WIRING: READ IT!

1. CHECK THE LOAD: lights only (150W for LED’s, 500W 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! NOT SURE WHAT YOU’RE SEEING? WE’LL HELP! SUPPORT.GETZOOZ.COM SEND US PICTURES OF YOUR SET-UP, BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT 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.

ZEN72 WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR THE MOST COMMON 3-WAY INSTALLATIONS

3-WAY DIAGRAM FOR 2-POINT CONTROL WITH ZEN72 AND REGULAR 3-WAY SWITCH: OPTION 1

STOP!
Wire and screw position, as well as color codes, are for illustration only. You should not follow the colours 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: ask@getzooz.com

3-WAY DIAGRAM FOR 2-POINT CONTROL WITH ZEN72 AND REGULAR 3-WAY SWITCH: OPTION 2

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 simplity 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 ZEN71 and ZEN72 models ONLY!

ZEN72 4-WAY INSTALLATION WIRING DIAGRAM (LINE AND LOAD MUST BE IN THE

SAME BOX)

NOTE: Use regular 3-way on/off switches ONLY in this set-up (replace any 4-way switches or 3-way dimmers if needed). 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.

CHECK 3-WAY / 4-WAY TYPE!
Your 3-way and 4-way switches may have a different terminal layout so identify the in and out terminals on the 4-way switch and the common terminal on the 3-way switch before the installation.

EACH BOX NEEDS TO BE REWIRED ACCORDING TO THE 4-WAY DIAGRAM.
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, use the ZEN27 / ZEN77 model instead or ask us about using the ZEN72 dimmer with ZAC99 momentary switches in 4-way and 5-way installations. If you have power or load coming into the box with the 4-way switch, contact us for custom instructions: ask@getzooz.com

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. www.support.getzooz.com ask@getzooz.com

The white paddles on the ZEN72 switch can be replaced for a different color! Please get in touch with our support to check which colors are currently available and how to order replacement paddles. Zooz switches will match the shade of standard Leviton switches and wall plates available at any major retailer.

RANGE TEST TOOL
You can now easily check if the switch is within your Z-Wave hub’s range:
Press and hold the lower paddle for 10 seconds until the LED indicator starts blinking. Release the paddle and within 2 seconds, tap the lower paddle 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.

USE IT WITH SMART BULBS!
