CAUTION

This is an electrical device - please use caution when installing and operating the relay. Remote control of appliances may result in unintentional or automated activation of power. Do not use this Z-Wave device to control electric heaters or other appliances which produce the risk of fire, burns, or electrical shock when unattended. To reduce risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install this unit to control a receptacle; a motor-operated appliance; a fluorescent lighting fixture; or a transformer-supplied fixture.

Before You Install: This relay is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a licensed electrician perform this installation.

WIRING: READ IT!

1. CHECK THE LOAD: don’t exceed 150W for LED’s, 960W for incandescent, or 10 A for resistive loads, DO NOT CONNECT THIS RELAY TO SWITCHED RECEPTACLES.

2. POWER OFF: turn the circuit power off in the breaker panel before you start. If installing in a multi-switch box with multiple circuits, turn power off at all of the circuits.

3. CHECK THE WIRES: mark load (most oen black), line (most oen black), neutral (most oen white), and ground (most oen bare). 14 AWG wires only! Don’t rely exclusively on your multimeter to identify the wires!

4. DISCONNECT THE OLD SWITCH: remove the wires and label them accordingly.

5. CONNECT THE Z-WAVE RELAY: follow all installation steps carefully. Wire the relay EXACTLY like in the diagram.

NOTE: On/Off Switches Only!: Do not connect the Z-Wave relay to a wall dimmer, illuminated switch, or an electronic add-on switch. The ZEN51 relay can only be wired with mechanical on/off or momentary switches in single pole, 3-way, or 4-way settings.

WARNING

This product should be installed indoors upon completion of any building renovations.
Prior to installation, the device should be stored in a dry, dustand-mold-proof place.
Do not install the relay in a place with direct sun exposure, high temperature, or humidity.
Keep away from chemicals, water, and dust.
Ensure the device is never close to any heat source or open flame to prevent fire.
Ensure the device is connected to an electric power source that does not exceed the maximum load power.
No part of the device may be replaced or repaired by the user.

ZEN51 WIRING DIAGRAM FOR SINGLE POLE INSTALLATION

1. Keep your existing wall switch connected to ground.

2. Connect the power source to the L black and IN blue pigtails on the ZEN51 and the load wire to OUT red pigtail. Load and line CAN’T be swapped so make sure you identified them correctly!

3. Connect the N white pigtail to the bundle of neutral wires.

4. Connect the wall switch terminals to the S1 yellow pigtail on the ZEN51 and to the power source.

COMPLETE INSTALLATION

Secure your Z-Wave relay and the wall switch in the box with mounting screws, handling the wires with care. Install the wall plate and restore power to the circuit.

TEST THE RELAY

The LED indicator should start blinking green when you turn the power back on. Toggle the switch connected to the relay to check if the load changes state. If the test fails, please check that:

power is fully restored to the circuit
wiring matches the instructions exactly
the load isn’t too large and overheating the relay causing it to shut off

Z-WAVE CONTROL

1. ADD DEVICE to your hub: Initiate inclusion (pairing) in the app (or web interface). Not sure how? Click the appropriate link below for hub-specific instructions.

2. Finalize inclusion at the relay.

Classic Inclusion: Click the Z-Wave button 3 times as quickly as possible if using traditional Z-Wave inclusion. The LED indicator should begin flashing green rapidly. The LED indicator will then turn green for 2 seconds if inclusion is successful or turn red for 2 seconds if the pairing attempt fails.

Z-Wave Long Range / SmartStart Inclusion: Ensure you DO NOT power on the ZEN51 until you have initiated inclusion on your Z-Wave hub. Scan the QR code and enter the 5 digin pin. Power on the ZEN51 only when your hub UI indicates to.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The relay won’t add to your system? Try this:

1. Initiate EXCLUSION and click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly.

2. FACTORY RESET the device.

3. Bring the gateway controller (hub) closer to the relay, it may be out of range.

The relay won’t control the load manually anymore? Try this:

1. Turn the power off at the breaker and check if a wire didn’t get loose.

2. Exclude the relay from the hub or reset it in case manual control was accidentally disabled.

3. The load may be incompatible so try it with a single incandescent bulb.

EXCLUSION

1. Bring your Z-Wave gateway (hub) close to the relay if possible

2. Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (not sure how to do that? [email protected])

3. Click the Z-Wave button on the relay 3 times quickly (the LED indicator will start blinking green)

4. Your hub will confirm exclusion, the LED indicator on the relay will turn green for 2 seconds, and the device will disappear from your controller's device list.

ASSOCIATION

This on/off relay supports Group 1 with up to 5 devices for Lifeline Group communication and Group 2 with up to 5 devices. This device will send BASIC REPORT and SWITCH BINARY REPORT to Group 1 and BASIC SET command to group 2 when operated manually from the wall switch. You can set direct association to have the relay control another Z-Wave device independently of the hub by using Group 2. Not every hub exposes direct association settings in the interface so please go to www.support.getzooz.com to see if your system allows for direct association.
