CAUTION

This is an electrical device - please use caution when installing and
operating the on/off switch. 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 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 switch 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!

1. CHECK THE LOAD: lights only (150W for LED’s/CFL’s, 600W for
incandescent), DON’T CONNECT THIS SWITCH TO FANS.

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 oen black), line (most oen
black), neutral (most oen white), and ground (most oen bare). 14AWG
wires only! Don’t rely exclusively on your multimeter to identify the

wires!

4. REMOVE THE OLD SWITCH: disconnect the wires and label them.

5. CONNECT THE Z-WAVE SWITCH: follow all installation steps

carefully. Wire the switch EXACTLY like in the diagram.

3.

1. UNSCREW: carefully turn the screw counter

clockwise to make space for the wire. DO NOT
unscrew completely.

2. PRESS DOWN: once it’s loose, press the screw
down with your finger so it catches the thread.

3. 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!

4. 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.
For multi-gang-box installations, you may need
to break the side tabs off with pliers to fit the
switch next to the neighboring switches.
Install the wall plate and restore power to the
circuit.

TEST THE SWITCH

The LED indicator should light up as soon as you turn the power back on if
the switch (light) is OFF. Tap the upper paddle for ON and lower paddle for
OFF. If the test fails, please check that:

Ÿ power is fully restored to the circuit
Ÿ wiring matches the instructions exactly
Ÿ the type of load is approved and within the specs of this switch

ZEN26 WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR THE MOST COMMON 3-WAY INSTALLATIONS

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 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.

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: [e-mail]

For more diagrams or to request custom
instructions go to support.getzooz.com

ON/OFF SWITCHES ONLY

Do not connect Zooz Z-Wave switches to an
existing 3-way dimmer 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 S2 switch in the
box with direct connection to power line.
Diagrams and instructions in this manual
are for ZEN26 and ZEN27 models ONLY!

don’t see your wiring set-up here, get in touch! We

For more diagrams or to request custom
