Important safety information.

 

Please read this and other device guides carefully.The failure to follow the recommendations set forth by Aeotec Limited may be dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor, and / or reseller will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from not following any instructions in this guide or in other materials.

 

Keep product away from open flames and extreme heat. Avoid direct sun light or heat exposure.

110/120 volt editions of Nano Switch cannot exceed 15 amps. 220/230/240 volt editions should not exceed 10 amps. 

 

 

Install the Nano Switch.

 

 

Nano Switch installs behind a lighting switch or a momentary push button. It works with only 3-wire (with neutral) lighting setups, though each installation of Nano Switch is accordingly slightly different:

 

 

1. Shut off the main circuit breaker of your home for safety during the installation and ensure the wires are not short circuited during the installation which will cause damage to the Nano Switch.

 

 

 

Note: Your home’s main circuit breaker must support the overload protection for safety.

 

 

2. Preparing connection wires

 

14 AWG power wires for Input / Output.

18 AWG copper wires for external manual switch.

Use the wire stripper cut the metallic part of the  connection wire and make sure the length of the metallic part is about 5mm.

 

Note: All connection wires needs to be flexible cable.

In some cases, you may have some loads just only can be used on the voltage of 24VDC and hope that it still can be controlled by the Nano Switch, so please refer to the following diagram to achieve this:

 

(Compatible to Nano Switch without Energy Reading [ZW139] only).

 

  

Note: The “IN” terminal should be connected to the  “-” of 24VDC input.

Warning: Nano Switch ZW116 is not compatible with this configuration, you must use Nano Switch ZW139 without energy reading.

 

Wiring diagram of 24VDC power input.

Since the Nano Switch also supports the 24VDC power input, so you can use it to control the loads that powered by 24VDC.

 

         

If the output loads should be only powered by AC120V or AC230V, you can change the wire connection as below:

 

(Compatible to Nano Switch without Energy Reading [ZW139] only).

 

                

Note: The “IN” terminal should be connected to the “Live” of AC 120V/230V power wire.

 

All above wiring diagrams show that the Nano Switch uses 2-Way or momentary button switches as the external manual switch for 2-Way connection.

 

The below diagram will show you that the Nano Switch uses the SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) switches as the external manual switch for 3-Way connection.

3. Install Nano Switch to the gang box.

a. Live/Hot wire connection: Connect the Live/Hot  wire to the “L” terminal on the Nano Switch.

b. Neutral wire connection: Connect the Neutral wire to the “N” terminal on the Nano Switch. 

c. Load wire connection: Connect the Load wire  to the “OUT” on the Nano Switch. 

d. External/manual Switch connection: Connect 2 18AWG wires to the “S1” and “S2” on the  Nano Switch. 

e. External/manual Switch connection: Connect 2 18AWG wires form the 2 terminals on the External/manual Switch to the Live wire.

 

 

Note: This is the physical connection diagram for 120/230VAC power input.

4. Mounting the gang box.

 

1. Position all wires to provide room for the device. Place the Nano Switch inside the gang box towards the back of the box. 

2. Position the antenna towards the back of the box, away from all other wiring. 

3. Reinstall the Nano Switch to the gang box.

4. Reinstall the cover onto the gang box.

 

Note:  1. The gang box should be sized 3×2×2.75 inch / 75×50×70 mm or larger, minimum volume 14 in / 230cm . 

          2. Use flexible copper conductors only.

 

5. Restore Power.

 

Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse.
