Installation
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. Remove the top cover

Use a metal pry piece to press down at the notch (Fig. ①), then pry upwards (Fig. ②), and finally separate the top cover from the bottom case (Fig. ③).

3. 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 10A has been installed before the BASIC Gen5.

For single-phase use only (100–240V~). Connecting to multiple phases may result in damage to the device.

Ensure the wiring is correctly connected before installing the top cover. (Do not power on the device before the top cover is properly installed to avoid the risk of electric shock!)

4. Power on

When the device is used for the first time, it will enter pairing mode by default after being powered on. At this time, the LED indicator will flash in a pattern of “two short and one long”.

*The device will exit the Pairing Mode if not paired within 10mins. If you want to enter this mode, please long-press the button for about 5s until the LED indicator changes in a cycle of two short and one long flash and release.

Device Function
1. Magic Switch Mode

After short-circuiting the L1 and L2 of the switch terminals through the wires, the device can still be online and can be controlled through the APP after the users flip the wall switch to turn off/on the light.

• This feature is currently supported only within the eWeLink ecosystem and is not compatible with other platforms at this time.

• Add a wire to connect L1 to L2 on the wall switch following the manual, and the device will stay online even when you switch it off via the wall switch after “Magic Switch Mode” is enabled.

• The “Power-on State” will automatically be set to OFF, to make the “Magic Switch Mode” functional when enabled.

• The “Magic Switch Mode” will automatically disable after your adjustment to the “Power-on State”.

  • Requirements for realizing the function (connecting L1/L2).
  • Only compatible with mainstream brands of double-pole rocker switches. The rear-end light needs to be compatible with mainstream brands of LED, energy-saving lamps, and incandescent lamps ranging from 3W to 100W.
  • This function also applies to dual-control lamps.
