1. General

The ZV700 combines the function of a manual lightswitch with
automatic timed control of lighting on a weekly basis available at the
slide of a switch. There is a further option of starting an automatic lighting
period at dusk but ending it in the usual way with a timed “OFF”.

Important Installation Instructions

IF IN DOUBT CONSULT AN
ELECTRICIAN.

Switch off mains electricity

Remove the existing light switch and transfer
the wires to the security switch according to
the following instructions.

If the switch is an ON/OFF two wire type,
those wires should be inserted into the

any earthing wire connected to the wallbox terminal. If the switch is a 2-WAY
switch, used in conjunction with a second light switch, it will have 3 wires.
In this case the wire originally connected to the COM terminal must be inserted
into the COM terminal, the remaining two wires connect to terminals L1 and L2

in either position.
If two wires are connected to any one terminal on the original switch, these should
be kept together and inserted into the corresponding single terminal on the Digital
Security Switch. Ensure that the terminal screws are tight before refitting the unit
to the wall box and turning on the mains electricity. Lower the hinged cover, move
the slide switch to the MANUAL position and check that the rocker switch operates
the lamp normally. The unit terminals are suitable for 1mm
conductors and stranded equivalents.

Note: The unit will replace any conventional single or
two way switch.
It cannot be used as an intermediate switch and cannot be used
in conjunction with a lamp dimmer in 2 way switching.
