Connection schedules

On this page you will find a complete overview of the connection diagrams of all our products, from switches to sockets. Each schedule helps you with a safe and correct installation of our systems.

At the bottom of the page you will also find an extensive explanation of the operation of a change in switching, including a clear step -by -step plan for connection thereof.

General information

Subjugate

Always work without voltage and check this.

Always switch off the power before you start installing. Do not only rely on a switched off, but always measure with a voltage finder or multimeter or there is really no tension on the threads anymore. Safety is always our priority.

Wire colors - what do they mean?

For a correct connection, it is essential to properly understand the meaning of the wire colors used. In all our connection diagrams we use the standard colors below, in accordance with the Dutch installation standards:

  • L (Brown) Is the phase wire. This wire leads the voltage and supplies electricity to the switch material.
  • N (blue) Is the zero wire. This wire returns the power towards the meter cupboard and ensures the closed circuit.
  • Black Is the switch wire. This wire runs from the switch to the lamp or another connected device, and feeds the connected voltage.
  • Gray is also used as a switching wire. This can be an extra or alternative switch wire, for example with a roller shutter switch, gray is often used for the function down.
  • Green/yellow Is the earth wire, also called PE. This wire provides safety and is connected to grounded parts such as sockets or metal housings.

With low -voltage installations (12V–24V DC), such as with some Smart Home applications, different colors apply:

  • Is the positive thread (+).
  • Is the negative thread ( -).

When connecting 12–24V systems, make sure that you do not confuse these wires with the black/gray switch wires from 230V installations. Always check the power supply of the product before you start connecting.

Please note: the correct connection of these wires is essential for the safe operation of your installation. Always follow the connection schedule that belongs to the product in question, and switch off the power before you start connecting.

Where can you find the connection schedules?

You will find the connection schedules of our products not only on this page, but also with each individual product on our website.

You can find this under the tab “Specifications”, under the head “Connection schedule”. This way you always have the right schedule at hand, tailored to the specific product that you view or ordered.

Can I connect switch material myself?

In the Netherlands you can connect as a private switching material, provided you do this safely and according to the guidelines. Do you have doubts about the connection or do you not have the right knowledge? Then always switch on a recognized installer. Safety is paramount for electrical installations.

Is a zero wire needed for Livolo switches?

No, and that is unique about our products.
Our switches, including the Smart Home variants, work without zero wire.
This means that you can always connect our switches to the existing wiring in your home, without having to make adjustments to your installation. That makes it not only easier, but also much faster and cost -saving in existing homes.

What if my switch doesn't work after connection?

First check whether the correct threads are connected to the correct clamps and whether there is voltage on the phase wire. With smart or dimmable switches it is important that the connected lamp is compatible (for example, dimmable with a dimmer).
If in doubt, contact our customer service, we are happy to help you further or analyze the problem with you remotely.

Place glass plate

Do I have to switch off the power before I mount the glass plate?

Yes, Always turn off the group in the meter cupboard Before clicking the glass plate on the touch switch. This is important for your safety and for the correct operation of the switch.

Why does the power have to be out when installing the glass plate?

After switching on the current, the switch automatically synchronizes with the glass plate within 5 seconds. If the glass plate is already placed while the power was on, this synchronization does not take place properly.

What happens when I place the glass plate while the power is still on?

The switch will then not properly synchronize with the glass plate, so that it may not function properly or does not respond at all.

What should I do if I have already placed the glass plate with the power on?

No problem. Turn off the group in the meter cupboard and then again. The switch then restarts and still synchronizes correctly with the glass plate.

Install touch switch switches

Can a touch switch switch on existing wiring?

Yes, our touch switches can easily be connected to the existing wiring in your home. So you don't have to pull a new wiring. This makes the installation easy, quickly and suitable for both renovation and new construction.

Does a touch switch switch work with a traditional switch?

No. A touch switching switch functions Only with another touch switch switch. Combining a touch switch with a traditional (mechanical) switch is not possible. Both switches must support the same touch technology to function correctly.

How many touch switches can I use in one circuit?

You can maximum Five touch switches Link with each other in one circuit. These are interconnected with a Com-wire, while each switch is connected separately to its own phase wire (L). This makes the application of a cross switching superfluous.

