Installation and Wiring Guide:
- Turn off the power at the breaker box.
- Label the phase, neutral, earth, and other load wires in the wall console box.
- Study the terminal labels on the product's wiring sticker to ensure correct wire connections.
- Connect the wires to their designated terminals as indicated below:
- Neutral (N): Powers the device.
- Earth (E): Ground connection.
- Phase 1 (P1) UPS/EB: Primary power supply.
- Light 1-2 (L1, L2): Control for individual lights.
- Phase 2 (P2) EB: Socket input.
- High-Load (H): Manages high-wattage devices.
- Phase 3 (P3): Alternative power source or looped with P1.
- Phase 4 (P4): Power or load for the two-way switch.
- Terminals 1 & 2 (T1 & T2): Two-way switch configuration points.
- Check the wiring setup video for your specific type at home. Ensure all connections are correct, secure, and free of loose strands.
- Use insulation tape to secure exposed terminals and wire joints.
- Use a prying tool to carefully remove the glass panel without touching the circuit board.
- Insert the enclosure into the 8-module metal console box and secure it using the provided screws (M3.5*30mm).
- Align the top glass with the enclosure and press it firmly to lock it in place, ensuring that all four corners are securely locked.
- Restore power and test the switch for proper functionality.

Wiring Setup Scenarios:
Type 1: Two Power Sources (EB + UPS and Common Neutral)
- The phases for EB and UPS will remain separate.
- The neutral line will be common for both EB and UPS.
-
In the above scenario, the phase and neutral connections will be as follows:
- The UPS phase is connected to P1, providing power to the device and two loads (L1 and L2).
- The UPS phase is connected to P2, providing power to the plug and ensuring an earth point (E) is connected for the plug.
- The EB phase is connected to P3, supplying power to the high load (H).
- The common neutral will be connected to N.
Type 2: Common Phase (EB or UPS and Common Neutral)
- The P1, P2, and P3 phases share the same phase line, either from the EB or UPS.
- The P1 phase is the primary power supply.
- Establish a loop connection from the P1 phase to the P2 and P3 phases to create a common phase line.
-
In this scenario, the phase and neutral connections will be as follows:
- The EB or UPS phase is connected to P1, providing power to the device and two loads (L1 and L2).
- The P1 phase is looped to P2, supplying power to the plug and ensuring an earth point (E) is connected for the plug.
- The P1 phase is looped to P3, supplying power to the high load (H).
- The common neutral will be connected to N
Type 3: Common Phase(EB or UPS) but different Load Capacity
- The P1, P2, and P3 phases share the same phase line but have different load capacities, such as 6A and 16A, respectively.
- The P1 phase is the primary power supply.
-
In this scenario, the phase and neutral connections will be as follows:
- P1 is responsible for 6A load variants. The EB or UPS phase is connected to P1, providing power to the device and two loads (L1 and L2).
- The P1 phase is looped to P2, supplying power to the plug and ensuring an earth point (E) is connected for the plug.
- P3 is responsible for 16A load variants. The EB phase is connected to P3, providing power to the high load (H).
- The common neutral will be connected to N.
Type 4: Different Phase and Different Neutral
- P1, P2, and P3 have different phases: one from the generator or solar, and the other from the EB.
- The neutral line will be different for both the generator/solar and the EB.
-
In this scenario, the phase and neutral connections will be as follows:
- The generator phase is connected to P1, providing power to the device and two loads (L1 and L2).
- The P1 phase is looped to P2, supplying power to the plug and ensuring an earth point (E) is connected for the plug.
- The EB phase is connected to P3, providing power to the high load (H).
- Common neutrals are connected to both P1 and P2, whereas P3 has its own separate neutral.
Type 5: Additional Customization for High Load Output Using External Relay (Common Neutral)
- The phases for EB and UPS will remain separate.
- The neutral line will be common for both EB and UPS.
-
In the above scenario, the phase and neutral connections will be as follows:
- The UPS phase is connected to P1, providing power to the device and two loads (L1 and L2).
- The UPS phase is connected to P2, providing power to the plug and ensuring an earth point (E) is connected for the plug.
- The EB phase is connected to P3, supplying power to the high load (H).
- The common neutral will be connected to N.
- To externally control high loads through an existing power switch (e.g., from L2, 6A), add a 40A relay for external supply control.
-
In the above scenario, the connections for the relay will be as follows:
- The phase for the relay is from L2.
- The relay IN is directly connected from the DB phase.
- Then the relay OUT is connected to the AC load.
- The common neutral (N) will be connected for both the relay and the AC load.
Note: Implement this solution only with accurate information from the official technical support team.
Two-way Switch Connection:
iotics Switch and iotics or Regular Switch:
- In our iotics switch (4S1P), a two-way terminal is provided at the bottom of the enclosure.
- We have 3 terminals: T1, P4, and T2.
-
In the above scenario, the connections will be as follows:
- Connect the P4 terminal of one iotics switch to the DB phase.
- Connect the T1 terminal of the iotics switch to the T1 terminal of a iotics/regular switch.
- Connect the T2 terminal of the iotics switch to the T2 terminal of the iotics/regular switch.
- Connect the phase terminal of the regular switch to the light load.
- The common neutral will be connected to N.
