BEFORE YOU INSTALL

This device is intended for installation by the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a licensed electrician perform this installation. USE A SINGLE POWER SOURCE AT ALL TIMES.

HOW TO SECURE WIRES IN TERMINALS:

First, unscrew the appropriate terminal’s screw just far enough so there is a clear opening in the terminal for the wire to go in.
Make sure the wire is stripped at the right length and perfectly straight before you insert it into the terminal.
Once you put the wire in the terminal, carefully screw the terminal screw back in to hold down the wire.
Check the connection by gently pulling on the connected wire to make sure it’s fixed securely.

POWER THE UNIVERSAL RELAY:

Connect the USB C power source to the MultiRelay or use the “+” “-” terminals on the device to bring low voltage power to it.
Never use both at the same time.
In both cases, you’ll need a standard 1 A power adapter to plug into a standard 120 VAC receptacle.
Do NOT use with laptop or tablet chargers, they require a large battery on load to activate

WIRING: READ IT!

CHECK THE LOAD: make sure that the connected appliance does not exceed 20 A for normally open relays or 10 A for normally closed relays.
POWER OFF: turn the circuit power off in the breaker panel before you start. If handling wiring from a box with multiple circuits, turn the power off at all of the circuits.
REMOVE THE WALL SWITCH: if the load is currently controlled by a wall switch, carefully remove it from the box and disconnect the wires from the switch.
CONNECT THE UNIVERSAL RELAY: follow the instructions in the appropriate diagram for your set-up. If you can’t find your scenario in the diagrams below, please request custom instructions from our support team, we’re happy to help: ask@getzooz.com.

WIRING TIPS

TAKE PICTURES
- Before you disconnect any wires, document your set-up and send us images of your existing installation so we can help if needed.
GATHER YOUR TOOLS
- Always use the correct screwdriver size for the terminal screws on your Universal Relay and wall switches (if connecting them).
- Use appropriate electrical tools when cutting, prepping, and stripping electrical wires.
- If you don’t have the necessary tools to perform the installation or are not sure which tools to use or how, please hire an electrician to complete the installation for you.
SAFETY FIRST
- Follow the National Electrical Code and your local safety regulations when performing the installation, including (but not limited to), choosing the correct gauge of jumper wires.
- The recommended gauge for 15 Amp circuits is 14 AWG and 12 AWG for 20 Amp circuits.

WIRING GUIDE

Here are some general wiring examples of how to use the ZEN16 dry contact relays in the most popular applications. Please make sure you understand how dry contact relays work before proceeding and always request a diagram or custom instructions from us if you’re not sure how to complete your installation. Please do NOT experiment or attempt trial-and-error installation!

GARAGE DOOR OPENER: 2 bell wires from the opener to R1 C and R1
NO; 2 wires from the wall switch to S1 and C.
DOOR SENSOR INPUT: open/close sensor wires to S1 and C.
POOL PUMP: 120 / 220 V to R1 C, neutral to neutral, pump (load) to R1 NO.
WHOLE-HOUSE FAN: 120 V to R1 C, neutral to neutral, fan low speed to R1 NO; fan high speed to R2 NO.
LANDSCAPE LOW-VOLTAGE LIGHTING: one leg from power supply to R1 C, the other leg from power supply to lights; R1 NO to the other input on the lights.
SPRINKLERS: one leg from the power supply to R1 C, the other leg from the power supply to the sprinkler valve; R1 NO to the other input on the valve. Automate up to 2 zones with R1 and R2.
LOW-VOLTAGE ALARM INPUT: 12-24 V wires to C and VC terminals.
LEAK ALARM INPUT: water sensor wires to S1 and C (max 40k Ohm)

1 POWER SUPPLY AT A TIME

Never use USB C and 12-24 V power supply together. A double power source will damage the device.

1 INPUT TYPE AT A TIME
