WIRING: READ IT!
- CHECK THE LOAD: lights only (100W for LEDs, 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 installed in a multi-switch box with multiple circuits, turn the 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!

ZEN74 WIRING DIAGRAM FOR SINGLE POLE INSTALLATION
- Insert the ground (bare) wire into the Ground terminal (not shown in the diagram)
- Insert the power source wire to the Line terminal and load wire to the Load terminal. Load and line CAN’T be swapped so make sure you identified them correctly!
- Run the white jumper (included in the box) from the bundle of white wires to the Neutral terminal
HOW TO INSTALL THE WIRES
- LIFT SCREW: carefully pull the screw away from the switch to make sure it’s loose. DO NOT force it. NO POWER TOOLS!
- PRESS DOWN: press the loose screw down with your finger so it catches the thread.
- INSERT WIRE: make sure the wire is perfectly straight, then insert it into the terminal while holding the screw down. DO NOT wrap wires around the terminal screws!
- TIGHTEN: turn the screw clockwise to tighten the wire. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
COMPLETE INSTALLATION
- Secure your Z-Wave® switch in the box with mounting screws, handling the wires with care.
- Always use the supplied short screws! Install the wall plate and restore power to the circuit
TEST THE SWITCH
The LED indicator will not light up when you turn the power back on, that’s normal. Toggle the switch up for ON and toggle it down for OFF. If the test fails, please check that:
- power is fully restored to the circuit
- wiring matches the instructions exactly
- the load isn’t too large and overheating the switch causes it to shut off

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
FACTORY RESET
If your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the
device to factory settings. To reset the switch, hold the toggle DOWN for 10
seconds until the LED indicator starts blinking. Release the toggle, and
immediately aer, toggle the switch DOWN 5 times to complete the reset. The LED
indicator will flash blue 3 times and turn red for 3 seconds to confirm a
successful reset.

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 before 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 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!
ZEN74 WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THE MOST COMMON 4-WAY INSTALLATION
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.
The Simple Direct 3-Way/4-Way implemented in this device is a unique Z-Wave® multi-point control solution covered under U.S. Patent 10,219,353 B1.
