• Ensure your workspace is dry and organised.

These steps will help ensure a safe and successful installation of your smart switch.

Module Compatibility and Console Box Specifications:

When preparing to install the 8S smart switch, understanding its compatibility and console box requirements is crucial for a successful setup:

Module Name: 8S

Console Box Size: 233 mm x 78 mm (9" x 3")

Module Specifications:

• Light Switches (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5): 6A each
• High-Load Switches (H1, H2): 16A each
• Two-Way Switch (T1 & T2): 6A each

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:

1. Neutral (N): Powers the device.
2. Phase 1 (P1) UPS/EB: Primary power supply.
3. Lights 1-4 (L1, L2, L3, L4): Controls for individual lights.
4. Phase 2 (P2) EB: Alternative power source or looped with P1.
5. Light 5 (L5): Additional light control.
6. High-Load (H1, H2): Manages high-wattage devices.
7. Phase 3 (P3): Power or load for the two-way switch.
8. 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)

1. The phases for EB and UPS will remain separate.
2. The neutral line will be common for both EB and UPS.

3. 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 the first four loads (L1, L2, L3, and L4).
• The EB phase is connected to P2, supplying power to the three loads (L5, H1, and H2).
• The common neutral will be connected to N.

Type 2: Common Phase (EB or UPS and Common Neutral)

1. The P1 and P2 phases share the same phase line, either from the EB or UPS.
2. The P1 phase is the primary power supply.
3. Establish a loop connection from the P1 phase to the P2 phase to create a common phase line.

4. 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 the first four loads (L1, L2, L3, and L4).
• The P1 phase is looped to P2, supplying power to the three loads (L5, H1, and H2).
• The common neutral will be connected to N

Type 3: Common Phase(EB or UPS) but different Load Capacity

1. The P1 and P2 phases share the same phase line but have different load capacities, such as 6A and 16A, respectively.
2. The P1 phase is the primary power supply.

3. In 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 the first four loads(L1, L2, L3, and L4).
• P2 is responsible for 16A load variants. The EB phase is connected to P2, providing power to the three loads (L5, H1, and H2).
• The common neutral will be connected to N.

Type 4: Different Phase and Different Neutral

1. P1 and P2 have different phases: one from the generator or solar, and the other from the EB.
2. The neutral line will be different for both the generator/solar and the EB.

3. 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 the first four loads (L1, L2, L3, and L4).
• The EB phase is connected to P2, providing power to the three loads (L5, H1, and H2).
• Separate neutrals are connected to both P1 and P2.

Type 5: Additional Customization for High Load Output Using External Relay (Common Neutral)

1. The phases for EB and UPS will remain separate.
2. The neutral line will be common for both EB and UPS.

3. 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 the first four loads (L1, L2, L3, and L4).
• The EB phase is connected to P2, supplying power to the three loads (L5, H1, and H2).
• The common neutral will be connected to N

1. To externally control high loads through an existing power switch (e.g., from L5, 6A), add a 40A relay for external supply control.

2. In the above scenario, the connections for the relay will be as follows:

• The phase for the relay is from L5.
• 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:

1. In our iotics switch (8S), a two-way terminal is provided at the bottom of the enclosure.
2. We have 3 terminals: T1, P3, and T2.

3. In the above scenario, the connections will be as follows:

• Connect the P3 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.
