the 0-10 V connections as well as 120 V power to the driver.
