5. Installasie
The TONGOU Wi-Fi Smart Switch is designed for DIN rail mounting. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Kragontkoppeling: Voordat u enige elektriese werk begin, maak seker dat die hoofkragtoevoer na die stroombaan by die stroombreker afgeskakel is.
- Montering: Mount the smart switch onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. The device occupies one position (18mm width).
- Bedrading: Connect the power input (N for Neutral, L for Live) to the top terminals labeled 'Power'. Connect the load output (N for Neutral, L for Live) to the bottom terminals labeled 'Load'. The maximum wiring capacity is 10 mm² for both power and load sides. Ensure correct polarity.
- Kringbeskerming: It is recommended to install an upstream residual current circuit breaker (RCBO/A type, 30mA/10kA) to protect the circuit.
- Veilige verbindings: Use a screwdriver to securely tighten all wire connections.

6. Opstelling
To enable smart functionalities, connect your TONGOU Wi-Fi Smart Switch to the Smart Life or Tuya application.
- Laai die toepassing af: Download the "Smart Life" or "Tuya Smart" application from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Registreer/Teken Aan: Maak die toepassing oop en registreer vir 'n nuwe rekening of meld aan met 'n bestaande een.
- Voer paringsmodus in: After restoring power to the switch, press and hold the main button on the device for 5 to 10 seconds until the signal light blinks rapidly in blue. This indicates the device is in pairing mode.
- Voeg toestel in toepassing by: In the Smart Life/Tuya app, tap the "+" icon (usually in the top right corner) to add a new device. The app should automatically discover the switch. If not, manually select "Electrical" > "Circuit Breaker (Wi-Fi)" or similar.
- Koppel aan Wi-Fi: Follow the in-app instructions to connect the device to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Let wel: The device only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; 5 GHz networks are not compatible.
- Hernoem toestel: Once connected, you can rename the device for easier identification (e.g., "Living Room Light").
