Important safety note: This product is listed for use with 240 V mains. Mains wiring, connection and any modification to fixed electrical installations must be carried out by a trained and qualified electrician. Isolate the circuit at the consumer unit before attempting installation. Use a voltage tester to confirm the supply is dead before handling wiring.

Overview of capabilities and connectivity: The unit provides a capacitive touchscreen for local control, centralised display of device status and feedback, and is designed for wall-mounted in-wall installation. Connectivity indicated in the product information: Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi. Compatibility with specific ecosystems or apps is not specified in the supplied product details.

Step 1 — Preparatory checks: Confirm the product model and that the installation location has an appropriate in-wall backbox and space for the touchscreen module. Verify you have the required mains supply (240 V) available at the mounting point. Read any printed installation instructions supplied with the unit.

Step 2 — Power isolation: Turn off the relevant circuit at the consumer unit and lock off the supply if possible. Use a voltage tester on the circuit conductors to verify the circuit is dead before proceeding.

Step 3 — Mounting the display: Remove the faceplate or protective cover per the manufacturer instructions. Prepare the backbox so cables can enter without damaging insulation. Position the unit in the backbox, use the spirit level to align, and secure with the supplied screws. Do not fully tighten until wiring is connected and tested.

Step 4 — Mains connection (by qualified electrician): Connect the incoming 240 V live and neutral conductors to the unit’s mains input terminals as per the installation diagram supplied with the device. Connect earth/ground if the device requires it or if local regulations demand. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. Re-check termination, then replace any terminal covers.

Step 5 — Initial power-up and hardware check: Restore power at the consumer unit. Observe the unit boot sequence on the touchscreen. Allow a few minutes for initialisation. If the display does not power on, immediately isolate the circuit and re-check wiring and fuses. If uncertain, contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer support.

Step 6 — Wireless setup (general guidance): Ensure your smartphone or tablet has Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi enabled. Open the control app supplied or recommended by your installer (the specific app is not specified in the product details). Use the app’s device-add or pairing function to discover the display over Bluetooth and follow in-app prompts to provision the device onto the site Wi‑Fi network. If prompted, enter the Wi‑Fi SSID and password. Allow the device to connect and complete provisioning. If no manufacturer app is available, consult the product documentation for supported setup methods: not specified in the supplied details.

Step 7 — Firmware and configuration: After provisioning, check for and apply any firmware updates presented in the app. Configure a device name, location/room, user access or PIN if the app supports it. Configure the touchscreen layout or pages according to your automation needs if the software provides layout tools.

Step 8 — Integrating devices and automations: Use the app or your automation hub to add controllable devices, scenes or sensors to the display’s control pages. Verify that status feedback (on/off states, sensor values) is shown correctly on the touchscreen and that commands from the touchscreen operate the connected devices.

Step 9 — Testing and final checks: Test each function (lighting, switches, scenes, sensor readouts) and confirm reliable behaviour. Check Wi‑Fi signal strength at the installation point; improve coverage if necessary. Ensure the touchscreen responds consistently and that the faceplate seats flush to the wall.

Troubleshooting: If the unit cannot be discovered by Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on the mobile device and move closer to the display. If Wi‑Fi provisioning fails, verify SSID/password are correct and the network uses a compatible frequency (2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz) — compatibility not specified in the supplied details. If the display fails to power or behaves erratically after installation, isolate the mains and contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer for support.

Reset and factory defaults: Procedures for factory reset or special pairing modes are not specified here; follow the manufacturer’s supplied instructions for reset operations to avoid unintended configuration loss.

Completion: Once installed, powered, configured and tested, tighten mounting screws, fit the final faceplate and document the device name, location and any access credentials in your site records.
