WIRING: READ IT!

Not sure what you're seeing? We'll help! Send us pictures of your set-up, before you disconnect any wires!

1. CHECK THE LOAD: lights only (150W for LED’s, 600W for incandescent), DON’T CONNECT THIS SWITCH TO OUTLETS OR TUBE LIGHTS.

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 often black), line (most often black), neutral (most often white), and ground (most often bare). 14 AWG wires only! Don’t rely exclusively on your multimeter to identify the wires!

4. REMOVE THE OLD SWITCH: disconnect the wires and label them with the included label stickers.

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

HOW TO INSTALL THE WIRES

1. LIFT SCREW: carefully pull the screw away from the switch to make sure it’s loose. DO NOT force it. NO POWER TOOLS!

2. PRESS DOWN: press the loose screw down with your finger so it catches the thread.

3. INSERT WIRE: make sure the wire is perfectly straight, then insert it into the terminal while holding the screw down. DO NOT wrap wires around the terminal screws!

4. TIGHTEN: turn the screw clockwise to tighten the wire. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

 

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

Secure your Z-Wave switch in the box with mounting screws, handling the wires with care. Isolate all bare wires and screws with electrical tape. Install the wall plate and 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 tap it again for OFF. If the test fails, please check that: Ÿ power is fully restored to the circuit Ÿ wiring matches the instructions exactly Ÿ the load isn’t too large and overheating the switch causing it to shut off.

ZEN32 SINGLE POLE WIRING DIAGRAM

 

ZEN32 3-WAY WIRING DIAGRAMS

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. Diagrams and instructions in this manual are for the ZEN32 model ONLY! Always follow the correct diagram for your own safety and to avoid equipment damage. Other Zooz switches may wire differently!

 

 

 

ZEN32 4-WAY WIRING DIAGRAM (LOAD AND LINE MUST BE IN THE SAME BOX)

FOLLOW THE DIAGRAM: Don’t follow the wire colors blindly - make sure you understand the role of each wire before moving forward with the installation. The colors used in this diagram are just an example of the many scenarios you’ll come across in multi-point control set-ups. Follow this diagram ONLY if you confirmed you have direct connection to power and light in the same box. If they’re in separate boxes, ask us about using the ZEN32 switch with ZAC99 momentary switches in 4-way and 5-way installations: [email protected].

 

 

NEED HELP?: If you’re having trouble reading the diagrams or don’t see your wiring set-up here, get in touch! We have more 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way diagrams and instructions. There are many ways to wire multi-point control set-ups so unless you can match your wiring to the diagrams here, please don’t attempt the installation for your own safety.

Z-WAVE CONTROL

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

SmartStart:

  1. REMOVE POWER FROM THE DEVICE.

  2. Use the hub UI / app to scan the SmartStart code on the device. The SmartStart QR code / security PIN is located on the front metal plate of the switch and on the box.

  3. Once completed, power on the device for SmartStart inclusion; it will be added automatically.

  4. Do NOT click any of the buttons on the device during the process. (Except for SmartThings, you may need to click the upper paddle 3 times). See below for hub-specific instructions.

Manual Inclusion:

  1. Initiate inclusion (pairing) in the app or hub UI.

  2. Make sure the device is powered and finalize the inclusion at the device: click the main button 3 times quickly. 

  3. The LED indicator will blink blue to signal communication and turn green for 3 seconds if inclusion is successful or turn red for 3 seconds if the pairing attempt fails.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

  1. Initiate EXCLUSION and tap the switch button 3 times quickly.

  2. Tap the switch button 4-5 times quickly when adding it.

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

  4. Get troubleshooting tips for your hub at www.support.getzooz.com

The switch won’t control the lights manually anymore? Try this:

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

  2. Exclude the switch 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 (REMOVING / UNPAIRING DEVICE)

  1. Bring your Z-Wave gateway (hub) close to the switch if possible.
  2. Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode. 
  3. Tap the switch button 3 times quickly (the LED indicator will start blinking blue).
  4. Your hub will confirm exclusion, the LED indicator on the switch will turn green for 3 seconds, and the device will disappear from your controller's device list

PROGRAMMING

There are 2 ways you can use the buttons on the Scene Controller to control other Z-Wave devices in your network:

Scene Control:

  • Great to trigger preset scenes with multiple devices
  • Perfect for smart bulb control and non Z-Wave devices
  • Supports 1-tap, 2-tap, 3-tap, 4-tap, 5-tap, button held, and button released for each button

2. Direct Association:

  • Great to control other Z-Wave devices directly
  • Perfect for Z-Wave smart bulb control or as a virtual add-on for existing Z-Wave switches and dimmers
  • Use only for Z-Wave devices included with the same security level as your Scene Controller
  • Supports 1-tap for on/off control (Group 2) and button held/released for dimming (Group 3), working in a sequence: press once to change state or hold to dim / increase brightness

Programming your Scene Controller using either of the above methods will depend on the capabilities and interface layout of your Z-Wave system. Check out the links below for steps to program the Scene Controller on your hub:
