4. Configuración e instalación
4.1 Encendido del dispositivo
The ZEN16 MultiRelay can be powered in two ways:
- USB C (5V DC): Connect a standard USB C cable to the port on the side of the device and to a 5V power supply (not included). Ensure the power supply provides sufficient current.
- 12-24 V AC/DC: Connect a 12-24 V AC or DC power source to the '+' and '-' terminals on the device. Observe polarity for DC power.
Important: Do not use 110 V AC to power the device. Only use 5V DC via USB C or 12-24 V AC/DC via the screw terminals.
4.2 Cableado ExampLos
The ZEN16 MultiRelay uses dry contact relays, meaning it acts as a switch to complete or break a circuit without providing its own voltage to the controlled device. Always ensure power is disconnected before wiring.
4.2.1 Garage Door Opener Wiring
To automate a garage door, connect the ZEN16's relay terminals to the wall button terminals on your garage door opener. The ZEN16 will simulate a button press.
Image 4.1: Wiring diagram illustrating how to connect the ZEN16 MultiRelay to up to three garage door openers. Power is supplied via USB C or 12-24V AC/DC, and the relay outputs (R1, R2, R3) are connected to the opener's bell wire terminals. Optional external switches (SW1, SW2, SW3) are shown connected to the relay inputs.
4.2.2 Gas Fireplace Millivolt Valve Wiring
For gas fireplaces with a millivolt valve, connect the ZEN16's relay terminals in series with the existing wall switch or directly to the valve's thermostat terminals.
Image 4.2: Wiring diagram demonstrating the connection of the ZEN16 MultiRelay to a gas fireplace millivolt valve. The relay output (R1) is connected to the valve's terminals, and an optional wall switch is connected to the SW1 input for manual control.
4.2.3 Pool Light and Pump Wiring
The ZEN16 can control low-voltage pool lights and pumps by integrating its relays into their control circuits.
Image 4.3: Wiring diagram showing how to connect the ZEN16 MultiRelay to control a pool light and a pool pump. Relay outputs (R1, R2) are used to switch the power source for the light and pump, respectively. Corresponding external switches are connected to SW1 and SW2.
4.3 Inclusión de Z-Wave (emparejamiento)
To integrate the ZEN16 into your Z-Wave network, a Z-Wave hub is required. Follow your hub's instructions for including a new Z-Wave device.
- Power the ZEN16: Ensure the MultiRelay is powered using either USB C or 12-24 V AC/DC.
- Initiate Inclusion Mode: Put your Z-Wave hub into inclusion (pairing) mode.
- Activate ZEN16 Pairing: Press the Z-Wave button on the ZEN16 three times quickly. The LED indicator will flash to confirm inclusion mode.
- Confirmación: Your hub should detect and add the device. The LED will turn solid green if successful.
For SmartStart inclusion, scan the QR code on the device or packaging with your hub's app if supported.
Note: Some hubs (e.g., Wink, Ring, Vivint, ADT Pulse) may offer partial control or require custom device handlers. Refer to the Zooz support page for specific hub compatibility and driver information.
5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
Once successfully paired with your Z-Wave hub, the ZEN16 MultiRelay can be controlled wirelessly. Each of the three relays will appear as a separate switch in your Z-Wave interface.
- Control inalámbrico: Use your Z-Wave hub's interface or associated smart home app to turn each relay (R1, R2, R3) on or off independently.
- Control manual: If external momentary or toggle switches are connected to SW1, SW2, or SW3, you can manually activate the corresponding relays.
- Automatización: Configure scenes, schedules, and automations within your Z-Wave hub to control the relays based on time, sensor input, or other events.
6. Configuración avanzada
The ZEN16 MultiRelay supports various Z-Wave configuration parameters that allow customization of its behavior. Accessing and modifying these parameters typically requires an advanced Z-Wave hub (e.g., Hubitat, Home Assistant, SmartThings with custom drivers).
Common configurable parameters include:
- Tipo de interruptor: Configure SW1, SW2, SW3 inputs as momentary or toggle switches.
- Temporizador de encendido y apagado automático: Set relays to automatically turn off after a specified duration or turn on for a set time.
- Power State After Power Failure: Define whether relays restore their last state, turn on, or turn off after power is restored.
- Relay Behavior: Adjust how the physical switch inputs control the relays (e.g., direct control, scene activation).
For a complete list of parameters and detailed instructions, please refer to the official Zooz support documentation for the ZEN16 MultiRelay on their websitio.
