Installation

Guide

Supported Models and Requirements

Europe: EFLS102/N1W UK: EFLS102/N1W

This device requires a neutral AC connection.

This device requires a 4-position terminal block in its wall box.

Specifications and Supported Fixtures

This switch operates independently or as a device you can control with your Escient® system. It installs in a standard wall box using typical wiring standards and communicates to the Escient system using a wireless connection. The specifications and supported fixtures are described below.

Installation Instructions

1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:

The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly dependent on the following: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout of the home; (3) walls separating devices; and (4) electrical equipment located near devices.

DO NOT exceed maximum load rating of switch (which is 1000 Volt for a single unit).

WARNING! Disconnect power before installing or servicing the device.

2 Switch off and isolate the mains power at the main consumer unit or fuse box before starting any installation or maintenance work.

3 Prepare the wall box and wires:

Ensure a 4-position terminal block is installed in the box.

Strip each wire’s insulation back 7.3 mm (0.287 in.) from the wire end (as shown).

WARNING! This is a Class 1 product and must be Earthed.

Sample Wiring Configurations

Single-Location Scenario—Power Source at Wall Box

Note: This device will not function without a neutral AC connection.

To wire the switch for a Escient single-location scenario in which the power is first routed to the wallbox, use a 4-position terminal connector to connect the wires indicated in the following table (illustrated in Figure 2):

Two-Location Scenario—Power Source at Wall Box

Note: This device will not function without a neutral AC connection.

To wire the switch and a multi-button keypad in a two-location scenario (Escient’s 3-way-switch solution) where the power is first routed to the wall box, do the following:

1.Wire the switch into Wall Box #1 by using a 4-position terminal connector to connect the following wires (illustrated in Figure 3):

WARNING! Improper use or installation can cause SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH or LOSS/DAMAGE OF PROPERTY.

WARNING! Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

WARNING! If you are not sure which wires are Hot, Neutral, Load or Ground, have a trained electrician do the installation.

CAUTION! Do not install to control a receptacle.

CAUTION! If you are not sure which wires are Hot, Neutral, Load or Ground, have a trained electrician do the installation.

IMPORTANT! Using this product in a manner other than outlined in this document voids your warranty. Further, Escient is NOT liable for any damage incurred with the misuse of this product. See “Limited 2 Year Warranty.”

IMPORTANT! Do NOT use a power screw driver to install this device.

IMPORTANT! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Escient could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

4 Identify and connect switch wires to the wall box wires. Wall box wires can differ depending upon how the box was wired by the electrician and where the power source comes from—either the light fixture or the wall box. Refer to “Sample Wiring Configurations”.

5 Fit wires back into the wall box. Bend the wires in a zigzag pattern so that they easily fold into the wall box.

6 Connect the switch terminal block to the wall box wires as indicated in “Sample Wiring Configurations.”

Note: Wall box wires can differ depending upon how the box was wired by your electrician.

7 Secure the switch to the wall box using the screws provided.

8 Attach the Decora-style screw-on wall plate (included).

WARNING! Do not turn power back on until the wall plate is completely back in place.

9 When installation is complete, turn on the mains power. 10 Ensure that all LEDs on the front are lit.
