This switch is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a licensed electrician perform this installation.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
-
CHECK THE LOAD: lights only (100W for LED’s, 300W for incandescent), DON’T CONNECT THIS SWITCH TO OUTLETS OR TUBE LIGHTS.
-
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 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!
NOT SURE WHAT YOU’RE SEEING? WE’LL HELP! SUPPORT.GETZOOZ.COM SEND US PICTURES OF YOUR SET-UP, BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT WIRES -

TROUBLESHOOTING
The dimmer won’t add to your system? Try this:
- Initiate EXCLUSION and toggle the dimmer down 3 times quickly.
- Toggle the dimmer up 4-5 times quickly when adding it.
- Bring the gateway controller (hub) closer to the dimmer, it may be out of range.
- Get troubleshooting tips for your hub at www.support.getzooz.com
The light doesn’t turn on when toggled up?
- Turn the power off at the breaker and check if a wire didn’t get loose.
- Slide the air gap switch located under the toggle to the right to make sure power is going to the bulbs.
- Exclude the dimmer from the hub or reset it in case manual control was accidentally disabled.
- The load may be incompatible so try it with a single incandescent bulb.
EXCLUSION (REMOVING / UNPAIRING DEVICE)
- Bring your Z-Wave gateway (hub) close to the switch if possible
- Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (not sure how to do that? ask@getzooz.com)
- Toggle the dimmer down 3 times quickly (the LED indicator will start blinking blue)
- 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

INSTALLATIONS
ZEN74 WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR THE MOST COMMON 3-WAY INSTALLATIONS
For more diagrams or to request custom instructions go to support.getzooz.com
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.
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: ask@getzooz.com
ON/OFF SWITCHES ONLY
Do not connect Zooz Z-Wave dimmers to an existing 3-way dimmer, illuminated switch, or an electronic add-on switch. Zooz switches can only be wired with mechanical on/off 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. Always install your Zooz ZEN74 dimmer in the box with direct connection to power line. Diagrams and instructions in this manual are for ZEN73 and ZEN74 models ONLY!

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.
RANGE TEST TOOL
You can now easily check if the switch is within your Z-Wave hub’s range: Press and hold the toggle down for 10 seconds until the LED indicator starts blinking. Release the toggle and within 2 seconds, toggle it down again 2 times quickly. The LED indicator will then report signal strength.
- Solid green = direct communication with the primary controller is stable
- Flashing green = direct communication with the primary controller is established but signal is weak
- Solid blue = stable communication with hub via repeaters
- Flashing blue = communication with the primary controller is established via repeaters but signal is weak
- Solid red = communication with the primary controller has failed
Tap the lower paddle to exit testing mode.
NOTE: This function may only be activated once the switch has been included to a Z-Wave network
VIRTUAL 3-WAY & 4-WAY
The diagrams above show how to wire your smart switch with existing mechanical switches. In certain scenarios you may want to use multiple Zooz switches in a 3-way or 4-way installation though. We have custom instructions and dedicated diagrams for this type of set-up published in the Support Portal. Simply scan this QR code and click on the link to access support articles for virtual 3-way and 4-way set-ups using multiple Zooz switches