Do I still need a cross switch at Touch Wisselers?

No. A cross switch is a cross switch with Touch Exchange Switches no more needed. Thanks to the COM connection between multiple touch switches, the need for a complex cross switching is lapsed. This considerably simplifies the installation.

How does a smart home change switch work in a switch switch?

When applying a Smart Home exchange switch, you only need one smart switch in the entire circuit. The other switches can be normal on/off touch switch switches. That is more efficient and cost -saving.

NB: The Smart Home switch must be placed at the location where the lamp is connected.

How does a dimmer exchange switch work in a changeover switch?

Even when applying a dimmer exchange switch, only one dimmer is needed in the circuit. The other switches may be on/off touch switches as standard. This saves you costs and the operation remains flexible.

Just as with the Smart Variant: the dimmer must be connected to the spot where the lamp is connected.

Does the lamp have to be connected to a specific place?

No. At Touch Exchange switches you can connect the lamp to any desired location in the circuit. This gives flexibility during installation. It is important that you work consistently and that the wiring corresponds to the schedule.

Can I combine single and double exchange switches?

Yes. You can combine single and double exchange switches in the same installation without any problems. The following also applies here: you can connect the lamp to several places. With double switches, the lamps are connected to output L1 or L2 of the relevant button.

What happens when I connect the lamp to L1 or L2?

When you connect a lamp to L1 or L2, this is a fixed output. The relevant button on the switch will therefore always serve that lamp specifically. This is useful for, for example, double switches, where you operate multiple light points independently of each other.

Connection schedule

1 - Changing switching
1 - cross switching
1 - Cross switching - 4 simple
2 - Changing switching

This is an example of a double change in switch. The lamps can be connected to any exchange switch. It is not mandatory to connect them to the same switch.

2 - cross switching

This is an example of a double cross switch. The lamps can be connected to any exchange switch. It is not mandatory to connect them to the same switch.

2 - cross switching - 4 simple

This is an example of a double cross switch 4 simple. The lamps can be connected to any exchange switch. It is not mandatory to connect them to the same switch.

Combination single and double switching switch

This is an example of a possible circuit. You can also create other combinations of single and double exchange switches, where you can combine 2 to 5 single and double exchange switches. The switch to which the lamp is connected works directly on that button and cannot be changed. You will then easily learn the other switches.

Synchronize

Do I still have to synchronize the switches after installation?

Yes, after you have connected the switches correctly according to the connection schedule, they still have to be synchronized. Without synchronization, the exchange switches will not communicate with each other and the operation of the lamp will not function on the other switch.

How do I check if the switches are properly connected?

After installation, first check the following:

  • Does both switches burn the LED lighting (blue or red)?
  • Do all switches to which a lamp is connected (connection L1 / L2) work correctly when switching on and off?

If you have any questions for one of these two "no" must answer, is the connection not correct according to the schedule. First check the wiring before you start synchronizing.

How do I synchronize the switches together?
  1. Keep the switch to which the lamp is connected (connection L1 or L2) approximately 5 seconds pressed, until you have a beey belongs.
  2. Release the switch immediately after the beep.
  3. Then press the other touch switch switch once in short And let go.
  4. Now the switches are synchronized. You can operate the lighting from both switches.
How do I delete the wrong synchronization?

Have you accidentally linked a wrong switch or is the set no longer responding well? Then you can synchronization reset:

  1. Keep the relevant switch 20 pressed seconds.
  2. You first hear one beep, keep pressed until you have one second beep belongs.
  3. Then let go. The synchronization has now been completely deleted.

NB: The synchronization remains stored in the memory, even after switching off the current. A reset is therefore only necessary in the event of incorrect coupling or replacement of a switch.

What are important points of attention when synchronizing?
  • You can go on the lamp each Connect touch switch: 1, 2, 3 or 4.
  • Maximum Four switch switches can via the Com connection are linked.
  • You can both Some switch switches (e.g. VL-FC1S-2G) if Double/series switches (e.g. VL-FC2S-2G).
  • Synchronization is retained, even in the event of a power failure or when you switch off the group.
  • At Livolo is No cross switch required, not even with three or more switches.
Will the synchronization retain after switching off the power group?

