Pre p a rat i o n
Unpack the ZNZ-ZN and inspec t the contents for damaged or missing par ts. I f any problems ar ise,
please contac t Touch-Plate at 260.426.1 565 for assistance.
Pre c a u t i o n s
The ZNZ-ZN hardware is designed to be in environments that have a temperature range of 0-60°C
(non- condensing atmosphere). I nstalling in an environment outside of these parameters will
shor ten the life span of the hardware.
Touch-Plate recommends the use of 18 to 22 AWG wire for low voltage wir ing of contac t closure
produc ts and 18 AWG wire for all 24V power connec tions.
Al l 120VAC wir ing must use wire as specified by National Elec tr ic Code for load size and wire length.
Co mp at i b l e Hard ware
The ZNZ-ZN produc t can be a par t of a net wor ked, intelligent system with a Time -Keeper. I t can also
be a standalone item that can incor porate the following produc ts:

To cor rec tly update an existing system, be sure that the entire system is being updated. Power from
the circuit breaker MUST be tur ned off before removing any existing par ts. M ost systems that have
control stations with pilot lights must have those existing control stations replaced before br inging
power to the updated system.
Use the following instruc tions to cor rec tly label and remove the existing system.

When a ZNZ-ZN is paired with a Time -Keeper, some of the settings change to ensure that they are
compatible with one another. Please re view the following if a Time -Keeper is par t of the system.
•
A Time -Keeper paired with a ZNZ-ZN is only utilized to program events.
•
The ZNZ-ZN will not allow LEDs to reac t to events programmed through the Time -Keeper.
•
The Address and Option DIP Switches are only utilized if a Time -Keeper is par t of the

The Address Dip Switches are used to set the DMX Address only if a Time -Keeper is present.
Nor mally, these Dip Switches come from the fac tor y pre -programmed. I f they do not, make sure you
do not duplicate addresses, as each ZNZ-ZN must have its own unique address.
Note that each ZNZ-ZN utilizes 6 addresses. For example, if on one Time -Keeper net wor k there were

I f no response occurs when the system is powered up, use the following steps to identify the
problem.
1. R emove the Diecut from the ZNZ-ZN.
2. Look for the LED indicator to be blink ing on the ZNZ-ZN.
a.
b.
c. For the indicator to be blink ing, power has to be cor rec tly brought to the
system.
I f the LED indicator is not blink ing, confir m power connec tions and then
contac t the fac tor y for assistance.
I f the LED indicator is blink ing, move on to the nex t step.
3. Ver ify that the line voltage has been fed to all the necessar y relays.
4. Ver ify that each light fix ture is connec ted to the ‘Switched Leg’.
5. Ver ify that 120 VAC has been connec ted to the transfor mer on the R elay B oard.
6. Take a shor t piece of thin wire (both ends need to be str ipped) and hold one end to
the conduc tive metal of the ‘Switch Common’.
7. Take the other end of the shor t wire and tap it to the conduc tive metal of each of
the R elay ter minals, on the ZoneZ-N, one at a time.
a.
Each touch should energize the relay and change its state. The lights in the
respec tive rooms should go ON and OFF when the ter minal is touched.
8. I f the lights do not respond, use a meter on the line voltage relay outputs to see if
the voltage switches from 0 to 120 VAC.
9. I f these steps do not solve the problem, please contac t the fac tor y for assistance.

Fre q u e nt l y Asked Q uest ions
1. What are Groups?
a.
b.
Groups allow for a single button to control multiple relays.
For example: I n most bathrooms there are lights above the sink and above
the shower. I f both lights are desired to be tur ned on at the same time with
the push of a single button, Grouping makes this possible.
2. What are the ‘Option’ Func tions?
a.
Option Func tions are to be used when a Time -Keeper is connec ted to the
ZNZ-ZN.
3. What is the ‘DMX Address’?
a.
b.
The DMX Address is a number in a line of specific addresses.
This has to be done because ever ything has a unique address and has to be
programmed to do so.
4. What is the ‘Pilot Voltage’?
a.
b.
Pilot Voltage is set to 24V from the fac tor y so it can send the cor rec t voltage
to the switches.
When using the Pilot Voltage set at 6.3V, this can only be used when existing
lit switches are not updated at the same time.
5. What are the ‘ Ter minations’?
a.
These are DMX line ter minations. This is only used if a DMX controller is
connec ted to the ZNZ-ZN.
6. Why are there so many ‘HOTs’ and what are ‘Jumpers’?
a.
b.
The ‘HOTs’ are so power can be fed to all six relays without using wire nuts.
This will help make the installation as neat and order ly as possible.
The way that the power is fed to all six relays is by using the ‘Jumpers’. These
are metal inser ts that “jump” the previous ‘HOT ’ to the nex t ‘HOT ’.
7. How do you save the programming?
a.
The programming is saved once the Group, R elay, or Ac tion is entered and
the button press is released.
