CAUTION
This is an electrical device – please use caution when installing and
operating the relay. Remote control of appliances may result in unintentional
or automated activation of power.
Do not use this Z-Wave device to control electric heaters or other appliances
which produce the risk of fire, burns, or electrical shock when unattended.
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do
not install this unit to control a receptacle; a motor-operated appliance; a
fluorescent lighting fixture; or a transformer-supplied fixture.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
This relay is intended for installation in accordance with the National
Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a licensed
electrician perform this installation.
WIRING: READ IT!
-
CHECK THE LOAD: don’t exceed 150W for LED’s, 960W for incandescent, or 10 A for resistive loads, DO NOT CONNECT THIS RELAY TO SWITCHED RECEPTACLES.
-
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 SENDS US PICTURES OF YOUR SET-UP BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT WIRES. -
DISCONNECT THE OLD SWITCH: remove the wires and label them accordingly.
-
CONNECT THE Z-WAVE RELAY: follow all installation steps carefully. Wire the relay EXACTLY like in the diagram.
ON/OFF SWITCHES ONLY
Do not connect the Z-Wave relay to a wall dimmer, illuminated switch, or an
electronic add-on switch. The ZEN51 relay can only be wired with mechanical
on/off or momentary switches in single-pole, 3-way, or 4-way settings!
ZEN51 WIRING DIAGRAM FOR SINGLE POLE INSTALLATION
- Keep your existing wall switch connected to the ground.
- Connect the power source to the L black and IN blue pigtails on the ZEN51 and the load wire to the OUT red pigtail. Load and line CAN’T be swapped so make sure you identified them correctly!
- Connect the N white pigtail to the bundle of neutral wires.
- Connect the wall switch terminals to the S1 yellow pigtail on the ZEN51 and to the power source.

The relay won’t control the load manually anymore? Try this:
- Turn the power off at the breaker and check if a wire didn’t get loose.
- Exclude the relay 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 relay if possible
- Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (not sure how to do that? ask@getzooz.com)
- Click the Z-Wave button on the relay 3 times quickly (The LED indicator will start blinking green)
- Your hub will confirm exclusion, the LED indicator on the relay will turn green for 2 seconds, and the device will disappear from your controller’s device list.
FACTORY RESET
If your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the
device to factory settings. To reset the relay, click the Z-Wave button twice
and hold it for 15 seconds.
The LED indicator will flash during the process and turn red for 3 seconds to
confirm successful reset.
NOTE: All previously recorded activity and custom settings will be erased

ASSOCIATION
This on/off relay supports Group 1 with up to 5 devices for lifeline
communication and Group 2 with up to 5 devices. This device will send BASIC
REPORT and SWITCH BINARY REPORT to Group 1 and BASIC SET command to group 2
when operated manually from the wall switch. You can set direct association to
have the relay control another Z-Wave device independently of the hub by using
Group 2. Not every hub exposes direct association settings in the interface so
please go to www.support.getzooz.com to see
if your system allows for the direct association.
This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other
Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications.
All non-battery-operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters
regardless of vendor to increase the reliability of the network.
This product features the latest Security 2 (S2) framework to remove smart
home network hacking risks. This device is equipped with a unique
authentication code for trusted wireless communication.