Yes, the synchronization between the Touch exchange switches remains internal memory, even when you switch off the power through the group in the meter cupboard. So you have to make it after voltage or a power interruption not to synchronize again. The switches continue to function immediately after switching on as before.

Can I use different groups for one change in switching?

No, all switches within one change link must be on the same power group be connected. Combining multiple groups in one circuit is absolutely not allowed And can lead to dangerous situations such as short circuit or overload. So always make sure that all touch switches that are connected to each other via the com wire come from one and the same group In your meter cupboard. When in doubt: have this checked by a recognized installer.

Step -by -step plan: Install touch switch switch without a meter

Existing situation alternating switching

You have two existing flush -mounted boxes with the usual change in wiring. You do not know exactly which wire is what, and you have no voltage finder or multimeter. Then follow the step -by -step plan below.
NB: Always work safely and voltage with every action.

How many switches do I need for a Touch Exchange Shifting?

For a standard touch change link you always need two on/off touch switch switches. These switches work together via a COM connection.

Can I use a dimmer in a switch switch?

Yes, you can. You then need one dimmer touch switch switch and one normal on/off touch switch switch. This way you can dim the lamp and operate from both points.

Can I use a Smart Home switch in a switch switch?

Yes, you only have to apply one smart home touch switch, in combination with one on/off touch switch switch. This keeps the exchange control, and you can also operate the lamp via app or speech.

Where should I place the dimmer or smart home switch?

The dimmer or smart home switch must always be placed on the side where the lamp is connected. That is the flush -mounted box where three black threads come from, including the wire that runs to the lamp.

Step -by -step plan

Step 1 - What is the situation with a switch switch?

A traditional changeover switch consists of:

Position 1.

  • 1 black wire to the lamp
  • 2 black threads that go to the other switch

Position 2.

  • 1 brown phase wire (food)
  • 2 black threads that go to the other switch
Step 2 - Connecting the brown wire and first black wire

Start position 2:

  1. Connect the brown phase wire to one of the L connections.
  2. Connect one of the two black threads (which goes to the other switch) to the other L connection.
  3. One black thread stays loose and do not connect.

In this way you also make the second black thread to power supply: the L connections are connected internally to the switch, so both wires now feed voltage.

Step 3 - Test which wire goes to the lamp

Now go to position 1, where 3 black threads are present.
You do not yet know which goes to the lamp.

  1. Connect one black thread to L1.
  2. Connect one of the other two black threads to L.
  3. Come well off the remaining black wire with a welding clamp or insulating tape.
  4. Turn the group in the meter cupboard, see if the switch at position 1 lights blue.
  5. Press the switch and see if you can operate the lamp on/off?

Does it work? Continue to Step 5.
Does it not work? Turn off the group and follow Step 4.

Step 4 - Test combinations

You have 3 wires on position 1, and there are 3 possible combinations.
Repeat step 3 with the other combinations:

  1. Exchange the wire on L1 with the non -connected wire.
  2. Turn on the group and test whether the switch works.
  3. Is it still not working? Turn off the group again.
  4. Now also change the wire on L with the wire that is not connected now.
  5. Turn on the tension again and test.

After these three attempts, the correct combination with 2 threads must be found and you can turn the lamp on and off from this switch.

Step 5-Connect COM wire

At position 1. And position 2. Now one loose black wire is now hanging.

  1. Connect this thread to the COM connection with both positions.
  2. Turn the group on again.
  3. Check if both switch light up but do nothing else.

If not? Check if the COM wire is properly stuck on both sides.

Step 6 - Check the operation of both switches
  1. Press the switch where Three black threads connected.
  2. Does the lamp go on/off? Then everything is connected correctly.
  3. Does the lamp not go on/off?
  • Turn off the group.
  • Exchange the threads on L and L1.
  • Turn the group on again and test again.
Step 7 - Syncing the switches

Now both switches still have to be syn -converted.

  1. Keep the switch button where the Three black threads are sitting about 5 seconds pressed Until you one beey belongs.
  2. Let go immediately.
  3. Then press briefly on the other switch.
  4. Now both switches have been synchronized.

Now both switches will function properly.
