SAFETY FIRST

Wire colors and romex layout are for illustration only. You should not follow the colors and positioning in the illustration blindly. Always identify all wires prior to installing Zooz switches and make sure you can match the diagrams to your set-up exactly. Don’t experiment or attempt a “trial-and-error” installation for your own safety. Always cap any exposed wires and isolate electrical elements with appropriate protectiction.

WIRING: READ IT!

Not sure what you're seeing? Send images of the fully working installation before you disconnect the wires to support.getzooz.com.

CHECK THE LOAD: make sure that the load you’re about to connect is within the electrical specs of this switch listed on the back of the device. Connect to light fixtures only.
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.
CHECK THE WIRES: mark load (most oen black), line (most oen black), neutral (most oen white), and ground (most oen bare). Don’t rely exclusively on your multimeter to identify the wires!
REMOVE THE OLD SWITCH: disconnect the wires and label them with the included label stickers.
CONNECT THE Z-WAVE SWITCH: follow all installation steps carefully. Wire the switch EXACTLY like in the diagram.

ZEN12 WIRING DIAGRAM FOR SINGLE POLE INSTALLATION

Connect the ground (bare) wire with the green Ground pigtail on the switch (ground wires aren’t shown in the diagram).
Connect the power source wire with the black Line pigtail and load wire to the yellow Load pigtail. Load and line CAN’T be swapped, don’t attempt unless you’re 100% sure!
Connect the white Neutral pigtail to the neutral wire bundle. Cap the red Traveler pigtail on the switch.

COMPLETE INSTALLATION

Secure your Z-Wave switch in the box with mounting screws, handling the wires with care. Isolate all bare wires with electrical tape. Install the wall plate and only now restore power to circuit.

TEST THE SWITCH

The LED indicator should light up as soon as you turn the power back on if the switch (light) is OFF. Tap the switch button for ON and OFF, hold the horizontal buttons below to dim or increase brightness. 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 causing emergency shut off

HOW IT WORKS

PHYSICAL CONTROL

TAP THE TOP BUTTON for on/off control of the connected lights. The light will turn on to the last brightness level by default. You can change that behavior in the advanced settings (see below for details).

HOLD THE LEFT DIMMING BUTTON to decrease brightness of the controlled light and HOLD THE RIGHT DIMMING BUTTON to increase brightness. If installed upside down with motion sensor on top, the dimming buttons will work in reverse. This behavior can be adjusted in the advanced settings.

DEFAULT BEHAVIOR

The motion dimmer will automatically turn on the light it controls when motion is detected. It will automatically turn the light off aer 30 seconds from the last detected motion event. Wait 1 minute aer power-up for the motion sensor to warm up before it starts detecting activity. If you’d like to change this behavior, you can adjust it in the advanced settings of the switch. There, you’ll be able to decide if, when, and how the built-in motion sensor triggers your dimmer. This includes the time of inactivity, the brightness level for “night mode”, as well as lux level offset and motion sensitivity. See below how to access and changed the advanced settings for this device on your Z-Wave hub.

ZEN12 WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR THE MOST COMMON 3-WAY INSTALLATIONS

STOP!: Wire and screw position, as well as color codes are for illustration only. You should not follow the colors and positioning in the illustration blindly. Always identify all wires prior to installing Zooz switches and make sure you can match the diagrams to your set-up exactly. Don’t experiment or attempt a “trial-and-error” installation for your own safety. Don’t disconnect any wires before documenting your set-up in each box with detailed images!

NOTE!: If you are not comfortable identifying the wiring and completing the installation, please consult a licensed electrician. Make sure you have identified all wiring correctly before connecting the switch. If your wiring doesn’t match any of the below diagrams, contact our support: [email protected]

ON/OFF SWITCHES ONLY: Do not connect Zooz Z-Wave switches to an existing 3-way dimmer, illuminated switch, or an electronic add-on switch. Zooz switches can only be wired with mechanical on/off or momentary switches in a 3-way or 4-way setting! To simplify the diagrams, we did not include connections for the ground wire. Remember that all Zooz switches need to be wired according to the electrical code, with ground wire connected to the ground terminal.

POWER OFF!: Cut power to the circuit before handling the wiring. Always install your Zooz switch in the box with direct connection to power line. Diagrams and instructions in this manual are for ZEN12 model ONLY!
