In some cases, you may have some loads just only can be used on the voltage of 24VDC and hope that it still can be controlled by the Nano Switch, so please refer to the following diagram to achieve this:

Wiring diagram of 120/230VAC power input connection to 24VDC power output. 
(Compatible to Nano Switch without Energy Reading [ZW139] only).


  

Note: The “IN” terminal should be connected to the  “-” of 24VDC input.

Warning: Nano Switch ZW116 is not compatible with this configuration, you must use Nano Switch ZW139 without energy reading.


Wiring diagram of 24VDC power input.

Since the Nano Switch also supports the 24VDC power input, so you can use it to control the loads that powered by 24VDC.


         

If the output loads should be only powered by AC120V or AC230V, you can change the wire connection as below:

Wiring diagram of 24VDC power input to 120/230VAC power output. 
(Compatible to Nano Switch without Energy Reading [ZW139] only).


                

Note: The “IN” terminal should be connected to the “Live” of AC 120V/230V power wire.

Warning: Nano Switch ZW116 is not compatible with this configuration, you must use Nano Switch ZW139 without energy reading.
