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. 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:

Power is fully restored to the circuit
Wiring matches the instructions exactly
The load isn’t too large and overheating the switch causing it
to shut off

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: [email protected]

ZEN76 / ZEN77

ON/OFF SWITCHES ONLY
Do not connect Zooz Z-Wave switches 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 3way 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 ZEN76 and ZEN77 models ONLY!

MORE COLOR?
The white paddles on the ZEN77 dimmer can be replaced for a different color! Please get in touch with our support to check which colors are currently available and how to order replacement paddles. Zooz switches will match the shade of standard Leviton switches and wall plates available at any major retailer.

RANGE TEST TOOL
You can now easily check if the switch is within your Z-Wave hub’s range: Press and hold the lower paddle for 10 seconds until the LED indicator starts blinking. Release the paddle and within 2 seconds, tap the lower paddle 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.
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.
