CAUTION
This is an electrical device – please use caution when installing and
operating the Universal Relay. Remote control of appliances may result in
unintentional or automated activation of power.
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.
WHAT’S WHAT
- S1 C: wall switch to control R1 or dry contact sensor to monitor leaks (max 40k Ohm when on), open/close status, or motion.
- C VC: 12-24 V DC / AC input to control R1. NEVER use C VC and S1 C together! Only one type of input can be used at any given time.
- S2 C: wall switch to control R2 or dry contact sensor to monitor leaks, open/close status, or motion.
- C VC: 12-24 V DC / AC input to control R2. NEVER use C VC and S1 C together! Only one type of input can be used at any given time.
- NC C R1: normally closed relay controlling any load up to 10 A.
- NO C R1: normally open relay controlling any load up to 20 A.
- NC C R2: normally closed relay controlling any load up to 10 A.
- NO C R2: normally open relay controlling any load up to 20 A.
WIRING EXAMPLE
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 ZEN17 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 the power supply to
- R1 C, the other leg from the 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)
POWER SUPPLY AT A TIME
Never use USB C and 12-24 V power supply together. A double power source will
damage the device.
INPUT TYPE AT A TIME
Never connect inputs to S1 C and VC C for the same relay. Each relay can only
have a single input type.
NO VOLTAGE ON “S” TERMINALS
The only input terminals that accept voltage are the C VC terminals.
