Step 3: Wiring the NSPanel Pro
- Follow these steps for wiring the device:
Remove the old switch or panel: If you’re replacing an existing switch, carefully remove it from the wall and disconnect the wiring.
- Connect the wires:
Line (Live) Wire: Connect the live wire from the wall to the “L” terminal on the NSPanel Pro.
Neutral Wire: Connect the neutral wire to the “N” terminal.
- Secure the wiring: After connecting the wires, make sure all connections are tight. Carefully tuck the wires back into the wall box.
- Mounting the NSPanel Pro for Table Use ( It requires the Enclosure Stand. )
Attach the NSPanel Pro to the enclosure stand, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Then, you can use it conveniently on a table or any flat surface.
Step 4: Powering On and Initial Setup
- Turn the power back on: Turn the main power supply back on and wait for the NSPanel Pro to power up. The screen should light up, indicating the panel is receiving power.
- Follow the on-screen instructions: The NSPanel Pro will guide you through an initial setup process, which includes selecting your country and language, connecting to your Wi-Fi network, logging into your eWeLink account, tapping “+” on the eWeLink App to select “scan QR code”, then scan the QR code on the device screen through your App.
