INSTALLATION

ZEN56 RGBW DIMMER BASIC WIRING DIAGRAM

WIRING: READ IT!

CHECK THE LOAD: Low voltage lights only (120 W total at 12 V DC or 240 W total at 24 V DC), DON’T CONNECT THIS RGBW DIMMER TO 120 VAC LIGHTS!
POWER OFF: Turn the circuit power off in the breaker panel before you start if you’re working with an electrical box or unplug the power supply from the receptacle if you’re working with a plugin adapter.
CHECK THE WIRES: If using a plug-free power adapter, you’ll need to connect it to line, neutral, and ground as indicated in the instructions for the device. Please make sure you identified all of these wires on your source romex cable or plug cable.
CONNECT THE POWER ADAPTER: If using a plug-free power adapter, make the connections from the 120 V AC power source to the appropriate line, neutral, and ground terminals on the power adapter. If using a plug-in power supply, skip this step.
CONNECT THE RGBW DIMMER: Use the pigtail wires on the RGBW dimmer to connect the power adapter. Connect the “+” positive terminal on the power supply with the “VDC+” brown pigtail on the RGBW Dimmer, and the “-” negative terminal on the power supply with the “GND -” black pigtail on the ZEN56. The LED indicator should start blinking green once the device is powered.
CONNECT THE RGBW LED STRIP: Connect the red, green, blue, and white wires from the LED strip with the R G B W pigtails on the dimmer. Use a wire nut to connect the power (usually black) wire from the LED strip with the “VDC +” brown pigtail on the RGBW Dimmer and the “+” positive terminal on the power supply.
CONNECT THE WALL SWITCH (OPTIONAL): Connect one of the terminals / screws on the wall switch with the S1 purple pigtail on the RGBW Dimmer. Use a wire nut to connect the other terminal / screw on the wall switch with connections to the “GND -” pigtail on the RGBW Dimmer and the “-” negative terminal on the power supply. Do NOT power the wall switch with 120 VAC! The RGBW Dimmer can be connected to regular on/off switches or momentary push-button switches (to enable dimming from the switch) only.
REVIEW ALL CONNECTIONS: Please verify that you’ve identified all wires and terminals correctly before restoring power to the adapter and testing the set-up. Make sure that a 24 V DC LED strip is powered by a 24 V DC power supply with enough power to handle the length of your LED strip. This is very important!

Z-WAVE CONTROL

There are 2 methods to add the dimmer to your hub:

SmartStart:
