Installation and Configuration Guide
① Switch Button
- Single press: Turn on/off the smart device
- Quickly execute 5 "ON → OFF" cycles: Device enters the pairing mode. (Pairing time 3 minutes)
② Device Button
- Press and hold for 5 seconds: Device enters the pairing mode. (Pairing time 3 minutes)
- Press three times quickly: Switch external switch type.
③ LED indicator (Green)
- Slow flash (when the relay is in the off state): Device is in pairing mode.
- Keeps on (when the relay is in the open state): Connected to the gateway normally.
- Fast flash (when the relay is in the on state): Network connection abnormal, Orb-ZBW1L is connected to the parent device normally, but the router is disconnected from the gateway.

1. Power off

WARNING
Please install and maintain the device by a professional electrician. To avoid electric shock hazards, do not operate any connection or contact the terminal connector while the device is powered on!
2. Wiring instruction
To ensure the safety of your electrical installation, it's essential that either a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or a Residual Current operated Circuit-breaker with Integral Overcurrent protection (RCBO) with an electrical rating of 6A has been installed before the ZBMINIL2-E.
Make sure all wires are connected correctly.

FAQ
1. Does Orb-ZBW1L support installation without a neutral wire?
Yes. Orb-ZBW1L is designed to work without a neutral wire, making it ideal for retrofit installations in most standard wall mounting boxes.

2. What is the maximum load supported by Orb-ZBW1L?
Orb-ZBW1L is rated for 6A. Do not connect devices that exceed this rating.
3. What types of loads can it control?
It is suitable for most resistive loads like LED lights, incandescent bulbs, and tungsten lamps.
4. Can I use a wall switch to control the light manually?
Yes. You can connect a mechanical wall switch to the S1/S2 terminals, enabling manual control alongside smart control.
5. Does it support timers and automation?
Yes. Once paired with a Zigbee hub, you can set schedules, countdowns, and smart scenes/automation rules.
6. Do I need to connect a flash suppression module (anti-flicker device)?
No. Orb-ZBW1L does not support external flash suppression modules. Connecting one may damage the device.
7. Can Orb-ZBW1L work as a Zigbee router/repeater (relay device)?
No. Orb-ZBW1L is designed as a Zigbee end device, not a router. To minimize power consumption and prevent light flickering, it uses a low-power design and does not relay Zigbee signals to other devices.
Troubleshooting
1. Device not pairing with Zigbee hub.
- Ensure the device is powered on and wired correctly.
- Long-press the pairing button until the LED indicator starts blinking rapidly.
- Ensure your hub is compatible and in pairing mode, and within 2 meters of the device during initial pairing.
- Try restarting your hub and retry the pairing process.
2. Orb-ZBW1L shows offline or unresponsive.
- Check the power supply and ensure the device is powered.
- Make sure your Zigbee hub is online and within signal range.
- Try rebooting the hub or power-cycling the Orb-ZBW1L.
3. Switch not controlling the load.
- Ensure Live In and Live Out are properly connected.
- Make sure the connected device does not exceed the 6A rating.
- If using a wall switch, ensure it's functioning properly and wired correctly.
4. The Zigbee signal is still weak in some areas.
- Try relocating Orb-ZBW1L to a central or elevated position.
- Avoid placement near metal surfaces or dense walls.
- Add more Zigbee routers to create a mesh network.
